The Luther College basket ball
team demonstrated it's superiority
over the Keewatin Institute team

a score of 70 to 2. The visitors were
altogether too easy to make even

her.
Next Monday evening at eight o.

route 8 and Ole T. Hauge loses his

to put up mail boxes and aver they
will get their mail from the Ossian

Hunters Killed Yearling Heifer.

Philip Falck, of Bluffton town
ship, was in the city yesterday and
he tells us that hunters killed fine
yearling calf for him Sunday The
calf was shot behind the shoulder,
and managed to get from the field
into the barn, where it died the next
morning. With almost 1000 hunting
licenses issued in Winneshiek coun-
ty this year, it behooves all to be
very careful how they handle their
fire arms on the farms of the county.
A wearing heifer is worth some
money, and it is quite loss to Mr..
Falck.

Tommy Atkins. the professional

find his counterpart for you within
