Elton Werner Mesick, oldest son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. III. u. Mesick, late

at his parents home in Forest City,
S. d., Friday, March 9, 1917. at
2:15 in the afternoon. Elton had
been a sufferer from tuberculosis
for year and a half. His parents
moved to Forest City over year
ago in order that the boy might
have the benefit of the open coun-
try air and the treatments which Ge
could receive from the hospital at
the Agency. His death did not
come as a surprise as his parents
had feared for some time that he
had not long to live.
The deceased was born at Prince
ton, Green Lake county, Wiscon-
sin, Aug. %, 1900. He came with
his parents to Potter county i'm
March 1902 where he has since
lived. Elton was a kind. afec-
tionate and obedient boy and made
friends with all who knew him.
He will be greatly missed in the
home and the community. The
sorrowing friends have the sympa
thy of all. In addition to- his par
ents, two sisters are left. Ethel and
Ruth. A brother died twelve
years ago.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. j w. A. Collins in the NJ i.
E church in Gettysburg at 2oclock
Tuesday afternoon and the body
laid to rest in the Gettysburg Gem
etery.

Bismarck Takes
TWO Fast Games
From HuLLidnu

Honors are now even between the
Halliday and Bismarck teams, the
latter team defeating the fast north
line aggregation two games last Sat-
urday and Sunday on the Bismarck
dlamond. Two weeks ago Halliday
deteate Bismarck in two games at
Halliday, and this time the tables
are turned with n shut-out game
credited to Bismarck.
According to the sporting editor of
the Bismarck Tribune the more recent
games were wonderful exhibitions of
baseball and about 14OO fans witness
ed the games. In Saturdays game
Farmer and Wasem formed the bat
terry for Halliday, and Grant and Pea
cock performed, for Bismarck. This
game resulted in a score of 5 to a in
Bismarck's favor.
In Sundays game Gardner and FL
lis formed the battery for Halliday
and Goldrick and Peacock for Bis
marck. This was a shut-out game,
Bismarck scoring three runs in the
first inning.
Dickinson people r very much in
terested in Halliday's strong team this
season as practically the complete
lineup formed Dickinson's team two
years ago. The lineup follows: M.
Pippin, ID; Ellis, c; J.. Robinson, 3b;
Wasem, CT; Hall, 2b; F. Robinson, IS;
r. Pippin, IF; Farmer, If; Gardner, p.
Games of nor than ordinary in
terest will be played on the New Eng
land diamond next Saturday and Sun
day, when the Halliday team will
make an effort to resume its winning
streak. Halliday defeated New Eng
land two straight games this season
and the New Englanders claim that
they will take the next two, Bismarck
setting the example. It is more than
probable that Gardner, one time pride
of the local fans, and Northrop, who
has also pitched for Dickinson, will
be worked against each other on the
mound. They are considered to be
the best pitchers in this section of the
state, and the contest will be watched
with a great deal of interest. Two
Dickinson boys will play with the New
Englanders, Kronschnable and Pippin.
@. Roberts, who has been playing
second base is now with Co. K at Fl.
Lincoln.
Quite a number of local baseball
fans will attend these games.
