miles north of Raymond near the
Canadian border. is in the Sheri-

result of the brutal work of two
masked burglars who visited his
farm about eight o'clock, Wednes-
day evening and assaulted and"
robbed him and broke into a large
safe in his house which was rifled.
Kennedy who was fatally injured
by several blows on the head with
a steel instrument, has not re-
gained consciousness and is not
expected to do So therefore the
details of the robbery are not
known and it is not known wheth-
er the thieves actually secured
any loot or not. Whether Ken
nedy kept any money in the safe
is not known but it is generally
believed that he kept his money in
the Outlook bank.
Kennedy was not alone when
the robbery occurred, but had a
hired man, an old man, on the
place bv the name of A. Medders,
father of Roy Medders, a Plenty

YANKEES WIN
WORLD SERIES
Take Four Straight from Pittsburgh
Pirates-NatiOnal League Leaders
Apparently Burned out from Hard
Pennant Race.

New York, Oct. 1O.-With the ex-
ception of the final game, the 1927
world series passed into the realm of
baseball history as a dull spectacle,
yet many records were broken.
Doubtless, the better ball club won
the series. The Yankees outplayed
and overpowered the Pirates, who APP
peared to be physically and mentally
burned out from the terrific pace they
were obliged to travel in order to win
the National League flag.
Only five hurlers were used by the
Yanks during the series which is one
of the remarkable records set and
such capable Fingers as Shocker,
Reuther, Thomas and Shawkey were
not used to deliver a single pitch in
the argument.
Babe Ruth with two circuit clouts
and several singles was the hero of
the series.
