First Bargain Day a Success

Rain, threats of rain, high water or
muddy roads did not stop large
number OF farmers from coming TO
Milbank Wednesday to take advant-
age OF the great bargains offered. A |
OF the residents of the city made the
down town trip once during the da y
ard gathered in some OF the attrac-
tive and tempting bargains displayed. :.
The largest crowd was on the street
in the evening when the Edison phon-
ograph and the Elgin watch were raf-
fed off by PcHhee Of the Economy
store and the Jenson Jewelry store.
The people started coming 10 by
train, auto ard buggy during the
morning and by afternoon the streets
we're crowded. The Sisseton bali team
thru Misunderstanding made the
journey down here. with full eXpecta-
tions OF playing and also taking the
heavy end OF the score home tn

the possible approaches to the q ~
mond were under water and after an
unsuccessful search for ''cow pas

one, the game was called off and viii
be played within the next few weeks.
large number Of the Ssseton fans
mat the trip with them. as we'll as a
good representation from the towns
along the line.
The band stand was built during
the day and the band started to play
about $50 O'Clock. The pavement for
one half block was roped off and
corn meal put on share of it. With
the aid of host of small boys the
corn meal was spread around and
worked into the concrete. Some little
coaxing was needed to get the dancers
started but soon the floor was none
too large. The corn meal made a
fair dancing floor, much better than
the majority Of people thought it
would. Dancing was kept up until
midnight and everyone seemed to
have fine time.
1t is generally conceded that had it
not been for the downpour OF rain for
the past three days which m4de some
of the roads impass ible one of the
largest crowds that has ever been in
the city would have been here for
Pavement day. The bargain days
will be monthly affairs and will un-
ioubtedly attract people from great
distances.

The rains and shower storms OF
the past two weeks. which have
been intermitting with glimpses
Of the sun. settled down to steady
downpnur on Monday of this week
and not until early Wednesday
morning was there a let up. The
low lands of the county are flooded
bridges and approaches va he'd out
and the roads nearly iInpassabie.
The reports of the rain storm
seem to be confined to the valley,
Appleton east Of the county report
ing no rain whatsoever and Aber-
den west of here getting only few
spare sprinkles.
The creek has been swollen over
its banks for the past three days
but is receding at this time. The
bridge over the creek to the fair
grounds was washed out but will
be replaced for the baseball game
today. The water was nearly two
feet deep over the road leading in
to the city from the north on We'd
nesday. Refuse. trees. timber and
drowned animals tioated down the
stream after the big storm.
No damage to the railroad or
telephone system has been reported
altho the railroad bridges were
guar led against q poss be wash
out. Cellars and basemen-s in the
city were flooded with no way to
drain them as the sewer tile could
not take away the water fast
enough. The court house base
ment was flooded and the pump
was worked all day Tuesday and
Tuesday night. Flooded lawns and
small lakes where the garden
should have been were common
sights.
The war; m san and wind since
Wednesday has dried up the roads
so that they are in fair condition
at this time. and many people are
expected to take advantage Of the
nice weather and visit the city to-
day.

Beardsley Q 5 600
Milbank shut out the Beardsley
nine to the tune Of 0 last Sunday
in the fifth game Of the season.
This is the fourth win for the
locals and places them at the head
of the League, with Graceville,
Clinton and Wheaton tied for
second position. Graceville, who
played Wheaton, and Clinton play
ing Ortonville were doped to win.
but upset the calculations and lost,
which gives the Milbank team clear
title to first place.
At no time was the Beardsley
team close to scoring, the whole
team playing loose baseball and un.
able to hit when at bat. Gill col.

six hits, while the locals nicked the

rolling by hit over the second
base, stole second and made home
when Gill hinged out liner over
third. Godfrey made hit and
Calfee drew walk. when Herman

Peschong laid a slow ball down the
third line and beat it out to first,
scoring Calfee. The side was re-
tired when Ma!sed struck out and
ManIey hit fly to left field.
Three scores were added in the
seventh, brought in by Gill. Ker-
nan and Peschong Both Herman
and Peschong collected hits during
the inning.
All Of the teams have now played
one-half Of the scheduled games.
MiIbank has made total Of II
tallies to opponents. Three
games have been shutouts for the
locals. The first game was drop.
ped on the Clinton diamond, due
to the questionable decisions Of the
umpire. The Milbank team played
better ball all thru the game. fans
who witnessed the game and have
cone out of the fray with the large
end of the score. The second game
with the Clinton,tes resulted in a
win for the locals by a score Of 5-4.
A return game will be played with
the Bea, dsley team on their home
grounds next Sunday, Gracev;lle
will come to Milbank the following
Sunday and the game will be a
close one from the tart. Milbank
will meet the Wheaton team on the
home grounds on July 18th and end
the schedule with a game at Ortoo-
Vile on July 18th. Playing the
same brand of baseball the local
team should come out with nine
games to its credit and at the top
of the list.
Clinton met defeat at the hands
of OrtonvilIe by score of Sd on
the Clinton grounds last Sunday.
The Milbank team was the only
team that had won game from
Clintonites and were in favor Of
them. Ortonville was on the skids
going for the cellar, having lost
three games after winning the first
game played. The comeback at
this stage of the game makes the
lakeside city a factor to be con.
sidered and chances are good for
win over Graceville next Sunday.
Wheaton trimmed the Graceville
team by a score to 9.3 springing
surprise as the Graceville team
was chalked up with win.
Milbank is doped to win from
the Beerdsley team next Sunday,
Ortonville may take the game from
Graceville and Clinton from Whea-
ton. If this dope holds. Milhank
will lead, with Clinton second, and
Graceville. Wheaton and Orton-
vile tied for third place.

TOWN GUARDED
BY VIGILANTES
Philadelphia Suburb il
Arms Following Series
OfRobberies.

Armed vigilantes patrol the
streets of Haddon Heights. nea,
Philadelphia, these nights.
At the blast Of a whistle 100 other
vigilantes, who sleep with their re-
volvers and shotguns near by, will
pour from doors and windows. So
the residents of Haddon Heights
after a series of petty robberies and
annoyance from providers, are rest
ing more comfortably at night.
The mayor has sworn In 125 citi-
zens for this emergency. Each
night a group patrols the streets in
addition to the regular police. The
mayor, the president of the council
and councilmen do their bit. The
emergency guards went into service
on Monday.
Early this week Robert B. Lewis,
a member OF the town council IN
charge Of the vigiiantes, discovered
prowler on a lawn.
At another time this week the
vigilantes arrested a motor party
acting suspiciously. The two men
and four women were intoxicated,
and they were fined $50 and costs
to help defray the expense Of extra
badges and firearms for the vigil
antes.
I'VE want to catch a couple of
those prowlers," said Mayor Dallas
I'VE believe the lesson we can ad-
minister might be effective"
A prowler was recently discovered
in the bedroom of Haddon Heights
resident. The citizen sprang at him,
but not before the intruder had es-
capped into the hall and shut the
door behind him. The noise awak-
ened a brother across the hall, who
ran to the bedroom door to see what
caused the noise. Both men arrived
at the bedroom door At the same
time. and each tugged against the
ether on opposite sides OF the door
while the prowler escaped.
