'sDsad Ball"

The Weirdest play Of the Twilight
Leagues history occurred in the A.
B.-Crests game Tuesday night, when
Kay was hit by a pitched ball. After
Les left for first base the catcher
began looking for the ball, and the
mystery of its disappearance was not
solved until Les, in starting to rub
the sore spot where the ball had
struck, found said ball firmly
wedged into his pocket, where it had
stuck when it hit him. .

Service Dept. of the Red Cross has
confirmed the fact, and another boy
has given his life in the work of the

This Wins

Al. Brown and Joe Falteisek were
fishing together down at ".Powell's
Dam" last evening, AL. using angle
worms and Joe with sucker bait.
Both got a bite at the same time
and, pulling up, found they had
hooked the same trout. With a
double hold on him they had no
trouble making the landing. It was
a big Liberty Brown weighing five
pounds. They took it up to the meat
market, divided it exactly through
the center, and each had ample for a
big trout dinner.
Here rs another: Sherm Krauth
hooked ontoa pound and half trout
but it broke away with a goodly
portion of his leader. Fishing about
81 feet down stream Sherm caught
the same fish, still with hook in it's
mouth and the broken leader dang
ling along with 1T.
All of which is a reminder of the
time when Rosh w. Freeman lost a
fly on trout upstream and on re-
Stunning his casts, caught the same
fish, fly and all.

Herbert Welker was born at Gill
by, Grand Forks Co., N. OAK, Oct.
%, 1889. He came with his parent S
to River Falls in 1891, and here
grew up and went to school.
Hub" was well known among
the young people of the town and
surrounding community and had
many friends who learn of his deaf h
with regret. He was employed at
c. Carisch & Sons Auto shop when
he left to join the army. He enlist
ed from Fort Smelling Nov. IL, 19l7,
in the Motor Repair Corps. He was
later stationed at Camp Meigs,
Washington, D. G., while in this
country and left for France in an
uary, 1918.
His letters home were full of en-
thusiasm and interest in his work.
AS he had been subject to rheums-
tism for the last fifteen years or
more it was not surprising when he
wrote of being in the hospital. He
did not say just what his trouble
was. His last letters written the
latter part of February were cheer
iul and full of hope that he would
be on his way home before very
long. The Home Service Dept.
states that he died March 9Th, 1919,
of bronchial pneumonia. He was
among friends and the kindest OF
care was given him, but he could
not fight the disease.
He was buried March, 1919, with
full military honors, the service be-
ing conducted by the Company
Chaplain, salute was fired, and
the bugler sounded Taps
Hub" will long be remembered
as boy who heard and answered
his country's call.
He is survived by his parents and
sister, Mrs. F. r. Johnson, Of East
Grand Forks, Mimi.
Mrs. Welker received the follow
ing letter from the hospital in which
Herbert was attended during his
last illness.

He was admitted to Base Hospital 79
on January Z. Everything possible
