Chisholm Game.
Despite the acute GOODNESS of the
air fair-sized crowd attended the
opening game Friday. The sun
would peep from behind some heavy
clouds for moment at time and
the fans saw the home team romp
handily through the game amid
Ideal football weather. The game
was proceeded by parade and sew
eral choice selections by the Com
munity Band.
If the fans braved the cold to
hear and see the crashing and sail
ing of the leather-coated sphere
they returned home satisfied for the
Ely stick wielders slammed out 10
hits for a total of 33 bases. CHS
holm, however, was sorrowfully lack
ing in this department acquiring a
scarce five singles and double.
Everyone of the locals got a least
one hit. Lambert especially swung
the willow in handsome manner,
garnering four hits, two of them
doubles.
Biederman Hits.
Biederman, newcomer, was also
quite adept in stick-work slamming
out three hits. He banged out a
triple on the second ball pitched TO
him. Coming up in the fourth with
the bases loaded he lined out time
ly single. H. Chinn, Moravitz,
Gianotti and Kalb also hit for three
sacks.
A few brilliant plays helped to re-
lieve the monotony inflicted by the
a hearty round of applause when he
perpetuated double play in the
third. Thompson was on first.
Chaput popped low fly over short
which had the aspects of hit.
Thompson regarding it so left first.
Hoefer steamed in from left field
and running low picked the ball
from his shoe tips and threw per-
fectly to first on the same run
catching Thompson by four yards.
Chinn Knocks One Down.
In the second ON pretty play
Chinn downed possible double and
made the out unassisted. Ely's first
run of the season was made in the
following manner. H. Chinn be-
gan the inning by fouling out.

and under the bed and refused to come
out. But they chased the bear on and
finally killed it.
Another simila instance, Uncle
Green Johnston was going from his
home where Andy Johnston now lives,
over to Uncle Jesse Robinson's near
Sloan church. He came onto pack
of dogs that were chasing a bear and
had made the bear take to a tree and
spread himself out ON a large limb.
He ran to Uncle Robinsons for help,
got little shotgun and such ammuni-
tion as he had and Uncle Jesse and
old Mig, very large black dog and
supposed to be very savage. The few
neighbOrs in the settlement had arriv-
ed by this time. They proceeded to

gun into Bruin until it became uncom-

himself out and made a bee line for

were good property it was somewhat
difficult to procure them.
There was large deer lick on my
fathers place and hundreds of deer
came there day and night to lick the

were not more or less deer there, even
after we had fenced it and made it

1t had once been buffalo lick. l

Oh, For the Good Old Days of
The Long, Long Ago

Yes in those good old days we had
great numbers of wild game and fur
bearing animals. Wild deer were as
plentiful as cattle now and turkeys
almost as plentiful as chickens, really
were compared to the number of settle
ments. Plenty of wolves and bear
numerous. 1t was not at all uncommon
for MS to sit in our little log cabins
and see deer, from two to ten or twelve,
pass in sight Turkeys would often
pass through our little fields and some
times cross through our barn lots but
only few spent any time in hunting
them. Only few old flint lock rifles
or little SINCE barrel shotguns.
/ wclllremember an incident which
occurred hen l was very young. Bill
Parker as going to neighbors on
horseba' and came upon large bear.
He and S dog made chase, he yelling
with all lis might for help, the dogs
baying an the time. They came by
our place about 60 yards of the house.
Ny father was plowing. We had
very severe dog, Old Cuff, that father
thought would catch anything. Father
threw the gearing off his horse, sad

ing for help. Just quarter of a mile
from our place L. X. Burrow lived.
Ola Bruin shambled up to the yard
fence, reared up on it and looked over

chasers were crowding him so he sham

bal gotten full in the chase and did
not go far until Cuff come in full force

times we had what is called hand gins
to separate the seed from the lint.
This device was two small rollers turn

inch in diameter, keyed close together
with a crank to turn the rollers BY
this means the rollers would draw the
lint through the rollers pulling it off
the seed and letting the seed fall be-
meath. This was a wonderful advance.

depth Of "A inches and on top Of that
there fell fine mist which froze until
the ice would hold up Il man or dogs
and would hold up deer while walk
ing But when they started to run
their high jumping and sharp hoofs
would break through the crust of ice
and the deer would go down to their
bodies and become easy prey for men
and dogs. The men all went out
to slaughter them and two or three
would go together armed with axes
and clubs and while the dogs held
down the deer they would slaughter
them, take off the pelts and leave the
carcass to go to waste Numbers Of
squads of two or three killed as many
as % to 80. In some instances the
deer would run up to the cabins, seem
ingly for protection. Some of the
women would kill them with hoes as
the men had the axes with them. One
woman killed one with battling
stock. Now some of you readers will
not know what that is. ASK your
grandmother. If you had used them
as much as / have you would know
them from experience, the best teacher
known. In those days we did not
even have rub boards much less wash
ing machines. hence we had to beat
the dirt out of clothes with heavy
paddle. 1t was a burning shame to
slaughter the deer as they did, but
that was in the good old days of the
long, long ago.
