six sons, all of whom are interested in
their fathers business. The sons are:

young men from Hayden didn't even
wait to take-er-anything, but as
soon as they reached Phoenix made
their way to the battlefield and put
up a splendid fight. Naturally in
their worn and weary state they lost
the game, but only by two-and
dread to think of playing against
them today OF course, it would
never do for them to suspect that we
fear them in the least but it looks
as uncertain as who's going to be
elected.
There were ever so many people
at Riverside yesterday. l think the
erandstanders not only appreciate the
GOOD game they are always sure OF
seeing. but enjoy the novelty the
