ROTHERS BECOME HEROES AT

by the occurrence that he made
effort to rescue her. Michael Dor

Fe his coat Dorak plunged into
water and reached the side OF

CHOCTAWS SHUT OUT
IN GAME SATURDAY
BILL VETTER'S WORK IN BOX
WAS EVIDENTLY NOT ALL
LUCK.
Mike Farrell of the Choctaws Held
Our Boys Down to Six Hits But

Mike Farrell of the ChoctaWs Helu
Our Boys Down to Six Hits But
They Were Bunched so That Sew
en- Scores Were Made.
"BilP' Vetter demonstrated on
Saturday that his previous good
work as a pitcher was not mere good
luck. He let the strong "Choctaw
team of the Lackawanna County
League have but five hits and no
runs, while his teammates gave their
usual good support. In the fourth
inning Vetter pitched only three
balls to retire the side.
The visitors brought the much
touted Mike" Farrell with them,
and that made it look bad for Homes
dales chances, but by patiently wait
ing him out, and making few timely
wallops, the locals won out very
handily. Vetter pitched the same
easy foaters during the whole game,
the kind that makes your heart go
UP into your mouth every time the
latter takes a healthy swing at it.,
as it seems as though they would
knock it out of the lot; but all the
e. Choctaws could do was to knock lit
= tie pop flies or strike out.
For four innings it looked like a
a great pitchers battle, but in the fifth
Farrell began to weaken. Schilling
81 was given a base on balls, Farrell S
N wild throw put him on second and
- threw low to third, when Hessling
rolled slow one t him, Shotto let
II it get through him and Schilling
scored. Vetter rolled one to Coer,
Hessling going to second and Brader
shot a nice single to right, but Hess
ling was held at third. Lily rolled
slow one to short and should have
been out but Morel dropped the ball.
We scored two more in the sixth
Sandy started the inning with a
two-bagger. Weaver flew out to
center, and Tarkett was safe on
ODonnells muff, Sandy going to
third. Shilling chopped one tC

MAY NOT PAVE THIS FALL.

According to state officials, Main
street may not be paved this year as
was first anticipated, owing to the
hold up of state appropriations. The
bids have not been advertised and
before any contracts are let these
ads necessarily have to appear in
the press three weeks. If the bids
are not advertised at once the paw
ing will come late in the fall when
frost will interfere with the work.
1t looks now as if Main street will
not be paved until spring.

The lunch wagon, which has stood
all summer at the corner of Main

placard posted thereon. Houses are
scarce in Honesdale but 1t may be
some time before apartments of

"Moffat county has debt Of close

THE HERALD is not in q position

pute them so far rs Rio Blanco
county Is concerned. Reference to
the financial statement of this (RiO
Blanco) county y. published last

ness is 416, ,sl59 SO; not bad showing
in view of the fact that we had to
assme nearly $4,000 of Garfield

The Post is pleased with evident
determination of Commissioner Nc
Learn to give the people some relief
from the poor roads with which they
have battled ever since the county
was settled. We firmly believe that
the good roads question Is the great
est problem which today confronts
the state of Colorado and the county
Of Garfield. II the money spent on
good roads is spent intelligently and
to the best advantage it ceases to be
an expense and becomes an invest
ment. There may be some people
who will complain at a large expend-
iture of money for good roads, but we
think there are very few who will
criticise provided the commissioners
will only see to it that the people get
proper returns for the expenditure.
There Is the real trouble and that Is
the basis Of nearly all the criticism of
the past.-Glenwood Post.
