Els DOGSHIp. "BROWNIE,,

The large crowd who filled the Tenn
pie Theatre Saturday night were priv
LEGGED to see one of the most superb
bits of canine acting ever thrown on
the screen in the clever comedy in
which Brownie, the great dog actor,
played the leading role. That dog has
more brains than some people, and he
sure did the right thing at the right
time, drowning the alarm clock in the
pitcher when it awoke him, running
the auto, doing problems in mathema-
tics, almost crying when reproved by
his young master, rescuing children
from the burning school room, faint
ing at the smell of the limberger
cheese, and a host of other clever
stunts that exhibit a wonderful state
of canine mental development. And
Dynamite, the trained mule, was nc
SLOUGH, either. Those who miss the
Temple Theatre programs should be
sympathized with.

BUD BEATS KOLBO 4 To |

Bud ball team and Kolbo Bros. nine
70 Lacrosse played a pretty game of
ball on the Viroqua fair grounds Sun
day afternoon, Bud winning by a four
to one score. The Virolua fans were
especially pleased to see Bunny Rab-
bitt, old Kiroqua player, do the heav-
ing for Bud, and Bunny got by in nice
shape-passing one, hitting one. and
being nicked for four scattered hits.
He should have had a shutout, over
throws by the catcher giving Kolbos
their only score. Kolbo's center field
err made a great catch off Sidney
Thompson's long fly; their short stop
also making beautiful pick up. Ed
Gabrielson captured hard foul. Pete
Volden made great one-handed catch
of a line drive in center field. Melvin
Thompson raped the pill for three
safe hits.
