the way, the ball that Bratton knocked
into deep left field for homer hasn't
been found yet. Young Johnny
Walker, however, be it said to his
credit, didn't get ratified at all but kept
going good until the final frame al
though he lost.
It was all kinds Of an old ball game.
There was more or less pickering and
quarreling and the fights totaled one.
The rowing started in the fourth in
ming with the Glover third baseman
doing the "beefing." Umpire Lewis
NJ. Grist called one Of Gaulden's offer
ings to Will Grayson, Glover short stop

Parish and others though it was a ball
Little was said, however, until Clovers
time to give the Legionaires their end
of the frame. The third base position
was vacant and then Lacey Parish,
Clover's third baseman, informed the
party that unless they got a. new UNI
pire he would take his doll rags and

to let him CO. But the row was: settled
when Umpire Grist retired in favor OF
Umpire Stegall Of Sharon. Although
there was more kicking by Clover the
second Jumps" wrestled with 'em until
the end. -.
A real scrap occurred in the seventh.
Frank Smrill, Legion right fielder, hit
one and had to run to make 1t. Ac-
cording to eye witnesses, Ed Grayson.
Glover first sacker was standing well
on the base and Simrill ran into him.
Grayson clouded up like a Texas
norther. Simrill came back to apolo-
gize for running into him. Grayson
undertook to describe the particular
brand of liar that he thought Slmrill
was. He had no chance to finish the
description because in the 'twinkling of
an eye Simrill had given him formal
introduction to Mother Earth by the
knock down route. The high sheriff
and other officers came on the field and
stopped the fireworks.
Glover had batting rally IN the
eighth innig when Lee Gettys, clever
Clover second sacker, hit one for three
bases. But they were unable to eaten

reply I have the honor to inform you
that in my opinion the settlement of
such boundary disputes as arise in the
matter under consideration is matter
Of European concern in which, in &C
cord with the traditional policy of the
United States. this government should
not become involved. The attitude OF
the government in this matter is clear

Europe, who will, therefore, so far as
at present may be seen, take no part

Irish patriots made extensive raids
in England last week. The raids were
directed mainly against the families of
members of the Royal Irish constab-
ulaly operating in ireland. selected
houses were attacked in the night, and
the occupants were killed or otherwise
roughly treated. In a number Of cases
the houses were burned. British troops
in Ireland have been rctaliatcd by
burning many Irish homes. The con-
ditions throughout Ireland are horrible.
1t is the worst form OF guerilla war
fare. Irish shoot British and Brltlsh
sympathiZers from ambush, and the
British rctalate in kind. If prisoners
are taken they are summarily shot.
The British government OF course
treats the Irish only as rebels who are
not entitled to belligercnt rights OF any
kind and the Irish govern themselves
accordingly There is nothing in sight
to indicate any early settlement OF the
reign Of terror.

The Federal prohibition force
throughout the country will be re-
duccd two-thirds during the next forty
days because OF lack Of funds with
which to pay the men. The approprla-
ton is running short and it is forty
days until Il new fiscal year COM
mcnces. While Of course congress
could supply the deficiency and pre-
vent the reduction il it so desired. it is
not likely that congress will do any
thing of the kind. 1t is suggested that
the deficiency gives an excellent op-
purtunity to make vacancies that are
very much desired at present. Lack "l
funds gives Il good excuse for such Va
cancies:, because of course nobody can
be expected to enforce laws without
money But at the end of the lori!
days when the new appropriation DC
comes available, it is anticipated that
the Democrats who have laid off Tor
"lack ul funds" will he replaced .hy
Republicans who need their jobs.

indicates, and after hearing the re-
ports of the society for the past year
proceeded to the election of the Of
ficials for the new fiscal year be-
ginning May Is, the thirty-second
anniversary of its organizing.
With happy emulation and joyful
rivalry the candidates were proposed
and opposed till the following were
selected, some of them being the
fragments of most carefully made
slate: The retiring treasurer, Leslie
Jones was made president, his CO.
partners are Laura Faulconer, Julia
Sutton, Olive Eckersley and Grace
Miltenburger to the yice-presidencies
in the order Of their names here
given. To record their deeds and
hold the moneybag Paul Pearson and

write his name and Leona can count
pennies up to twenty, but does not
know how to start an electric stove

handles the worries when music time
comes around.
On Sunday evening at the church

will be charged and the retirers dis

Engineer Has Bones
Eyerybody's Comments

City Engineer James Young has
his office in the cottage opposite the
City Hall and when the health ofncer
got after him recently to remove MS
soup bones and other stale stuff from
tie lot or which his Zee stood, the
engineer aforesaid took the officer
aforesaid out upon the lots men
toned hereintofore and told him
those were not his bones, but that
they were trespassers brought there
by village dogs and were by them de-
posted with malice aforeth0lght or
whatever the lawyers call 1t. lie said
there are certain and sundry res
taurants operating across the alley
and that they, the restaurants, buy
or in some manner come into posses
sion of certain soup bones and al
legged t-bones, lOin cuts ETC., and after
serving the meats together with &C
companying bones in the manner
peculiar to restaurants, they then
dump the bones into their garbage
cans and at nightfall there would
come forth village dogs, after the
manner of bears in the Yellowstone
park or jackalls in Egypt, and carry
the bones away in triumph to gnaw
them on his dominions and without
his consent, but generally with his
for he could not help see
ing and hearing them. In the course
of time the bones grew stale and
even the dogs stunned them as re-
former shuns bad whisky, reviewing
them only when they are alone or
with somebody.
Thereupon the health officer said
which we decline to print,
and he went away mediating on the
mysteries of community life.
