VIROQUA ISAGAIN VICTOR
WINS FROM RICHLAND CENTER
IN RAGGED GAME-5 TO 6
Two Shut Out Games-La Fargo 5.
Elroy O; Soldiers Grove z, Hills

| Viroqua fans sweat through a raw
ana ragged game of ball ESQ called)
| Sunday, in which our bows were VIC
torious over Richland Center by one
tally-score 5 to 6. They deserved
to lose but so did the other fellows.
The only redeeming feature from the
spectators standpoint was the see
saving of the score and their being
constantly on edge all the way for
fear that something worse would hap
pen.
Helgeson had one of his off DAYS
passing four, hitting two, striking out
only one, and permitting eleven hits.
Nearly every member of the team was
of color at times, but some fiashy
plays were registered. Kuehn got a
nice foul in the second. Tom made a
fine catch in the third. Rabbit made
| d beautiful throw from center in the
eighth. Viroqua filled the bases in
the 7th but could not score. The Gen.
ter's first man up got on every inning
and seven of the nine frames were
hard struggles in which rare good
fortune and some tight playing en-
abled our boys to overcome their err
Tcrs and hold the Center's scores to
five. Their men reached third in all
except one inning. But kindly re-
member, loyal fans, that if our team
played the air-tight brand of ball all
the time which they often exhibit,
they would be playing in Chicago.
We believe Viroqua has the best anna
teur team in the state. The worst
playing Sunday was done by our only
imported man, Williams of Cashton.
Bunny Kuehn got fine ovation as
he stepped to the plate in the first,
and he responded with three-sacker,
scoring on Pats single. Pat scored
on an error. Kuehn singled in the
third. Curtis singled in the fourth.
Then the Center made double play.
Singles by Tom, Pat and Lad Garin,
coupled with the intentional walking
Of Kuehn, Melted three runs in the 5th
Lad made a two base hit in the 18th.
Errors gave Viroqua one score in the
9Th.
Walsh, Sampson tractor pitcher of
GAINESVILLE, threw for Richland Center.
He Intentionally passed two, struck
out four, and was tapped seven times.
He deserved to win his game, but the
support behind him was awful at times.
Coe and Scheiman gave good salts
faction as umpires, Scheiman being
called upon to make at least two heart
breaking close decisions against his
team. We thank you'll
The improvements at the grounds
were much appreciated by the crowd
and players.

! Congressman.
DR.. MacNaughton was born In Lake
Linden. Houghton county. Michigan,
In 1868 aSd is therefore one OF the
Oldest residents OF the Copper Coun-
try He was graduated from the u
niversity OF Michigan Medical Depart
ment In 1892. later attending an east
ern medicar school for t-graduate
work; he has practised his profession
for twenty-eight years, the greater
part OF the time In the Copper Coun-
try; hefis one OF that type OF Ameri-
can manhood. that whenever the coun-
try issues It's call for its man power
to guard and protect 1t and its in
stitutions he has always without hes
itation volunteered his services with
an absolute disregard for individual
fortune or safety and as the hundred
per cent American he Is he has at the
different times OF trouble with other
powers, cast his lot with those OF
younger men OF the land with no hes
itancy or complaint. DR.. MacNaugh-
ton has served in every issue and
campaign that has arisen In the past
twenty-five years and followed "Old
Glory" to Cuba, the Mexican border
and to France; he served in the San
tiago campaign as Brigade Surgeon
in the summer Of 1898. and the fol-
lowing winter in Havana under Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee; In 1916 he served on
the Mexican border as Surgeon OF the
26th u. s. Infantry. After spending
the following winter AT home he was
again ordered out In 1917 and put in
two years service, part OF which time
was in France.
He has been a lifelong Republican
and believer in the politics OF Lin
coin; in 1912 he chose the leadership
OF that sterling symbol of American
ism THEODORE ROOSEVELT and
was Chairman OF the committee that
put Roosevelt over the top in this
District in the memorable campaign.
Dir. MacNaughton's practise as
physician brings him in daily contact
with the working people and they ad-
mire him as leader and as their
unquestioned champion they also
know that during this period OF gov
ermental reconstruction this district
should be represented by man who
has the ability TO deal intelligetly
with the great issues that will come
up for settlement and they know that
he possesses this qualification and
that his principles and manhood are
beyond all question for everything
that this wonderful country's tradi-
tions and institutions stand for-clean
politics, clean government--and that
all men are created equal.

Congressman from this District
Dr. MacNaughton was born In the

he has at all times demonstrated be-
yond all doubt as to where he stood
and he has never sidestepped an inn
portant issue or undertaking as re-
CARDS our politics; his position on
these different questions has often
led to active participation and II has
never been necessary TO use q micro
scope to find the doctors view point;
he has at all times stood upon the
ground OF absolute fairness and JUS
tice to and for the good OF the many
which fact has led to his considerable
following within his own District. He
IS, and. the people have shown their
confidence that he Is, the working
mans stalwart champion.
Last spring the people OF his own
town, without any seeking on his
part, elected him president OF the

time confidence was shown in his
ability along political lines and in the
support he could bring to their cause,
by the Wood committee OF the State

the investigation of the murder of j.

lonely road three miles from here on
the night of December %.
Mr.. Groesbeck came to Mount Glenn

to assist the states attorney, Lynn

V. Nunnelley, city attorney, had been
selected. Mr.. Nunnelley and Mr..
Johnston were elected on opposing po-
litical tickets.
The first act of the attorney gen.
eral upon arrival here was to order a
secret court of inquiry, which, under
Michigan statutes, is empowered to
sit with prerOgatives of a grand jury.
This court, presided over by Justice
of the Peace William F. Sawn, heard
witnesses and may order additional
warrants charging murder.
Up to the present the only murder
warrant Is against Cecil Vester, eight
een-year-old sweetheart Of Lloyd Pre-
vost, young Browns roommate and in
innate.
