AUDUBON TEAM
Is A WINNER
PROVE VICTORS IN FIRST CON-
TEST ON DIAMOND In GAME
WITH BRAYTON TEAM

Brayton came to Audubon Sunday
afternoon for the opening base ball
game with the locals. They arrived
here about four o'clock and by ago
the game was started after some fine
music by the Audubon Cornet Band,
who so willingly gave of their time,
was furnished for the players and
spectators. A fair sized crowd of
fans were present, many ladies being
in attendance to help boost for the
home team The scoring for Audi
bon started when Kaufman, Short
stop hit three-bagger, bringing in
two runs and was himself left at Bird.
Brayton was unable to make a run
and the game was won by Audubon,
the score being to 0. Brayton
played good ball, but was unable to
cope with our boys, as our team has
been practicing faithfully for this
game and expect to be in better trim
for next Sundays game with the
crack team from Elkhorn, who al
ways give good account of them
selves on the diamond. The battery
for Audubon. Shupe and Kline did fine
work. especially after Tom got his
wing warmed up. He pitched no.
run, no-hit game. All the boys did
credit for the first game. The game
was Clearly contested and the spec
tators gentlemanly and ladylike in
every manner. Next Sunday 1t is
expected to have the grandstand and
bleacher seats placed and the players
arrayed in their spick and span new
uniforms.
The following is the lineup and
score:

CONDITION AFTER OPERATION

H. w. Wilson, who submitted to q
surgical operation at the Methodist
hospital In Des Moines Tuesday 10 In
o serious condition. He had been
ailing for sometime past and Q sur
gical operation seemed the only
thing that offered any relief. Mr..
Wilson felt quite strong and was
anxious to undergo the ordeal.
The operation was successful from
q surgical viewpoint. but the patient
Is suffering considerably. Howev-
or, he recovered very nicely from the
anaesthetic and the attending ply
sicians were hopeful that he would
ultimately recover. A message
from the sick room this morning was
to the effect that he had put In q
bad day yesterday. but he had rest
ed some during the night which was
an indication that there was an Inn
provement in hiC condition.
Mr.. Wilson Is one of the grand
old men Of Audubon. He has held
many positions of trust In the COM
munity. and his numerous friends
are very solicitious for his welfare.
All trust that the operation will
prove as beneficial - everyone had
hoped for. and that he will return
home In much better health.

YEAR AND WAS RETURNING
HOME WITH REGIMENT

Word was received in Audubon
Monday morning announcing the
death of Private Lauritz Larsen,
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Christian
Larsen, who reside eight miles west
of Audubon, near the Spring Valley
school house. The message was
sent to Mr.. Larsen and asked IL any
of the relatives would come for the
body. An answer was sent to the
war department and a telegram in
reply yesterday gave some of the de-
tails of his death.
1t seems that Lauritz had been af-
fiicted with boils before leaving
home he was not feeling very we'll.
During the voyage he developed
blood poisoning from the effects Of
which he died while in mid-ocean.
AS soon as the ship landed at New
port News. Va, word was sent to his
parents, but it did not reach Audi
bon until Monday.
Private Larsen left here last June.
going to Camp Dodge where he re-
NAMED but a short time when he
was sent overseas, landing in France
early in August. He had been at
the front and was either gassed or
wounded in battle, for he wrote
home that he had been at the hospi-
tai and had Just returned to the
front when the armistice was sign
ed. His parents understood that
he was In the best Of health, and
they were delighted to know that he
was in his way home. as he was a
member OF Co. L. 351st infantry,
SSth Division which is now in the
United States.
The news of his death comes as a
sad blow to his parents. He was
the eldest of eight children, four
sisters. and three brothers, who
with the bereaved parents survive
him.

dubon by the government and will
be escorted home by one of the
members Of his company. 1t Is not

ments can be made.

oBsERyE MEMoRIAL DAY

1t was somewhat of pleasure to
the local authorities and public in
general that the Audubon ball team
management decided not to desc
crate Decoration Day, May 80, 1919.
1t was suggested by some that a base
ball game May 30th would have been
good noney-making proposition.
But to the committee the day was
not to be one Of base ball and aero
baltic stunts. 1t is apparent that in
postponing the game for another
time. their thought was Of hoecy1pg
the nations heroic dead
Most surely they have reAd and
never forgotten the story of the grim
and terrible battles which left the
field of confiict covered with the
slain. This is the day on which the
whole nation bares its head and with
flowers and tender memories visits
the graves where our heroes lie.
This Is the day on which every true
American dedieates himself anew to
the ideals to Which they died to
maintain. sse-l 1899
Decoration Day becomes more sac
red to the American people a. the
years pass on. For all American

shall cling the fadeless glories won
by all our nations heroes on all our
battlefields from Bunker Hill to the
Argonne Wood and Chateau Thierry.
Decoration Day can never be a day
of frolic and hilarity. For the
American people 1t is forever sacred
to the memory of those who pur-
chased by their sacrifice the priceless
liberty we possess. For the sake OF
the honored dead, and the sake Of
those whose hearts still ache, 1t will
be better to postpone 10 another
day than that OF Decoration Day pro-
grams consisting Of sport events We
have heard many favorable COM
ments upon the action taken by the

Fred and Chris Chritoffersen and
Niels and Peter Mortensen went to
Fort Des Moines last Friday to visit
with Peter Christoffersen, a nephew
of the Chritoffersens. Peter Chris
jefferson was wounded in France,

Finally the Americans advanced and
he was found and taken to q hospital
where he was treated for two
months. WsThere was no hope Of saw

regret is that he got his so soon as
he would have liked to have been In
little longer before being laid up.
Before he, entered the service. he was
working at the Joe Elmquist farm
near Sharon. He expects to come
here for 4 viist some time this week.

bon next term. Several will not re-
turn, as some Of them have received
positions elsewhere with larger SAL
aries and one, probably two will take
up the more responsible duties sof
life In the near future, not waiting
for school to reopen again. It IL
with regret that the patrons and pu-
pills learn of the several teachers not
returning, but will wish for them
them the best of luck wherever they
cast their lot.
Following is the list of teachers
and where they go: Miss Edith
Denney, to Grimes, Ia, will return;
Miss Jeanette Rodgers, Massena,
Ia, to be married this month; Miss
Eleanor Weisbr0d, Fenton, Ia, will
return; Miss Margaret Norman.

elsewhere. Miss Florence Myers re-
NAMED for an over Sunday visit
with friends, leaving for her home ct
Dexter Monday morning. She ex-
poets to return to Audubon next
year.
The teachers, both local and those
from away, were the best corps OF
teachers that have ever taught In
Audubon. We can truthfully say
they were the most obliging ones to
interview, as was Supt. McIntire. re-
garding their coming and going ON
visits or any other item of interest

w0RLD's CHAMPION GRAPPLER
FROM SERVICE IN
SsAe ARMY IN FRANCE

M farl Caddock. worlds champion
lwfeatler and recently with the Am.
berican forces In France, passed thru
Anita Friday on his way from New
IYork to Walnut where he will Join
his wife and infant son. The Cass
lcopnty man was greeted by few
friends there who happened to be at
ltAe station when the train pulled in.
M HIS friends learned two things
from the champion during the brief
tetQp in Anita. One was that he
/ vas gassed while in France and the
lother that he will defend his title as
| eCon as he can get In condition.
The first concern of the champion
was to reach Walnut and see his
family. He has son whom he has
|never seen. This Is Earl, Jr., born
while the father was In France.
Mrs. Caddock has been staying with
her parents In Walnut during the
time her husband was overseas.
Caddock's appearance would not
carry the assumption that he was In
prime condition. He looked tired
and showed the effects Of his recent
illness. The dose of gas which he
got did not help him any, though he
is practically recovered from its eff
fects.
The dose Of phosgene gas, and
here we will explain that 1t was be-
pion announced. In France that he

that Q Green Cross shell exploded

Caddock has made no concrete
plans. other than that he plans a
long rest before he tries TO get In
