The old organization had all arrange
ments completed for six-team league.
This league was composed OF an hrst-
rate bowlers. Before the schedule
could be completed It was found that
bunch of frst-class bowlers had been
omitted. and consequently the league
had tc admit two more teams to mako
the schedule complete.
Two weeks later the demand OF
teams for admission was SO great that
another league was necessary. This
lea que was named The Times-D Dispatch
League. and was composed of The
Times Dispatch's employees only This
is a fair sample or what can BIO
achieved on the alleys in short time.
There Is not a single bowler on any
team who has ever rolled tenpins be-
fore this mast summer.
After q few weeks the merchants of
the city got together and decided that
they must be represented in the game.

pastime. They Will donate prizes to
the respective teams in their league.

the people of Indian creek as one of
the most worthy women of the Vlcin-
ity and her judgment and advice was
regarded the Soundest- She was pop
ular with all, and was one of. the
most widely known elderly women
north of Topeka
She was born near Springfield, O..
in April 1871. Her maiden name was
Miss Stella Hawkins. She was mar
ried to Joshua Browning at Spring
field, in Septem Der, 1850. The Brown
ings came to Kansas in November,
1877 and located first near East In
dianola and later moved to the farm
seven miles north of Topeka on In
dian creek. where they have since
lived. Her husband is said to be a
distant connection of the poet, Rob
ert Browning.
Her daughters living are: Mrs.
Howard Pierce of Topeka; Mrs. A. H.
McGrew of Chicago; her sons are j.
Q. Browning of Indian Creek, and
Harley Browning of Linwood. She is

happiness at being permitted to be
brought to trial at this time. She
says she fears that she would be I'M
