Broughton, encountered his old sweet
heart. The guests laughingly made
ring around them and the two, after
an uncomfortable moment, shook
hands. In that moment all resentment
died out OF Dams heart, and he de-
termined to make more OF himself so
that he could some day hope to win
her again.
Dams story was known to every
one. He had secured place in the
Phoenix Insurance company, and now,
at twenty-nine, was already assistant
manager, drawing some three thou
sand dollars. II had been meteoric

They had both planned to leave by
an early train the following morning
Dan had perforce the task IF seeing
Miss Brcughton aboard. When the
train had started, and North End was
only a memory, the girl turned to him
and said:

Lizzie, and life without her had be- |

name in flaming letters outside the
alter. Miss Broughton was the new
star. She had arrived.
He saw this in the lunch hour, and
after his return the manager sent for
him.

His one impulse was to run and tell
Lizzie.
But it is not the easiest thing in the

to stammer out his story.

Sioux City Man Coming
Here in the Spring
Expects to Begin Work on
$50 acre Tract on an
Extensive Scale.

Fritz Rentchler of Sioux City
Iowa, who years ago purchased
an $50 acre tract of land in the
vicinity of Bigelow's head
quarters on the Northern Pacific
Railway, was in the city during
the past week with his wife
looking over the country.
Mr.. Rentchler is entirely
satisfied with his purchase and
every time he makes a visit to
this city and country he likes it
better. Upon his visit during
the past week he informed a
reporter of The Times that it
was his intention to come here
in the spring and begin active
work in devevoping his tract of
land into a modern farm.
Mr.. Rentchler is a farmer of
long years experience. He now
owns and operates a large farm
in Iowa, but it is his intention to
rent the Iowa property and to
come here and develop his farm
near this city. He will have
with him his son who is also an
experienced farmer and when
the two begin active work we
can expect to see a fine property
opened up.
Mr.. Rentchler is a man of con-
siderable means and he will
develop his farm under scientific
methods, The Iowa man will be
a valuable addition to the city
and farming community and the
people of this North Wisconsin
will extend the hand of welcome.

Enjoyed Big Clam Bake

About forty.five people from
this city enjoyed a clam bake
held at the home OF the Bodln
Brothers at Houghton on Sun
day afternoon of this week. the
dinner having been prepared by
the Bodins. The refreshment
part of the program was simply
grand and the way the boys
went after the "eats" was sim.
ply astonishing.
The afternoon was spent at
the Bodin home and to say that
a good time was enjoyed by all
is putting it mildly. For royal
entertainers the Bodins are
hard to beat.

Robbed the Place

The pool and billiard hall
owned by Emil Scantland was
burglarized on Thurday evening

which was in cash and the bal.
ance in goods. Entrance to the
building was gained by remov-
ing Stats which held the window
in place.
Mr.. Scantland and the police
are of the opinion that the burg
larry was committed by someone
who was familiar with the place.

ties and arrests are expected to
follow in the course of the next
few days.

city conducted services at
Four Mile Greek and the atten-

WaShburn Nine Takes An
other Close Game
Home Run in Last Inning
WonAGame for Local
Aggregation. A

The F. T. Beers base ball club
of this city have been playing
real league base ball during the
past three or four weeks and
another fine exhibition e the
national game was pulled.of in
this city last Sunday afternoon
when the Rowells of Duluth
were taken into camp by the
local nine in one of the closest
games of the season.
The teams were about evenly
matched and for eight innings
the game went along without a
score being made by either side.
In Duluth's first half of the
ninth inning one score was made
and when Washburn came to
bat things did not look over en-
couraging. The first man up
was walked to first when Ennis,
catcher went to bat and landed
out a home run, the ball going
over the center field fence,
scoring the two men and ending
the game.
1t was as pretty a hit as had
been seen on the grounds this
season and the fans fairly went
wild for it meant to the team
another victory.
The Beers boys have certainly
been playing fine article of
base ball during the past few
weeks and they have been given
excellent support by the Wash
burn fans. Next Sunday the
team will journey to Mellen
where they will play the team
from that city and on Labor Day
they will meet the Bayfield, team
at Bayfield,.
