him, running shoulder to shoulder
at the Princeton end. AS they
neared him No. cut him down, in

The effective part of the play was

that side. This cleared the way for

LONE MOUNTAIN JIM"
 SOLVES MOSQUITO PROBLEM

Seven and one-half pounds of mos quitoes! Did you ever weigh that many at one time?
 A few weeks ago James Robinson, better known by his cronies as "Lone Mountain Jim," was evidently over- taken by spirit of mathematical curiosity He took the windows out of his cabin on Timber creek, spread old buhac on the floor and let things go that way for the whole week. At the final he closed the door, swept the floor and put the contents into flour sack. The sweepings filled the sack that satisfied that much of his curios- ity. And when he weighed the sack and contents the steelyards turned over seven and one-halfTpounds. This, at least. is the story brought to town by Joe Ferris and Joe .Rlanchell, who returned here last Tuesday from a visit to that section.
