Settlers is being held at the picnic

proprietors and their employees an
opportunity to join with the old
settlers in having one of the biggest
times that has ever been held in
Washbnrn.
The Washburn band started maxi
ing music at about ten o'clock this
morning and at 1880 o'clock the

Washburn Defeated by II
to 6 Score
Home Run by Ashland Man
won the Game for the Gar
land City Boys.

The Washburn base ball team went
down to defeat in the fifth game of
series played with the Ashland city
team at Ashland last Sunday after
noon. The Ashland boys won their
game by heavy hitting during the
first two innings of the game, putting
three men around the bases in the
first inning and seven in the second.
This big lead rather took the heart
out of the Washburn outfit but after
the second inning the team gathered
strength and a good game of ball was
played.
During the second inning, with
three men on bases, Secor of ASH
land drove ball over the fence for a
home run, bringing in four scores.
Ashland only made one score after
the second inning while Washburn
was credited with one in the first,
two in the fourth, one In the fifth
and one in the eighth and ninth.
Derusha. who pitched the game
for Washburn, was not in as good
form as he was a week ago and
eleven hits were secured off his
delivery. He walked two men and
only struck out fom. At times the
support given him was rather ragged,
nine errors being credited against
the players.
Quarters did net pitch as good
game as he did week ago. He was
touched up for eight hits, two of
which were over the left field fence;
he walked two men and had two
wild pitches. The Washburn players
are beginning to believe that Quarders
is not the great pitcher that he has
been credited with being and they
are not afraid to face him when he is
in the box. With each game played
they are securing more hits.
The tabulated score of the game
is as follows:

Will Kill Weeds.

An experiment was tried by
local parties this week in killing
noxious weeds that worked to
perfection and we give the
remedy to others who may also
want to try it out. The expert.
ment was tried on a healthy
burdock. The weed was cut off
close to the ground and a few
drops of kerosene oil was pour.
ed over the plant where it had
been cut off. In three or four
days time the entire plant, root
and all, had been killed.
Care should be taken not to
pour too much oil on the plant
for oil will kill the land so that
nothing will grow upon it.

Seven Year Old Boy has
Fingers Blown off
Tried to Light Dynamite Cap
With Match and Explosion
Follows.

A Finlander boy, seven years of
age and residing in the Finlander
district near the Sioux River coun-
try, was brought to this city last
Saturday afternoon for medical at
tendance, having had the fingers on
one hand blown off by an explosion
of dynamite cap.
In some manner the little fellow
had gotten hold of dynamite cap
and after securing a match he at
tempted to set it off with the result
that an explosion followed and the
end of the fingers on one of his hands
were blown off.
The little fellow bore up bravely
under the shock and unless complica-
tions set in he will recover from the
accident.

Ole Holgren, a pioneer resi-
dent of this city, died at his
home on west Pine street last
Sunday afternoon at three o.
clock after an illness extending
over a long period. For the past
two or three years the gentle
man had been in poor health and
his health gradually failed until
death came to relieve him of his
sufferings. Prior to death Mr..
Holgren became almost totally
blind and it was with difficulty
that he was able to get about for
some time prior to his death.
The funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon from the
Norwegian Lutheran church and
interment was in the city ceme-
tary.
Mr.. Holgren came to this city
with his family many years ago.
He was an old and respected
resident. He is survived by a
wife and two sons, Ernest, re-
siding in the west and Charles,
residing in New York City. The
relatives have the sympathy of
the community in their bereave'
ment.
