LANCASTER
TRIMS MT.
HOREB, 800
Last Game Of Season
Tomorrow ON Local
Gridiron.
WONDERFUL SEASON RECORD

On a wet but firm field, in a driving
snow storm. Lancaster high school
football team defeated Mt. Horeb high
school on the local grounds Friday
afternoon by a SEQ Of "a to 0.
Mt, HOreb chose to defend the
south goal and Lancaster kicked off.
The kick was a poor one and the ball
rolled only few yards giving Mt.
HOreb the advantage Of putting the
ball in play in the center of the field
Lancaster supporters had few anX-
ious moments as the Mt. Horeb team
was q husky, likely docking bunch
and no one could fOresee what they
might do. However, they were held
at once for downs and had to punt
Lancaster then took the ball and
marched straight down the field for a
touchdown and after that the only
question was as to the size of the
Lancaster score and as to whether or
not Mt Horeb could score at all.
The game was featured by the fast
open field running of Mcdonald and
Edwards and the line smashing of
Huff and Mcdonald, but more than
anything else by the clean handling
of the heavy, wet ball by the whole
team. Not one tumble was made by
Lancaster in the fifty minutes play
which, under the conditions, is a truly
remarkable record.
Mt HOreb, though hopelessly out
classed, put up a plucky defensive
game and was in the fight until the
final whistle.
Lancaster has good team this
year, having played seven inter-schO-
lastic games up to date with the fol-
lowing results:
Lancaster AZ: Darlington 0.
Lancaster 49, Dodgeville 0.
Lancaster Z; Richland Center 13
Lancaster 81; Dodgeville 0.
Lancaster z; Fennimore T.
Lancaster IA; Darlington G.
Lancaster "a; Mt. Horeb o.
Points scored by Lancaster 1913.
Points scored by opponents 26.
On Thanksgiving afternoon Fenni-
more comes for the Lancaster game
of the annual home and home game of
the two teams The teams appear to
be evenly matched and, as they have
already played a tie game, both will
strain every nerve to win this one.
Last summer we had a successful
baseball team and we showed our APP
probation by turning out 1000 strong
to see the last game of the season.
This is the last football game of the
season. Let us turn out en- masse and
show the boys that we appreciate
their efforts

DANISH LUTHERAN NOTES
EXTRA and HAMLIN

EXTRA and HAMLIN
Christ be praised for the Holy
Spirit He sent us! Without this
power from on high" the church
would be a mere human organiza-
tion, if anything at all, and our
lives devoid Of divine assurance as
to the truth of the way of saliva
: ion.
Our Pentecost services were we'll
attended, and special credit is due
our Ladies' Aid committee for the
neat appearance Of the church in
terror.
Next Sunday is Trinity. Ser
vices are held at Hamlin in the
morning, 1890 o'clock, and at Ex-
ira in the afternoon, 2::3O o'clock.
On account of the baccalaureate
service at the High School, our
evening meeting at Extra is can
celled. Remember now the Sun
day schools and Bible classes! At
Hamlin we will have Bible class
next Sunday. Anybody is welcome
to partake. At the Y. P. Society
meeting last Sunday evening at
Hamlin a collection was taken up
in order to purchase some much
needed English hymn books. Con-
tributions for this purpose will be
received with thanks by the Off
GERS of the society and the Sunday
School. The latter is very thank
full to the Ladies Aid for their gen
erous donation to defray the debt
incurred by the purchase Of the
new text books and picture rolls.
We had an exceptionally large at
tendance of children last Sunday.
Let US keep it up.
Young Peoples Society meeting
at Hamlin will be held after this
on the last Wednesday evening OF
the month instead Of the first, be
sides the regular meeting on the
third Sunday evening. In Extra

in M. O. Smith Case

Among the cases tried before
Judge Rockafellow' at Audubon
last week, that Of Mrs. M. O..
Smith who sought divorce from
her husband was decided in favor
OF the defendant, Mrs. Smith being
denied the divorce on the ground
that the testimony failed to sustain
the charge of immoral conduct in
the defendant which the applicant
claimed, and the costs were assessed
to the plaintiff.
Smith had been restrained fron
going home during the progress
OF the suit. The decision refusing
the divorce removes the restraint.

Granddaughter of Sam
Harm Sr. Accidentally Shot

Miss Fern Harm was acciden-
tally shot Tuesday afternoon about
1 o'clock, with 20 calibre revol-
yer in the hands of Arne Larson,
fourteen years old. The ball en-
tered her body just below the
heart, stsuck a rib, followed it
around and lodged under the arm.
She was taken to the hospital inn
mediately, the ball removed and
the wound dressed.
The shooting took place at the
Harm home while Miss Fern was
preparing something to eat for the
boy, no one being at his home.
The revolver was an old one which
had been lying around the Harm
home for years, .unloaded, and how
the boy came in possession Of it
and loaded it has not yet; been ex-
planned.
The most despicable part of the
affair is that after the shooting,
the boy came down to the panti-
torium and told Mrs. Harm that
Fern had shot herself. 1t was a
terrible shock, but she went to the
phone and called DR.. Shelton i'm
mediately and then summoned a
nearby automobile to take her
home. At first it was thought it
was serious, but after locating and
removing the ball, it was found to
be only bad flesh wound. Miss
Fern is getting along nicely. Mr..
Harm, who was up the line, was To-
Gated at Bonesteel, and,it took lust
forty-seven minutes to get here af-
ter receiving the message.
The many friends Of Miss Fern
regret the incident, but are more
than pleased to know that it was
not more serious. Spencer, Ne
braska, Advocate.

hoped that he will continue to i'm

Miss Esther Andrews, used his
head as a target for well-aimed
fat iron, Joseph w. Leach, well
known vocal instructor, had the
young woman brought before JUS
tice Pressnall late yesterday on a
charge of assault with intent to in
flict great bodily injury.
"The alleged assault took place
Monday morning at the home of
Miss Andrews father, Isaac An
drews, prominent farmer living
north Of the city.
''The evidence of the bad usage
which Professor Leach declares he
was subjected to, he came into
court sans several teeth, discol-
ored eye and wearing pronounced
bumps on his head. Said damage,
averred the professor, was admin
istered by the irate young woman
armed with the flatiron.
Justice Pressnall refused to hold
Miss Andrews on the complaint
filed by her brother-in-law. There
upon the latter filed charge of
assault and battery. Hearing on
this charge will be held Thursday"

Mrs. j. K. VandeBrake are on the
