CHALLENGE ANSWERED.
To the Cedar City Baseball Team.

To the Cedar City Baseball Team.
Your mighty challenge published in
siest weeks Record, in which you make
many statements of your ability to
do things in the future is before US.
Notwithstanding much space is con-
sumed in talk outside of the challenge
it is an interesting and amusing arti-
Gle, especially are we made to smile
at your mention of the two "mitor
events" of the past.
On account of our occupations
which keep our boys out of town most
of the time, we have never been able
to keep baseball team together; ane
that is our condition at present; but
we want to give you that chance, and
if it is possible we will do so.
You ask what kind of noise we are
going to make. Certainly not the
kind contained in your challenge. We
let our work talk. We will come at
you as hard as we can, and if you
play those "rings around us" we know
how to take our medicine.
You will hear from US later.
In behalf of Parowan Baseball.

would be too dangerous. Just how
the accident occurred is not known as
Claud was alone at the time. 1t is

freight train which he was to board

been standing.
