Some More Horse
Rustling Uncovered

Sheriff Anderson Of Perkins
county and Sheriff Sticken of
Adams county have been busy
this week working on the disI
appearance Of quite a bunch of
horses which were missed about
.a year ago. AS a result of their
work, Sam Moses was taken To
the North Western Ranch, which
is located about ID miles north-
west Of Hettinger, and there
positively identified two horses,
as being his property.
Deputy Sheriff Axtell was sent
in pursuit Of Dan Sears who was
taken from the train at Mobridge
Tuesday evening. 1t was known
that Sears was in Hettinger on
Tuesday but he evidently got
wind Of the action of the two
sheriffs and attempted to beat
out of the country.
1t is quite certain that still
more arrests will be made yet
this week as the officials are quite
certain that others are interested
with Sears.

Some Base Ball
The Past Week

The past week was a tough
Ine for the local fans, since they
saw their favorites in base ball
&rcles bite the dust three differ
ent times. The first bitter dose
came when the scrubs went up
against the County Seat bunch
and lost 10 the tune of 9 to 5. On
account Of it being on Saturday,
many Of the regular team could
not play, SO Manager Borresen
did the best he could with players
selected from the various teams.
L. the second inning Joe Berg
Ium relieved Ross who started
1.-THE, game for the locals but was
l hit quite freely. Joe held them
pret y good and from the second
inf i2g on the game was pretty
IL s. fIawep par, the locals had
trouble in locating the ball when
at bat, and this slight difficulty
enabled the Court House Rats,
to take home the bacon.
The second game of hard luck
struck us when the Joy Riders
took on the Spring Butte team
Sunday. With comparative ease
the Joy Riders" walked right
away with the Spring Butte
aggregation and in the beginning
of the ninth inning had the game
9 to 3 in their favor However,
the ease with which they gather
ed in the runs, made them as
well as the umpires somewhat
careless, and something be-
gan to happen in the first half of
the ninth inning, that kept on
happening until the score sheet
showed 10 to 9 in favor of the
visitors. 1t was one Of the most
laughable situations that a team
ever got into. And the way they
bumped themselves to extricate
themselves from their dilemma
was not slow. However, the
thing was done and so it remain
ed to the end.
While all this was happening,
the Giants were humping into a
bunch of hard luck at Mobridge.
where they were engaged with
the river rats. From all accounts
the game was errorless and only
for the luck in placing hits
would and should have resulted
in a tie game.
