Mr.. Talman OF Westlake, came very
near having a destructive fire last
week. A stick of wood having been
left for a short time on top of the
stove In the well house caught fire
and soon the interior OF the building
was ablaze. The men folks being at
the barn help was called just in time
to save all OF the buildings.
The base ball game at Fem was
something Of a farce from the reports
that have reached town, due largely,
1t is said, to the fact that some of
the players lost their poise while pass
ing through wet territory. The Fem
team secured ten scores by the close
of the third inning but by this time
the local team gathered themselves
together and began playing ball run
ming UP eleven scores, but owing to
some mistake the game was declared
a tie IL to II.
Several men OF the town had plan
ned a httle dutch lunch for last Sat-

then had locked both trunk and the
room In which 1t was left thinking 1t
could not get away from two locks be-
fore the appointed hour. but alas
others had keys to the room and the
trunk and contents were removed In a
very short time after the cache had
been made. The following morning the
trunk was found on the tennis court
with the lock rried open. Owing to
the miscawying of plans the gentlemen
were compelled to forego the antici-
pated pleasures OF the evening.
