CONTINUED From Page One)

Paul singled and sent Wiesner to
third, from where he scored on Jud-
kin's hit. Paul was safe at third
and scored when Tetzlaff, catcher
for Samaritans, threw the ball to
second base to catch a runner. The
second baseman did not come to the
sack to receive the throw and the
ball went to center field. This was
the poorest play of the entire game.
Butler flew out to Thorn.
Sank Centre made another score
in the fourth. Butler grounded
out; Iwinski singled and went to
second on a passed ball, and adj
yanced to third on Gilbert's single
over second. He scored on a passed
ball. Frank and Soltau struck out
to retire the side.
The visitors were unable to score
during the remainder of the game,
although they threatened several
times. Sank Centre, however, made
two more scores in the eighth.
Wolfe opened with hard ground
er to third and went to second
when Tetzlaff threw wild to first.
Paul singled sending Wolfe to
third. He stole second and judi
kins went out short to first. But
Ter came through with a clean hit
to centre scoring both Wolfe and
Paul. Iwinski struckout and Gill
bert popped out to the pitcher.
This was the ninth victory in ten
starts for the locals. The team
was considerably strengthened for
Sundays game when players were
changed about to positions at which
they played much better. Both the
in and outfield were stronger than
at any time during the season.
Tetzlaff, the Samaritan catcher,
received bad injury to his hand
and Leo Miller went in to catch for
them. Leo did very good job.
During the ten games played this
season the local players scored IS

Searchers Find
Body Of Howard
Mexican Makes misconceptions
tificatiOn Is Made By Tucson
Sheriff.

Tucson, Ariz., June 23-The long
hunt for the Rev. Thomas w. How
ard "a years old, for years cir
cult rider in Northern Minnesota
had ended today in the mountains
west of here.
In a crevasse only go feet from a
long abandoned mining road his
body was found. He had been dead
many weeks. It was there his wond-
erings had led him when he left
here June saying he was going to
hunt for "old friend" in the desert
country.
The body was dicovered by Louis
E. Wales, Mexican. Sheriff James
Macdonald said Identification was
through handkerchief bearing the
initials, eft. w. H." and descrip.
ton of the aged preacher.
A son Major Earl c. Howard, OF
Wheaton, Mimi, publisher, recently
led a search in Arizona deserts.
There were no tracks near where
the body lay, making impossible a
reconstruction of the death scene
Deputy sheriffs said apparently
Howard, reaching the ravine, per.
haps deciding there was water al
the bottom, attempted to descend
lost his footing and fell, rolling to
the bottom.
Wales, who found the body, told
officers he had spent all his time
during the last six weeks searching
for the missing man. II was out Of
work and needed the money" he
said referring to reward of $1O(
offered by the Howard family
shortly after the minister dis.
appeared.
Governor Theodore Christensen
of Minnesota requested Governor
John c. Philips of Arizona to cal
out company of National Guard
to aid in searching the barren de
sert country where it was believed
Howard had wandered. This was
not alone done as at the time sew
eral score Indian runners directed

vicinity.

Tribute to An Old Friend
(By DR.. J. A. DuBoiS)

(By DR.. j. A. DuBOiS)
In the passing of James Jenkins
a man has departed from our midst
who is justly entitled to our re-
gard and remembrance. To a far
greater degree, I believe, than we
so frequently bestow upon those
who by fortuitous possession of
wealth, or guided wholly by self
interest, by their skill in posing
have been successful in attracting
the public eye.
Mr.. Jenkins was one of the few
remaining veterans of the Civil
War; and the greater part of his
life was lived in this community.
During all these years he has been
just one of our common citizens.
But he possessed in his character
certain attributes than which there
are none more necessary to the ad-
vancement of our civilization. He
can be portrayed in single SEN
tence: He was ever faithful to the
responsibilities placed upon him.
Deprived of the cultural advantages
that come to many, he devoted his
energies to the work of his hands.
And the granite slab which in our
cemetery will mark the resting
place of his mortal remains, will
not be more enduring or so sug-
gestive of this man as the stone
foundations of many of the build
ings in our city, to the construction
of which in the old days he so skill
fully and conscientiously applied his
efforts.
His last expression to me not very
long before his death, was when in
reply to my question, he answered:
20, am all right" Somehow or
other, James Jenkins, I cannot di-
vest myself of the opinion that it
is indeed all right with you.
