THE DAYS OF REAL SPORT

! while the other half knelt and held the
mouth of large gunny sack open to
receive the game. The others were
supposed to form a circle and to slow
ly drive the game into the coulee
where il was to be captured. Instead
of doing this they went home and af-
ter waiting for some time for the rest
Of the hunters, retired for the night.
About 8 o'clock the next morning
the sack holder and the man with the
lantern returned home cold and damp
and much disappointed that they had
not had better luck. They advanced
the opinion that If they had taken the
coulee little farther over where
there was more brush the game would
have been more plentiful.
When they found out that the 9TH
ers had been snug In bed while they
shivered in the cold and damp, the
language used would have been out OF
place at church sociable.

on the Roman ranch these days are
not ended because when the weather
is damp and the ordinary work Of
the ranch can not proceed as usual
the ladies of the ranch join with the
men in some kind Of recreation.
Sunday it was too wet to work and
snipe season having not yet closed,
the young people decided that it would
be a fine thing to have a change of
diet for Monday and SO proceeded to
organize snipe hunting party. Two
young men volunteered to hold the
lantern and the sack. This was dis
puted by some of the others who in
sisted that they should have chance
to share in the supreme pleasure Of
bagging the game. The latter finally
gave in and in the darkness Of the
early evening the two young men were
led to a distant coulee where the hunt
ing was best and one was placed with
the lantern in an appropriate spot

vENDsEL HURT:
BY GAS ENGINE

Last week VIM. vendsel Of the
Rocky Mountain Elevator had q mar
row escape from death and Is nurs-
ing bruised and blackened members
which are mementos Of the occasion
He was starting the bg gasoline sn-
gine which runs the elevator niachin-
cry. The big fly wheel has to be
turned by hand to get the requisite
compression. In some way the en-
gine fired prematurely throwing Mr..
vendsel off his balance and causing
one foot to slip through the spokes.
He hung on to the wheel while it made
a half revolution. 1t then swung back
but was stopped by the compression
and did not fire again. When the
wheel reversed vendsel was thrown
against the side Of the building but
jumped to his feet apparently unhurt.
His injuries became increasingly more
painful until he was compelled to get
Mr.. Netterburg Of the Wayne eleva-
tor to assist him. Mr.. vendsel con-
siders his escape almost miraculous
because a second explosion could hard
ly have failed of killing him tangled
up in the wheel as he was.

On Friday evening a meeting was
held in the club rooms of the K. p
hall to discuss the question of what
was best to do about the footbridge.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
the repair of the bridge is commun-
ity undertaking and that the expense
should be borne by the community as
whole. A subscription list viii hit
few hard while many escape any ex-
pense at all and yet these may be the
ones who are deriving the greatest
benefit from the use of the bridge.
With this in mind the meeting de-
cided to give dance to raise the mon-
ey to make the needed repairs. The
expense for the hall will be nominal,
the orchestra will be, at least par
TALLY, serving without pay. The sup
per will be donated and the advertis-
ing, bills and tickets will be at half
price.
with very ntLle expense the pro-
ceeds from the dance should be suf-
ficient for the purpose but only if ev-
cry family buys at least one ticket.
The school children use the footbridge
constantly. Church people use it oc-
casionally and there is scarcely per-
son in town who does not find it con-
venient at least once a week. Thus
with every person in town under some
obligation to the old footbridge it
ought to be pleasure to sell the tick
cts and get the dollars. To buy a
ticket and then give it away to some
one who would otherwise buy one for
himself is helping not at all. Buy a
ticket and use it if you like but IL you

ROUNDUP SUNDAY
At ARMSTRONC'S

On Sunday at the Armstrong ranch
on Cora creek another Roundup will
be staged. This promises to be ex-
ceptionally good as the mistakes of
the past have taught the managers
what is necessary to make a success
of an affair Of this kind.
To avoid delays in the handling of
stock three chutes have been built so
that it will be possible to have some
thing doing all the time. The best
bucking horses to be found in the
country have been gathered together
for the afternoon and the management
promise the audience some rare sport.
At noon beef will be done to a turn
over barbecue pit presided over by
Geo. Lester, an old hand at the bus
mess. Everyone is invited TO be pres
ent and to share in the roast beef.
Other refreshments may be obtained
on the grounds so that no one need go
hungry. The distance is not great.
Follow the Raynesford road to the old
Frank Falls place and then turn
through the gate at your right and
you are there.
There will be bulldogging, riding of
range steers and a wild COW milking
contest. A pleasant day will see one
of the largest crowds and one Of the
best exhibitions of fast disappear
ing art in years.

ATHLETIC CLUB
TO START SOON

A number of men met at the Times
office ON Monday evening and talked
over the possibilities of organizing
and maintaining an athletic club for
the winter Among those present
were H. w. Millard, j. w. Leland, r.
E. Dunno, VIM. Fluhr. E. H. Sunder-
meier, Frank Bales, A. V. Bakko and
John Dolin.
j. w. Leland was appointed COM
mittee to find out whether athletic
equipment could be procured. H. w.
Millard and S. A. Remington were ap-
pointed committee to secure the up
per floor of the. city hall. A commit
tee on membership was also appoint
ed to find the number who would wish
to become members. An athletic club
would mean much for the men of the
city. Boxing, wrestling, hand ball,
medicine ball, basketball could be the
means of passing away many Of the
long winter evenings. The only draw
back to such an organization is that it
costs money and can not be run with
out it. II sufficient number can be
found who viii be willing to invest the
few dollars necessary, the club will be
a success, otherwise it viii fall
through. Now 10 the time for the men
to make up their minds whether they
want such a club or not. The pro-
motors will give every one an oppor-
tunity to join.

SPECIAL SESSION
NOT ADVISABLE

A short lived rumor went the rounds
in Washington the other day that q
special session of Congress would be
called soon to deal with the farmers
problems. An entire cabinet meeting
was devoted to this subject, which has
been uppermost in the minds of Pres
ident Coolidge and Secretary Wallace
for some time.
Senator Borah, soon after his re-
turn from Idaho, spent two hours dis
cussing the agricultural situation with
the President. He reports President
Coolidge as being fully alive to the
situation and trying to work out So
luton, but against calling Congress
back to Washington without prac-
teal remedy to offer. Senator Borah
says the situation west of the Missis-
sippi is the worst he has ever seen or
read about. Like the President, how,
ever, he is of the opinion that If a
workable plan out of the difficulty
can not be Offered before calling a
congressional session, it is not likely
that having the legislators in Wash
iRgton would alleviate matters.
President Coolidge has let it be
known that before submitting any
proposed solution of the farm situa-
tion to Congress in December, he will
fully consider the views of all blocs,
factions and divisions of the slight re-
publican majority. 1t is believed that
this will help unite the majority par
ty into a working organization, altho
considerable talk hinges around the
plans Of the democrats, with the aid
of the republican liberals"
Political observers recall that Sena-
tor LaFollette and Representatives.
James Garrett and Cordell Hull had
considerable to do with Developments
leading to the republican split in 1912.
Garrett is slated to be the minorityf
leader in the sixty-eighth Congress.
What they may be able to accomplish
in the way of embarrassing President
Coolidge as they did Mr.. Taft during
the latter half of his one-term admin
istration remains to be seen.
