DENiSoN FAILS TO WIN
High School Basket Ball Team Played
At Ames Friday, Eagle Grove Be-
ing Their Opponents.

The high school basket ball team
went down to Ames Friday, where
they took part in the northwest divis-
ional high school tournament in which
eight teams battled for supremacy on
Friday and Saturday. While the Den
ison boys have been playing winning
games throughout the season, they
were brought into competition with
one of the best teams in the state, and
while they played fast and furious
game, they were unable to w:n. Fri
day evening the Denison team played
Eagle Groves strong five and it was a
spirited contest from start to finish.
Students at the Ames college favored
| the Denison team and created lots of
amusement by cheering for the losing
team.
Our boys were in fine trim for the
contest and had been ably coached by
Prof. Albert Weiss, who has taken
great pride in the local team. For a
time it looked as though it would be
Denisons game, but it was soon ap-
parent they were up against a strong
err team VanNess made two goals,
Boslough five, Kuehnle one and Nc
Henry one, and in all they ran up 20
points against Eagle Groves SO. Our
boys are to be congratulated on the
fine showing they made Friday eve
ming and while they were not winners,
they put up an excellent exhibition of
basket ball.
The following high school boys made
up the team: Van Ness, r. F.; Bos-
Tough, L. F.; kuehnle, Center; Collins,
l.. G.; McHenry, R. G.
MI. George Menagh came up from
Omaha yesterday for a visit with his
sons here.
Work was again resumed on the new
federal building on Monday OF this
week, and the interior OF the building
is now being plastered. The superin
tendent informs US that he expects to
have the building completed at the
time the contract calls for, nOtwith-
standing the fact that there has been
a delay because the government did
not accept the sample of sand to be
used in plastering. We understand the
government has finally accepted the
sand and that work will be pushed
from now on as rapidly as possible.
C. C. Kemming has on display in the
show windows of his clothing store
an interesting group of photographs
which were sent to him by Frank
Clough of Tucumcari, New Mexico.
The display is attracting considerable
attention and consists of views along
the Mexican border showing General
Villa, battle scenes and Mexican sol
diers. They are all real photographs
and were collected by Mr.. Clough who
is we'll known to number of Denison
people.
Mr.. Chas. Gosswiler, who moved to
near Sac City from south OF Coon
Grove in this county, was on our
streets the early part Of the week He
reports himself very much pleased
with his new farm and particularly
with his neighbors, who have been
very kind to him and the family. They
formed bee and came with wagons
and transferred all his belongings out
to the farm in few hours from Sac
City, and took special pains to make
him welcome. We call attention to this
fact as an example OF what COM
munity should do for incoming strang-
ers.
Word reached Denison last week
from Clarinda that Mr.. Daniel Bahr,
one of the pioneer residents Of Craw-

Crawford county in the early days and
with his family settled on a farm
northeast of Denison, where he resid-
ed for a number of years, later NOV
ing to Denison. Some few years ago
he suffered with breakdown and was
taken to Clarinda for treatment at the
state institution. His wife left Den
ison and has been making her home
with a married daughter at Bloomfield,
Neb. The body was shipped to Bloom
field, where the funeral services were
held
