BoY MARooNED ON CHURCH
AND CAN'T GET DOWN

The proclivities OF the small boy
for climbing unheard OF places have
from time immemorial been marvel
to ordinary mortals. but when fifteen.
yearold Dean McCarty reached the
top OF the Presbyterian church Tues
day afternoon and discovered his
predicament, his courage left him and
he cried loudly for help.
Rev. F. E Stemme. who lives in
the manse next door. heard the hoy
and reported the matter TO the police
department. and Fire Chief Seicrest-
assisted by J. f. Chalmers. rescued
the boy from his perilous position.
While they were up there they
discovered that the roof OF the
church was literally strewn with dead
pigeons. Judging from appearances,
the slaughtering OF these birds by
boys has been going on for some time.

BOY RISKS LIFE TO
SAVE FRIEND FROM DEATH

Greater love than this hath no
man, that he lay down his life for
his friend"
One day last week n number OF
children were playing near the mill
ditch west of town when small
boy lost his balance and fell into the
stream which was over six feet deep.
The child disappeared from sight and
the children screamed loudly for
help.
The fourteen year old son OF Mr.
and Mrs. Scobey. living on Dodge
street. came to the rescue, sprang in.
grasped the little fellow and after a
hard struggle brought him out.
No great demonstration followed
the act, but as truly as ever a hero
in battle gave up his life, this boy
offered his life sacrifice for anoth-
er. and surely his name will be re-
corded sometime. somewhere. among
those of Gods noblemen.

oLATHE GRABS GAME FROM
DELTA BOYS SUNDAY

BY far the best game Of ball played
here this season took place Sunday
between the Delta and Olathe teams.
John Neal was in the box for the
visitors. while Joe Mills, his trusty
catcher did the usual honors.
Brouse, Delta's one time pitcher.
came down and did the pill tossing
for Delta, while our classy catcher.
Nicholson, was there with the goods
all the time. The Delta boys never
had a better catcher He plays the
game all the time, and II he doesn't
get those fouls they can't be got.
The Olathe boys are hard sluggers.
Brouse pitched very good game.
While he pitched for Delta last year
he had some off days the same as
nearly all pitchers do. but he won
many friends because he was always
clean. and many fans there were who
were glad to see him in the box for
this game.
Neal was right" during the first
six innings. never giving our boys
even a little scratch hit, but his
arm failed in the. seventh and Delta
scored three runs. Had It not been
for the erratic decisions of the jumps
in the seventh. we would have prob
ably had two more runs, and while a
change was made In umpires. 1t
didn't help the aspect of Delta's
score any Charles Neal pitched for
Olathe, shutting out the home team.
The final score was 5 to 3 in IA
ror of the visitors
The Delta boys will not play next
Sunday. On the Fourth OF July
they viii play Paonia on the home
grounds at 3 o'clock
