which had but recently been in opera

was the largest still that has yet fall
en- into the hands of the law in this
county. Rumor has it that there are
several other stills in the lead belt in
active operation, and other similar
seizures may soon be expected.
The Sheriff also brought Weston in
with him, but he succeeded in making
arrangements with the Prosecuting
Attorney to retain his freedom by Civ
ing a "case" bond, which consists of
the estimated costs and a minimum
fine, amounting to about SIG. 1t is

What About
a Ball Park T?

Now that the new year is advanc-
ing and each day draws spring a lit
tie nearer, The Times is reminded of
the determination that was expressed
by many of our citizens to put forth
efforts to build a base ball park and
suitable grand stand in the spring,
which would go a long way toward
securing for Pennington high class
of splendid sport and amusement, to
which the community is justly enti-
tied.
Pennington has been tagging be-
hind several other towns in the coun-
ty in this respect. At least two other
towns have well built ball parks,
which are real assets to those towns.
Is it right or just to ask or expect
Pennington to continue to thus OBJ
scure herself from this cleanest and
best of all sports? We say 1t is not.
Is it right from a business standpoint? p?
Perhaps no one is so ignorant as 30
contend that base ball park, where
good ball games can be seen through
out the season, is not a real asset to
a ,tc~n. IL there are any such, thea
what we say is not addressed to them
until they can more nearly get facts
properly adjusted.
1t is well known and generally ac-
knowledged fact that good ball games
attract many from far and near, and
the better reputation a place may
have for staging good ball games,
the greater is their drawing power.
II these things are true, then even the
opponents Of base ball-especially
Sunday ball-must admit that every
visitor will be Of some benefit to the
city while there, thus proving it's mer-
it as a drawing feature, which no real
live. progressive people will volun-
tarily deprive themselves of. Does
that not prove, from selfish view
point. the value of good base ball?
But from a loftier and more ad-
vanced viewpoint a similar present
ment is made by good, clean ball
games, indulged in by players and
spectators for the purpose Of secur-
ing healthful and harmless exercise
and amusement. Whether it be on
Sunday afternoon or on week day
where is the difference? Ball games
are never played while church servic-
es are in progress, and The Times Is
firmly of the opinion that there is nc
more harm in playing or watching
good base ball on Sunday afternoon
than there is in autoing. So there
you are. Take it or leave it.
There are many splendid ball play.
ers in Pennington and near vicinity
so that, in all probability, it would
not be necessary to import players
as most other small towns are COM
PEELED to. in order to have a surpass-
ing base ball team here. This is un-
questionably the time to start con-
versation--and work-for ball park
if that work is to be begun in the ear
ly spring. The Times hopes everyone
who is in favor of encouraging the
clean, expert and manly sport of bet
ter base ball will interest themselves
in this matter and help push the good
work to completion.

ANOTHER FINE RESI-
DENCE DAMAGED

Fire was discovered in the Laak-
man home, on Columbia street, about
o'clock last Friday evening, and a
large crowd was soon on hand, in re-
sponse to the fire whistle. The auto
hose cart lost no time in getting to
the fire, but the fire fighters had con-
siderable difficulty in reaching the
flames with their strong streams, the
water power being perfect for fire
fighting. After the flames had made
considerable headway. they were soon
suppressed when the streams could be
brought to bear on them properly.
The fire is supposed to have start
ed from a defective fue, and much
damage was wrought, not only to the
building but also to the contents, from
fire and water. About three years
ago this same residence sustained a
similar visitation, when it and it's con-
tents met with what appeared to be
about like amount of damages.
This was one of the most completely
furnished homes in the city, much ad-
ditional improvement having been
made on the interior the past year.
1t was heavy loss, but was well
covered with insurance, satisfactory
adjustment Of which was made We'd
nesday. The Laakmans have moved
into the Morris property. corner of
Liberty and A streets. which they
were fortunate / in securing, and
which will doubtless be their home at
least for the remainder of the winter.
