With the filing Of the petitions

in fence corners, on plow handles, or
on street cars. One woman told of
climbing roof to get the signatures

A very remarkable game Of base
tall from which time no doubt, will
be dated In future generations, was
staged at Meacham Sunday, Aug 2,
in which Kamela scored 80 runs and
Meacham !. The predominating fea-
lures of the game were the phenOm-
cnal long hits and numerous home
runs made by "the knights Of the
rail'' from Kamela and the many err
rors and the lack Of baseball judg-
ment displayed by the timber beasts"
Of Meacham.
During the game one of the Ka-
mela invincibles. Home Run Weise, -
hated high foul into close proxim-
ity to the lemonade stand which was
presided over by ex-Umpire Hawse,
creating much havoc and causing Mr.
Hawse to retreat on the double quick

the edge Of which his establishment
was located. He seemed to be under
the impression from the start Of the
game that Mexico had declared war.

of Jesse Joplin, accused of the murder
