AupuBoN RoRREp on GAME

The local base ball team went to
Elkhorn last Sunday and in the after
noon played game of ball with the
Elkhorn team. With the assistance
of Hansen, the Elkhorn umpire, our
team met defeat by score of to q.
According to local fans present, the
majority of his decisions were rank
and one in particular, when Finney,
catcher for Audubon caught an Elk
horn runner several feet from the
home plate, he called him safe. This
decision caused howl from the Aud
ubonites and even the Elkhorn peO-
pie and players censured the umpire
for this decision. With . audubon
runners on base he would invariably
call balls strikes on our players and
finally became so brazen that he was
put out entirely and DR.. p. f. James
was called to finish the game. All
the Audubon players played good
ball with the exception of pitcher

HAS RETURNED
FROM DENMARK
Is Compelled to Ferry Across River
TO Sweden to Escape The Police
Officers of Denmark

Escaping by night in a small boat
to Sweden, c. e. Born, the Council
Bluffs tailor, returned Sunday from
summer visit to his native land OF
Denmark. where he had extreme diff
ficulty in avoiding service in the Dan
ish army mobilizing for poss-
ible fight with her old enemy. Ger
many.
Mr. Born declares that the people
of Denmark have not at all forgotten
their old grudge against the Germans
for taking Schleswig- Holstein from
them In 1864 and are now eager to
take up arms and repay what they
can of the old debt. They want that
territory back again.
Mr.. Born being a reservist of the
Danish army and therefore subject
to the call to arms had quite mar
row and thrilling escape from the
only too glad to have secured him
and forced him to enter the army.
Under cover of darkness MIR. Born
was ferried by an old sailor across
from Helsingar. Denmark, to Hell
singborg, Sweden, where the police
officers had no authority over him.
From Helsingborg Mr.. Born took the
train for Christiania, from where he
sailed two weeks ago Saturday for
America.
Mr.. Born says that the war is af-
fecting finances and prices materially
in Denmark.
The war tripled the price of coal
and is also sending the price of many
other articles sky high. Gold and
silver there is now the main ex-
change. just as it is in many of the
other European nations.
In one restaurant where Mr.. Born
proffered FIVE krone bill in pay
ment for meal II was refused and
his overcoat was held while he went
out and got the bill changed into a
form of currency which they would
accept and then the bill brought only
about four krones.

mond in two games of base ball. one
