the spare moments of many of the
village folks.

The ball game at Braddock last

though the score book was filled up
with runs, hits, errors and all the

According to the follow ing from

arrived on Monday. They are be-
ginning work today on Johns Wray's
farm near town."
While returning from Braddock
last Sunday afternoon with load of
ball-players the auto of w. j. Pettis
came very near upsetting and spill

trying to come back into the road
the auto shot clear across and down
into the deep ditch on the other side,
tipping up until prevented from 60

Luckily neither the occupants nor the
car were hurt in the least.

alone on the place, and succeeded in
saving an organ and a few other
small articles, but most Of the furni.
ture and clothing was destroyed.
The fire fighters had hard time to
save the barn and other buildings,
but were finally successful. Mr..
Buck had no insurance on his prop

family is indeed a heavy one.

the field. While they were on the
other side little prairie-fire peeped
over the grass, spied a victim,
