A crOquet game of great severity |
was engaged in this week by several
of the specialists, but Dave Wilson
and j. 4. Moore metaphorically
wiped the floor with such 'sperienced |
players as Capt. Henry Lawson. DR..
j. E. Faulkner, Sawyer Decker and
Dewey Wyrick. The winners lost
only one game out OF four. There
is great rivalry among this group
but it looks like a Willard-Dempsey
affair to such rank outsider as the
editor. However. we say, let 'em
scrap it out. As an impartial news
paper, we cannot afford to play fay-
orites among such bunch of hot
bloods.

forming the operation which was en-
tirely successful. As a consequence
