eat any melon, was unharmed.
The Mills family were late in aris-

Mrs. Mills brought from the refrig-

pairing it for the meal Mrs. Mills re-
marked about the nice, yellow color

lieved it to be the best appearing
they had obtained this season.
Edith and her father ate little else
besides the melon. A few minutes
later the little girl left the house to
play with neighborhood children. She
returned home at noon and complain

SOUTH DAKOTA
BASE BALL LEAGUE
MITCHELL ENTERTAINED IN MA
DISON--SEASON CLOSES
SUNDAY

Mitchell played ball here very in
differently Wednesday. A weak pit
cher and what appeared to be inten-
tional errors gave Madison an oppor
tunity to walk away with everything
and count their easy made score up
to Is. The visitors were apparently
satisfied with only 5:
Yesterday Mitchell seemed to have
her pep restored and went into the
contest with stronger mound man
and a more determined effort to win.
The game was snappy throughout
and the grandstand attendance got
their moneys worth. Madison pull
ed nothing but zeros. The visitors
got five scores.
Tomorrow comes the first game of
the final combat with the Sioux tribe.
Sunday closes the state league season
with Mitchell a recognized cham
pion.
AS to attendance at the different
circuit points Madison has the credit
of the largest numbers present at
games.
The local team as it first started
out had poor management and little
| team spirit. The changing on the
personnel of the team from time to
| time had the effect of bringing it up
| TO a fair standard and just now, as
| the seasons about over, enough new
players of real aility have been an
nexed to make considerable show
| ing, only the chance of standing high
| i'm club percentage is lost.
| Whaever the future of baseball is to
| be in this city it will largely depend
| upon careful selection of good men,
men who care whether they play well
or not And again, a team must be
| well managed. All were disappoint-
| ed in Ralph Works but Dave Altizer
| is a hummer for an all round man.
He has good control fine playing
| ability and it only took short time
| to acquaint local fans with the fact
/ that he is worth having.
The ups and downs of state league
teams is disappointing at times yet
| it is certain that the sport as govern
ed by state rules is bound to be an
attraction well supported.

AUTO THIEF HAD
UNIQUE SCHEME
TEXAS MAN CAUGHT IN BLACK
HILLS HAS RECORD AS En-
PERT CAR "RUSTLER"

Rapid City, Sept. 10.--F. S. Hunt,
fugitive from Texas, who was cap
tured in the Black Hills, has been
taken back to the Lone Star state for
trial. He is wanted for the theft of
a number of automobiles, one of
which he drove to the Black Hills.
Texas officers who came to the
Black Hills to escort the prisoner
back to Texas say he worked very
smooth scheme in his auto stealing
operations. He made a. practice of
stealing new Ford cars when he
struck a town, and at once removed
the number and stamped on another.
Thus while the officers were look
ing for a new Ford with the original
number, they might inspect the cal
he had stolen and not know it was
the one they were looking for, be
cause of the change of numbers.
Then Hunt would be Joined by .
pal. to whom he would give a bill
of sale of the car, describing it b,
the number he had substituted fol
the original one. The pal, armed
with the bill of sale. would sell thu
car and they WOULD divide the pro
ceeds.
| Suspicion to him was attracted b.
the fact that some of the number
put ON stolen cars by him were of
different style than those put on tn
cars at the factory.
