K. c. A. c. IS; R. A. RS as

Tuesday night the local r. A. R. s
triumphed over the K. of c. five by a
score. of 45 to 35 The game was full
of interest and every player fought
bitterly to the end. The first half
ended with the K of G.. In the lead.
The last half found the r A RS
leading in points largely due to Gross
streak of luck in throwing goals.
Lattigan, the wiry forward for the K.
of c., got away with most Of the
points. The f1oorwork of Meier and
Wiesner was excellent. Staab played
mighty good game at center and
BAIL put up a great defensive game
For the R. A. RS mention must be
made about Gross, for he was easily
the star player. He dropped in a large
share of free goals. Shade and
Spencer featured by their floor work.
This was undoubtedly the best game
that was played in the K of c. gym
and big crowd saw the game. Next
week might bring these two teams to-
gether for another battle. Come out
and wach them.

FOR MANY PEOPLE;

Keithsburg, ILL.,, Aug. 4.-keiths-
burg is becoming more and more
a summer resort and from indica-
lions will be one of the finest
places for outings in this part OF
the country
The possibilities of keithsburg
as a site for a summer home were
probably first seen by the late Les
ter C. Miller of Monmouth. who
bought some ground and built the
first bungalow of logs here about
10 years ago. 1t was named Bungle
Inn. The furniture was of rustic
design, unique among the pieces
being a four-posted bedstead made
from curly birch wood.
Other summer homes here now
are that of ]. A. Scott OF the Mon
mouth Pillow works, who owns Bun
gle Inn, MIR. Richards, care taker
for the late Mr.. Miller, Mr.. Long,
Monmouth photographer, c. q.

of historic interest in connection
