Another Good, But
=, Verified Fish Storu

Rev. C. S. Sparkes and L. A.
Walker, two experienced
fishermen of this city, return
ed from a very fruitful fish
ing trip on Sank Lake Friday
evening of last week. The
gentlemen were very much
elated over the fact that they
had refuted the belief that
a fish won't strike twice with
in a short interval of time.
Rev. Sparkes, while trolling
received a strike and when
Keeling in, the fish snapped
the line, taking the June Bug
with him. A few minutes lat
er Mr.. Walker had a strike
and succeeded in landing his
catch. After a time, in which
Mr.. Walker was busily en-
gagged in extracting the hooks
from the pikeral's mouth, he
politely handed Mr.. Sparkes
his lost June Bug. He had
landed the fish which a few
moments before had struck
his companions line.
Going still further to prove
that the theory is false, they
also had a similar experience
with a Black Bass. In this in
cident a live frog was snapped
off from one of their lines,
and within a short lapse of
time a Bass was landed. His
characteristics were suspic-
ious SO they proceeded to
probe the situation. Upon ex-
animation they found the
frog lodged in the stomach,
still alive, which convinced
them that it was the same
bass which had succeeded in
getting the frog from the OPP
posite hook q few moments
before.
Besides exposing this erron-
eous theory, the gentlemen
returned with a splendid
catch, including IL pound
pickerel.

FARMERS HAD FINE
OUTING THURSDAY
Frank Weber, Commun-
. ity Builder, Speaks at
West Union Picnic.
FINE SPORTS PROGRAM
Farmers Beat Village Lads
in an IL Inning Kitten
ball Game, 7 to 6.

The creamery picnic at west
Union Thursday of last week at
tracted goodly number of farm
ers and their families.
The headline attraction was the
address by Frank Webber, COM
munity builder. The gentleman
makes practical talk and drives
his facts home with telling effect.
The boys band of Bertha, splen-
did organization, furnished music
in liberal quantities for the occa-
sion, playing a program of popu-
lar and classical numbers.
At the conclusion of the ad-
dress of Mr.. Webber, two kitten
ballteams, one made up of farmers
and the other of young men from
the village, staged corking good
game. This contest ragged for II
innings before the farmers copied
a z to 6 victory.
The village team forced one
across in the first inning and the
farmers failed to connect. Things
began to happen in the second
when the farmers scored two and
they forced four more over in
the third. Pitcher Schwanke of
the village team with some snappy
support in the field, held them i'm
check until two men were out in
the 18th when the winning run
was scored.
The village team was shut out
in the second, scored one in the
third, three in the fifth and tied
the game in a knot with one in
the eighth.
This game was a splendid ex-
hibition inasmuch as the diamond
was a pasture and the teams had
only played two games this seas
on. 1t was good sport. The teams
lined up as follows:
Farmers: Johnson, CT; H. Cans,
SIS; Art IMaus, 1b; A. Kraemer, 2b;
A. Radermacher, p; N. Kraemer,
SIS; AL Radermache, 3b; AL Didier,
rf; P. Ensign, C; Paul, If.
Village: E. Schwanke, p; j.
Werrie, 2b; B. Maus, BIB; J. Mon
ii, SIS; H. Werrie, Lib; R. Bent
field, If; "A. Schwanke, c; L.
Schlicht, cf; H. Schwanke, IS; J.
Bentfeld, If.
The farmers from the north of
the village were pitted against
those residing south in Tug O.
War. 1t was a valiant struggle.
The team from the north, cap
tanned by Jonas Didier, won the
match and incidentally box OF
cigars.
Hilda Kraemer won the race for
girls under Ia; Dorothy Triewel.
er was second.
The race for boys under IA
was won by Henry Trieweiler.
The ladies' race was won 10y
Anna Osmond, with Esther Korf
close second.
The sack race was an ellmlna-
ton affair as there were too many
entries to line them all up at once.
Paul Bentfeld won this race after
a couple of dead heats.
"A dozen boys and girls were
lined up for the pie eating con
test. "A BURBERRY pie of good size
was the portion for each contest
ant. May Osman won first honors
and cash prize with Jerome
Bentfeld second.
The committee in charge of the
picnic had the arrangements well
in hand and furnished an instruc-
tive and enjoyable outing.

Mother andlSons BIZ
cycling to Winnipeg

There is nothing like a long
bicycle ride to instill vehe-
ment vigor into ones pedal
extremities. At least, we in
fer that to be the conviction
of young woman and her
son, who wheeled through
Sank Centre early Wednes-
day morning.
The duo, travelling by BIZ
cycle, hailed out of Kansas
City, Mo-, eleven days ago,
and were bound for Winni-
peg, where they will visit
with relatives.
A prompt and courteous
gas service station means lit
tie to these folks, but after a
day of persistent bicycling,
an eat service station, we
should imagine, means a
great deal.

FISHERMEN'S FEUD
DEATH CAUSE, BELIEF
Coroner's Finding Skaters Theory
That Man Drowned.

BIZ United Press
HAMMOND, Ind, July 21.-Belief
that fishermen"s feud over rights
to angling places was responsible for
the death of Adam Buzenski, IS,
Calumet City fisherman, whose body
was found in the Little Calumet
River, Sunday, was strengthened to-
day by Coroner j. j. Doetrich's re-
port that no water was found in the
lungs.
The actual cause of death was not
determined. Buzenski's left jaw had
been fractured by a sharp blow and
it was apparent That he was dead
when his body was thrown into the
river, some time after his disappear
anace last Thursday.
Williams Verspiel, who lived near
where the body was found and who
found Buzenski's clothes on the
bank of the river, was still held
without charge today. Several COM
panions of the dead man, known to
have quarreled with him over stolen
fish traps, are sought.
