CROSBY DEFEATS LITTLE FALLS
BALL TEAM TO 8 IN RAG-
GED GAME

Due to the inclemency Of the wealth

treatment of the umpire, the local base
ball team tasted defeat for the first
time Sunday at the hands Of Crosby,
at Crosby. Score to 6. Many errors
were made during the. game some OF
them boding great ill for the locals. AS
is the custom the locals knocked the
first pitcher out Of the box, he retiring
in the eighth on account Of the terrible
onslaught by the local sluggers.

moved up here and we have had some
very exciting times. l had the pleasure
OF going up the other day and about 10

three holes in my basket. but l was
gone before he did it. Over the top

BABES PHOTO FOUND
ON BATTLE FIELD
Returned to Sioux Falls BY the
Finder-Child's Father and
Uncle In War.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 7.-There has
been sent to the Sioux Fails CONNER
cial club from France the photograph
Of a Sioux Falls baby. The photo was
picked up on the Verdun battlefield a
few weeks ago. The baby is the child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Houts, of Sioux
Falls. The mother and babe are spend
ing the winter at Oakland, Cal. while
Daddy is serving with the American
forces in France.
Just how the photograph got to the
place where found on the battlefield
yet is unexplained. The officer who
found 1T was Lieut.. Thos. f. Cooney, of
a headquarters company. He found the
name of a Sioux Falls photographer on
the picture, as we'll as the baby's name.
and sent 1T with a letter to the Sioux
Falls Commercial club, in the hope that
1t might be returned to it's rightful
owner.
Last September, before going TO
California, the mother took the baby
to the photographers and then e
print each to the father and to
Ollie Cannon, an uncle, who also is in
France. AS Houts, according to let
tiers, has not been at the front, but is
back of the lines. and Cannon, when
he wrote last October 10, was in the
front trenches. 1t is probable that the
photograph was lost by the latter dur
ing the excitement of the battle.
Joseph Houts, the father of the baby,
left with the June draft from Sioux
Falls and vent across in September.
The uncle, Ollie Cannon, enlisted in
Sioux Falls, October 13, 1917, went to
Fort Leavenworth. Kan, and in March
or this year went to France with other
american soldiers. In June he went to
the front. He is a member of head
quarters company, Goth infantry, and
when last heard from was driving an
auto for a colonel.

suffer from backache, dragging sensa-

they will be told to take a Favorite Pre-

RAPID CITY SOLDIER
BOY IS BACK HOME
Wears French Decoration For
Unusual Heroism While
In Action.

Rapid City. S. D., Dec. 6.-with a
croix de guerre pinned on his breast
and 16 months service with the aero
squadron in France. Captain Russell
HALEY has returned as the hero of
Rapid City. He is the son Of James
HALEY, of this city, a Black Hills
Yoneer n the founder of the Rapid
City National bank.
Captain HALEY was decorated by the
French government for unusual hero
ism while flying over the German
lines on a bombing expedition. The
six allied planes Of the party were sur
rounded by 20 Boche machines, three
OF which swooped down toward the
plane which Captain HALEY was pilot
ing. The first of the enemy did no
damage other than sending a few bull
lets through Halley's machine. The
second attacker, however, did more eff
fective work, and after its volley of
bullets HALEY found that his French
gunner had been wounded and had
fallen across the %aerelons of the ma
chine. making its control extremely
difficult.
About this time Captain Halley's
regular gunner, flying in another ma
chine, saw his plight and went to help
him. He managed to send the attack
ing plane down in flames. Three more
German planes were destroyed before
the allied squadron returned to its
linea.

Experiments made in the training of
dogs as messengers with the armies in
the Held during the war gave satisfac-
tory results. The dogs which have
proved most receptive under instruc-
ton are chiefly half bred collies and re-
trievers. A rather poor breed Of bob
tailed sheepdogs has also done we'll.
All have been trained t perform their

rifles and guns. They could be fired

dog, and what is quite another thing
they would face fire at close RANGE.
