There were numerous other men
who played with the team during the
season, but this bunch constitutes
those who played nearly every game.
The season was most decidedly a
financial failure, due in great respect
to the rainy weather, no less than
eight Sunday games, scheduled for
this city, having to be postponed, in
Guiding Decoration Day and July 4th.
An analysis of the pitching dished
out by Buck Johnson during the sea.
son gives some interesting facts. He
pitched total of SO 1-3 innings, or
nearly eleven full games. In that
time he allowed 81 hits, or an aver
age OF 5.5 per game; 80 runs were
scored against him, an average of 80
to the game, but of these, but IL
were earned runs. He famed 90 men,
averaging 8.4 to the game and gave
16 base on balls. His extreme wild
ness is shown in the fact that four
teen men were given q base on ac-
count of being hit by pitched ball.
This was not all his fault, however, as
many made no effort to get out of
the way Of the ball. This was espec-
tally noticeable in: the game with the
Cops, when the fat boys took one in
the side, with no bodily harm.

and secured warrant. Deputy War
ner, in company with Landry, went to
Bird Island in search of the hold-up
artist. They found him without much
difficulty in a saloon and placed him
under arrest. The day following he
was arraigned in Justice court where
he pleaded guilty to the theft, but
denied having used revolver, say
ing that he took the money while
Landry was asleep. The prisoner, who
answered the name Of Charles Fran

would be left at the Hogan Decorat.
ing Co.'s Office in this city. Neither
Barr or the grip can be located today.
Eek and Barr were sent to Willmar
some time ago where they were as
signed work on q painting contract.
They occupied the same room and. q
week ago Barr made known his inten.
tons of coming to Morris for visit
That evening he emptied the contents
Of Eck's grip onto the floor and left
the following note on the table: 81
will send your grip back by Hogan
I don't want to buy one here as have
one at Benson.-Chas. Barr" Failing
to return on the appointed time Eek
wrote to Mr.. Hogan and instructed
that in settling for Bars services
$3.50 be deducted in settlement fol
the suit case. Mr.. Hogan received
this letter after Barr had put in his
appearance and demanded his pay and
leaving his services. A letter was
addressed to the hotel keeper at Ben
son where Barr had stopped. The re-
ply stated Barr had left NO grip there
and had no grip, valise, suitcase OF
baggage of any kind. All he had was
a small paper package. Barr arrived
in Morris about two months ago and
went to work for the Hogan Decorat
ing Co. Very little is known of him
and he gave out no information con
corning himself. Mr.. Eek has given
up the idea of recovering his suitcase
or of ever seeing Barr again. Should

BY order of the postmaster general,
the postal regulations governing the
insurance of parcels post have been
expanded being effective September
I, 1915. Parcels valued at from $50
to 500 may now be insured and the
fee for insuring parcels in value up
to IS has been placed at three cents.
Twenty-Five cents is named as the fee
for insuring parcels to an amount
not more than $4,000. The order
is effective September first. At
present a fee of five cents is charged

For valuations ranging from IS to $25

The big plate glass window in the

why It was done or who did it is one

though various conjectures including
robbery and spite are put forth as
reasons for the malicious destruction
Of good glass. No further damage was
done and apparently no attempt was
made to gain entrance to the
building by any other method. On the
same night the post Office at Hancock
was robbed and some believe that
robbers intending to make a cleanup

accomplished results and went from
