These nave an unusual geological
story. Near Alderman an cratic, a
stone brought from the north by the
continental glacier, was located at a
level of about $50 feet, somewhat
higher than any previously found in
that region. When the wall of ice
was in the vicinity-of Baraboo there
was a lake extending to the west,
covering the low valley where North
Freedom is located ALSO the surround
ing region. While the water filled the
basin chunks of ice broke from the
glacier and floated out often striking
the shoreline miles away. These little
icebergs often contained earth and
stones which would be deposited as
the ice melted. The finding of the
cratic at Ableman would indicate the
water in the lake was much higher
than supposed. Subsequent investi-
cations will no doubt be made.

Miss Belle Trumbull,' in whom the
Hamilton line endures, says the great
grandfather Of Annie Hamilton came

girl, Jane Goole; thus Annie and her
descendants typify a sterling Scotch
Irish combination. This reputed Ham,

Trumbull recalls. ALSO departing from
Scotland was brother James. who
located in the West Indies to mer-
andise and became the father of
Alexander Hamilton, born ON the is

brothers had to seek their fortunes,
since the Hamilton estate, "Cadzo on
the Clyde" according to Miss Trum-
/ bull, had been inherited by an elder
brother. The property came into the
family, Miss Trumbull says, from an
early Scottish king. Other Informal

was given to his New York home by

Think Boys From Cutoff
Town Have Something of
a Surprise to Spring in
T /Today'S Game.

Belen, the hardest nut the Grays
have had to crack this year and the
only club in the state to win two
games from Dan Padilla's team
will meet the Grays this afternoon
at 2:45 o'clock at Barelas field,
Belen will be greatly strengthened
at third base. which was its weak
point IN last Sundays game with
Santa Fe. The largest delegation
of out-of-town rooters seen here
this season will accompany Belen,
The Grays always have to extend
themselves to beat Belen, and the
outcome of today's game is by no
means certain.
The Grays have won IS games
and lost 4, which gives them a
percentage of .S1S, enough, Mana
ger Padilla says, to win the PEN
nant in any league. On their re-
cent trip to the southern part of
the state, when they won two out
of three games with Fort Bayard
and decisively beat Hurley, which
was reinforced by players from
Santa Rita, the Grays made Sc
hits, which is a sure enough bunch
for four contests. PARENT, Sala-
gar, Manuel Chavez. and Polo Cha
vez made home runs. Two of the
games were guiltless of errors on
the part of the Grays.
Fort Bayard will be here for a
series on August is, 10 and 20;
Clovis of the West Texas league
will come late in the season, and
also Woodward, Okla.
Padilla said last night he would
use in today's game the pitcher
making the best showing in the
workouts.
