real and personal has been distributed

There was evidently great deal OF
sentiment attached to the disposition
of some of his things. Ills Germunder

George Boyer Rossback, to be retained
in the family and never sold. Also a
Lud and Lowe combination shot gun
and rifle given to Felix Anschutz with

Younger Boys Play
Saturday

Two games were played yesterday
afternoon in the older boys church
indoor base ball league with another
one forfeited by the United Presby'
terrain Maroons to the Christian Mid

Westministers Horseshoes and Con
gregational Invincibles was won by
the Horseshoes with score OF IL to
10. The Trinity Spartans gained a
victory over the Baptist Giants by a
score of 8 to 8. The scores give proof
that the teams were all evenly
matched, and the series will doubtless
be more interesting for this reason.
Saturday morning the younger boys
church indoor baseball league will
play off some of its games. AS the
boys are showing lots Of pep in their
work, the clashes are likely to be ex,
citing.
The following schedule will be OBJ
