from up the Hudson hit the ball hard

only three hits. and these were scattered
over as many innings On the other
hand the soldier boys landed on Vinson,
veteran Of the Navy aggregation, for a
total of twelve safeties. including home
run and two three-baggers. This was
Wilson's fourth and last season as a
member of the Navy nine, as he will be
graduated next week, and his one ambi-
ton was to finish his base ball career
at the academy with a victory over the
rival West Pointers. Today's game was
the thirteenth of the series between the
two service institutions and the result
gives the Army total OF ten wins
against three by the Navy.
Though the Soldiers were credited with
six miscues. Neyland was given excellent
support, especially in the pinches. West
Point got off to a splendid start, tallying
three runs in the opening session. and
was master of the situation ever after

Brings With Him More Settlers
For RichfieIe Tract

Farmer Bill' Parkhurst returned
Wednesday morning bringing with him
Clyde M. Grastorf, from Bartlesville,
Oklahoma, who came to investigate for
himself and bunch of friends.
After trip over the tract and visit
to the Magic Dam, Mr.. Grastorf bought
80 acres of land four miles west of Rich
field. He says the country and con-
ditions are so far ahead of what he ex-
pected to find that he wants to hurry
home to tell his friends to get move
on them for Richfeld and the land Of
sunshine and push.
Arthur Nelson, son of Col. w. H.
Nelson of Smith Center, Kansas, ---who
was here with Mr.. Parkhurst last trip
handed his check to "BilP' to file on
120 acres.
DR.. A. Buckner dentist, also sent
his check to file on 40 acres. The Doctor
and his wife will move to Richfield in
the spring and open an Office. Richfield
will then have frst-class dentist.
Several other parties requested Mr..
Parkhurst to secure 40-acre tracts for
them. In speaking of conditions in the
East Farmer Bill' says, there is a
very optimistic feeling throughout the
middle West that there is move of
prosperity in store for this country that
will set things humming.

STORE ROBBED
Richficld Has Second Robbery
In Month.

The H. M. Moore & Company drug
store was burglarized Thursday night.
The glass in the back door was broken
which enabled them to unlock the door
and have easy access to the building.
1t is thought to be some one with some
knowledge of drugs as they took about
$50 worth of dugs besides the money in
the cash register which contained about
So dollars in cash. From the kinds of
drugs that were taken it leads to the
belief that it might have been = dope
fiend that committed the burglary. The
store burns all the electric lights until
midnight so it was probably done in
the latter part of the night. The Saloon
was also robbed and almost in the same
manner. 1t was entered through the
transom of the rear door. No clue has
yet been found in either case that might
lead to the discovery Of the real robbsr
