An Exciting Moment.

Ellsworth News: There was con-
siderable excitement in the o. G.
Nelson garage Tuesday night at
about 1870.
Several of the boys from here had
been to Webster City and came home
on the late train. In the lumber
was E. J. Harmon, who had left his
car at the Nelson garage. He went
into the garage, lighted the lamps
and threw the match on the floor.
The floor is of solid concrete and he
had no idea but what everything
was fire proof. But one of the valves
bad been leaking and small pool
of gasoline lay under the car. The
burning match ignited the gas and
in ten seconds the entire front end
of his car was seething mass Of
flames.
There were fourteen cars in the
garage and the first thing the boys
thought of was to run the cars out.
One Of them, Hans Olson, got in to
do the steering, but the temperature
had reached point where Hans
couldn't stand the heat so he climb
ed out. But they managed to get
the car out and by that time the oil
had all burned off. One of the tires
was partially melted, the electric
wires were burned off and they sue
ceeded in getting the blaze down to
where they could handle it.
While there was considerable ex-
element for a few minutes-and
good reasons for 1.-THE damage was
very slight compared with what it
might have been.

A delicious four course luncheon
was served at one O'Clock. The
guests were directed to their places

brought a large box to the guest of
honor and told her to see what love-

her. Upon investigation the box
was found to be another nest and,
underneath the eggs, were packages
of all sizes and descriptions, wrap
ped in dainty yellow paper. These
contained wooden utensils of all
kinds and much merriment was Gre

ped the various packages. The at

CANADIAN TEAM STRONG
Powell and Schwengers Play
Clever Lawn Tennis.

Chicago. July Local lawn tennis
experts, after watching the practice of
the Canadian team which will play the
Australian team in the doubles of the
Davis Cup tournament at Lake Forest
next week, rate it as a strong combl-
nation.
R. R. Powell and B. p. Schwengers,
Canadas representatives,, play entirely
different games. but their tactics are
well suited to the doubles combination.
Powell, trained in the English sys-
TEN. relies upon placing and accuracy
in his strokes rather than upon smash
ing, and plays from the back court
most of the time.
Playing what he calls American
lawn tennis, and what has become IA
miliar IN the East as the Pacific Coast
style. made famous by Maurice Nc
Loughlin, SchwengerS's game Is the
antithesis of PowelPs. He speciallzes
IN playing close TO the net, where his
smashing style makes him terror.
