An Old Timer

With the "Married in Haste
show last Tuesday night in the
opera house, was Tom Lennon,
who is well known to number
Of the old residents of Milbank,
he having been here some seven
teen years ago and drilled a
local company in the presentation
of Damon and Pythias Among
the star actors of the cast who
are still in Milbank, are
Geo S. Rix and the present
writer. It was shortly after this
effort however, that we severed
our connection with the stage,
and there has been no clamoring
demand for real artistic acting
since that time the pleasure
loving public has had to struggle
along without our appearance
behind the footlights. Lennon 5
friends were all glad to meet him
again and talk over the old times
and wish him the best of good
fortune. He now has his home
in Montana, where he has land
interests.

Famous Base Ball Game
Will be Remembered by the old Base
Ball sports Of the Early Days.


Sisseton Standard:
The following is an account of
game of base ball played be
tween the Milbank and Valley
teams at Wilmot, on July % 1887,
written for the Sisseton Agency
Truth Teller, by a couple of In
dian boys, who witnessed the
game. The item was found in
the files of the Browns Valley
Reporter, of Aug. 18, 1887:
The game was between Browns
Valley and Milbank, on the 22nd
Of July, at Wilmot. The Mil
bank club was doing we'll, but
some of them were not trying to
have good time or enjoy their
game. The Milbank club was
the first took the bat. We just
think how we'll the Milbank club
doing and see how many score
did they make. First, their catch
er was take the bat and stand at
the home base, but couldn't hit
it, and SO he was out; and then
the pitcher, but it's out again.
we just think that the first base
man was getting mad, and he
took the bat with much sudden
feeling. First he knocked the
ball, but its called out foul, and
he was stand at his base again.
Of course he was think he could
knock the ball as far he could but
it will not SO; did not reach the
first base at all, and they all get
ting skunk through. And then
the Valley club took the bats,
but they only made one score.
Fred Dittes is the man that have
good hand and best catcher
among his partner, and has run
ming too. Will Barrett is the
good hand and best catcher for
the fly, also he was stand at left
field. S. Y. Gordon is the pitch
er, Fred Barrett is catcher, Fred
Dittes is for the first base and
the second baseman was from
beyond the Valley, but he was
doing well. Paul is the third
base. Harry Morris on the right
field, and the short stop was
Horace Bowdre. We enjoy this
two game. We are hoping they
will have played again. Valley
club was bet 500, and SO was
the Milbanll, but the Valley club
was doing Well After the game
was finished all tie money was
going toward the Valley club.
Hoping that the Valley club was
the best player in Roberts Coun-
ty and also We have GOOD time
We've got a horse named Charlie
and a buggy. We were two to-
gether ride on the buggy OF
course We have a pleasant time
on our riding. We just cot back
to the school house 10 o'clock or
a little bit over that and have a
good sleep too.

 WONDERFUL ADVENTURE

All the Nome legislators froEe their faces crossing the portage between KaltaR and Unalakleet and nearly all their dogs played out. The dogs of J. C. Kennedy were particularly all in. At the time, Conrad Breeding says in a letter 10 Gus Borgen, the temperature was 35 below.
 Another wonderful adventure oc- cured when Tom Gaftney's team ran away on the track of a deer. Archie Graham and Deputy Marshal Darrah were travelling with him at the time. Ganfney had started to light his pipe when a reindeer sprang up near the trail. The first team gave chase and Gaffney's also took up the running, The deer kept to the trail stakes with the three teams in full pursuit. For two milec the Gaffney bunch kept it up while their driver hung on helplessly as the sled bumped the bumps. When he got to the road house he was all in.
