Lundy's is bringing quite a number OF
the farmers in. in this vicinity. The
bargains were sure good and the sales
were indeed very encouraging. Mr.

special sale.
Mrs. Isaac Marsh and Mrs. T. F.
Coutey drove TO Wallum last Friday to
| visit the Silver Creek farm owned by
Mr.. Isaac Marsh. They had quite a
scare too. After spending some little
| time looking the place over and as
| there is no one living on the place they
proceeded 10 cook their dinner there
before returning home. However.
when on their return and about
mile and half away from the house
they happened to look around and
saw fame shooting hight in the air
! from what they presumed to the house
They were both scared green, and
| nearly upset the rig trying to turn
around to 90 back but they found only
straw stack burning.
Ed Johnson, professional bronco
buster, has new way breaking bad
and vicious bronchos, he ties the
haulter around his foot and the end
Of the rope around the neck of the
promising colt then he proceeds to sit
down and the colt makes bee line
for nowhere in particular At least
that is the way we saw him breaking
them last Sunday. 1t looked to US as
if he was trying to plow the inside OF
the barn on his left ear and the place
he uses to sit on. When we asked
him if that was the way they broke
bad colts he said the colt was a !
blinkety-blank blank, something. We
left because we did not understand
him
The Valley City Basketball quintet
came to Leal Monday afternoon filed
with confidence and enthusiasm ex- !
pecting to simply mop the floor with
Leal. But low and behold, at the end /,
of the skirmish the score was Leal II, |
Valley City IS. 1t was surely brok- |,
en- hearted bunch that went back to |,
Valley City that evening And even |
in spite of the fact that one Tommy !
Nelson, one of our own fellows de- |
serted our ranks and cheered himself |
hoarse for Valley City But his ef-
forts proved futile however, and the
results OF his reasonable act caused |
him a great deal of embarrassment,
not only through the fact that Valley
was beaten but also he suffered thru
a process of kangaroo court which
passed the following sentence: He
was to be dealt with according to the
best available means, the Leal boys
had at hand. They therefore waylaid
Tommy and sacked him, that is they
secured a grain sack and as Tommy
does not exceed 100 pounds in weight
it was an easy matter for the boys to
ram him in the sack and tie him in it.
The sounds issuing from said sack
were not of very cheering kind and
hereafter Tommy will refrain from
taking upon himself the task of boost
ing any outside aggregation which may
see fit to tackle our speedy boys in
any kind of basket or base ball. Poor,
Tommy he was not only sacked but
kissed by the bunch. Wow!
