(From Mondays Daily.)

Rev. 9. D. Mayhem of Albany,
Wis, who preached in the Baptist
churches of Baraboo and Fairfield the

SLUGGERS WIN
ANOTHER GAME
Fl. Wayne Electric Of Mad
ison is Defeated
Score 7 to 4.
(From Mondays Daily.)

Curry's Sluggers kept up their win.
ming streak yesterday by defeating
the Ft Wayne Electric team of Madi-
son by the score of to 4. The game
in many ways was good one as there
were times when both sides play ed
brilliantly, but for the most part the
playing was very loose on each side.
The errors made by the Sluggers were
responsible for all of the visitors runs,
and the Sluggers helped themselves to
couple of runs on the misplays by
the FIT. Wayne team. At the bat the
Ft. Wayne team was practically help
less, as they secured but three hits
during the game, and only one of those
was clean hit, the other two taking
bad bounds just as they were to be
fielded. The Sluggers hit hard and
timely, the hitting of Block and Nc
Donald being the feature of the game,
this pair seeming to be the only
Sluggers that could solve the opposing
pitcher consistently.
Next Sunday the Sluggers meet
team from the university engineering
camp. Sackerson, the varsity pitcher
who pitched for the Fuller & Johnson
team will do the twirling for the
STUDENTS.

railway bridge in the village of Kill
bourn and unfortunately train came
laundering along at the same time
which frightened the team. The driver
lost control of the horses and the two
were thrown from the buggy. They
were picked up in an unconscious con-

neither sustained any serious injuries
in the shape of broken bones is
miracle. Both are getting along nicely
today.
The buggy was badly damaged and
the horses were stopped some distance

went to the Door of Hope. There they

as Mrs. Mary G. Thompson. This Mrs

former state senator and she gave her
residence as Malott Park. Mrs. Batty
had been the wife of a state senator,

Batty and his friend then began to
search for the mother of the babe born
at the Door of Hope. In some way they
got on her trail and found that she was
a 19-year-old girl that had come here
from Eaton, Ind. When found the
young mother said she had been to the
Door of Hope to- get her child, but
could get no trace of it. She said the

that Mrs. Batty looked very much like

This was the evidence that was pre-

called for trial. The Eaton girl, who
had been refused admission to the
child, was present and identified the
baby as hers and she appealed to the
court to restore it to her, saying she
was able and willing to care for it.
Mrs. Batty sat with the child in her

Neighbors testified that they had seen

Mr.. Batty then demanded that she sub

said that she had not called a phys

hardly probable that woman would
have had a nurse on such an occasion

asked if she might come to see it, but
this was refused by Mrs. Batty's law ,
yer Then she asked the court how
she might get possession of it legally |
and he told her she could get out a
writ of habeas corpus and prove the
child's parentage. The mother is a |
working girl and has no money with |
which to employ lawyers, and Mrs.
Batty still has the child. Of course,
she cannot surrender it without tacitly |
that it is not hers and this
she will not do.
AS the wife of a state senator Mrs.
Batty was member of the state board |
of charities and moved in the best So
ciety in the city. After her divorce
from her senatOr-husband and her
