He knew weekly newspapers having worked for
a dozen or in Arkansas, Missouri and
Iowa And he had something-he had money.
He also had an IDEAL which was to own the
best weekly paper that could be turned off Q

He re-entered Hexterville by the road by
which he had left it, and he tramped in dusty

shoulder, and he passed the yard next to old

a hammock and, as it happened, shelling peas.
"Hellol' he said, and the girl looked up
She got out of the hammock and set the pan
of peas on the grass and went to the fence
Lee saw she was prettier than ever.
Hello she said, smiling at him. Are you
back in Hextervile for good?"

Yes" she laughed.
'Well, I'll see you later if you don't mind"
said Lee, and he walked on toward the town.
week later, with new type and new press,
he got out the first number of the revived Hex
ter County Clarion.
In bold primer on the first page Lee an
nounced the revival of the Clarion, and under
the three lines of this was printed the edi-
torial that had appeared once before: THE

this a head, "Dastardly Outrage" He gave
the article all that was in him. 1t began:
Nine years ago this paper ceased publication
after one of the most cowardly assaults that
ever stained the fair name of the State of
Arkansas. A drunken bully named Rance Blar-
com entered the Clarion Office
THE Clarion came out on Friday and on Sat-
urday about / o'clock Rance Blarcom
pulled up his team in front of the hotel across
the street. He bad shocgun in one hand and
sledge hammer in the ether and he started
across the street toward the Clarion Office.
Lee stood in his doorway, new and glisten-

fingers the triggers, Rance hesitated as
the gun reached the boys shoulder and Lee
laid his cheek against the gun the drunken
hog breeder uttered yell and dropped his
sledge and ran for his weg-n.
The gun in Lees hand spoke twice, and
Rance Blarcom screamed like stuck pig and
grasped his hips and fell forward in the dust
of the street
"Cuss it!' exclaimed Lee, "I always shoot
low with these things"
And suppose he married the girl" said
as Collins ended
"Oh, yes!" Collins said YES; he married
the girl"
And Rance never bothered him after that?"
Gas matter of fact, no." said Collins.
"They picked the shot out of him and he got
sober lying on his belly, and soon as he was
able to walk around he went over to the Clar-
ion office and took a ha1f-page ad for six
months to let folks know how good the Berk-

And did Lee Tarcy ever have to shoot any
body else?" 1 asked.
Well, not many, anyway" said Collins.
One or two, maybe. But nobody that amounts

duck hunting season is only of about
two or three weeks duration in nor
thern Minnesota as the rice lakes and
smaller lakes are frozen over at that
time. Further south the hunting
season continues in full force for sew
months longer. The local ducks, es-
pecially mallards, will have gone south
before the october LIST season opens.
The sportsmen of northern Minnesota
feel that the opening date should be
set back to September 16 and hope
that the president will modify his
order exempting northern Minnesota
from its provisions.
The secretary was also instructed to
take up with our congressman and
other authorities the matter of the in
crease in the Canadian fishing license
fee put into effect this year in the
Quetico park. This fee of $1,000 was
considered prohibitive and will seri-
ously hamper the tourist traffic around
Hunters Island. It is hoped that the
Canadian authorities will place the
fishing license fee at its former figure
of $500 or at least reduce the license
fee to $500 covering fishing on the
international boundary waters for those
who may not wish to go into the in
terror Canadian waters.

brants which was attended by the citi-
zens enmasse, regardless Of political or

from neighboring cities.
At 1870 in the morning, the Rev.
Charles Fox Davis of Minneapolis, and
Rev. William Boyle Of Mora, performed
a wedding ceremony which again
united the couple. A special Golden
Wedding service was used. This SER
vice is considered one of the most
beautiful of marriage rites.
The church had been most hand
somely decorated with cedar, lilacs and
spring flowers. The altar was arranged
in a bower Of flowers. The church
was filled to the doors. Mrs. E. W.
Hanson played the wedding march
Attendants for the happy couple were
Richard Blackhurst and Mrs. Douglas
Nankervis. Douglas Nankervis sang
"At Dawning" and Because" before
the ceremony.
A wedding dinner followed the SER
vices. The tables were also most ar
tistically decorated, pink and white
being the color scheme with lilies OF
the valley predominating. A large
wedding cake appropriately decorated
graced the center of the table.
All children of the couple were
present. They were Mr.. and Mrs
Richard A. Blackhurst and family OF
Dickens, Iowa; Mr.. and Mrs William
Blackhurst and family of Big Lake

Lambert and Chinn, two old time
ball players, appeared In the Ely line
up after few years absence and both
played fine ball. Lambert covering
first, fielded perfectly and made some
very nice plays. Chinn at second
played the same brand of ball that
stamped him as one of the best In
fielders that ever played on the range.
Joldnen at short stop showed consider
able improvement and as the season
goes on he may develop into valuable
man for the hot post. Bill Starkman
played a steady game at third while
the outfield functioned nicely. BouSka
looked much better in the field than
at second while Nicholas, Alfalfa and
Anderson also played a good game and
backed up the infield nicely. Scoop"
Starkman at catch played fine game
behind the bat and he seems to be
showing improvement each game he
plays. Although young as far as base
ball is concerned, Scoop" has proven
in the last two seasons that he is by
far the best catcher in the range
league and is one of the main cogs in
Ely's nine both behind and at the
plate.
Bethune and zebot, the visiting bat
terry, were the highlights of the Mead
owlands team. Bethune, besides pitch
ing fine game that would usually go
for a victory, hit for the circuit In the
fifth inning with one of the longest
home runs ever hit in the local park.
Zebot behind the plate played an ex-
cellent game. Although youngster,
he showed keen baseball knowledge
and worked hard the entire game He
backed up third and first on every
play and was continually on his toes.
Besides Bethune'S home run in the
fifth, Meadowlands did not score un-
til after two men were out in the ninth
inning and this run was scored on an
error.
Ely executed a pretty double play,
Chinn to Jokinen to Lambert, in the
second inning while these fellows
along with the Starkman brothers
picked off several runners on the
| bases. Ely scored their runs in the
| first inning when Chinn was walked
and on very clever execution of base
stealing, he advanced from first to
third on Bill Starkman's bunt. Mich
olas walked and stole second and then
Scoop" Starkman came through with
clean double to drive home both runs.
Ely was robbed of score in the eighth
inning when batted ball that would
have gone for double, hit the UNI
pire and a runner on third was not
allowed to advance.
| Next Sunday the locals journey to
Marble where they should come home
with another victory as Meadowlands
drubbed Marble II to a week ago.

Frank Scott, formerly Of Proctor and

easily tanned them for pets. He says
that they rarely show the Objectionable

BALL
CHAMPS HERE

A championship baseball bat
tie will be staged at Griffith's
Stadium Sunday, when Philadel-
phia Hilldales and the Home
stead Grays, of Pittsburgh, bat
tie here.
Last season the Homestead
team swept through the ranks
of the colored clubs like an
avenging blast and while there
was no championship to be award
ed or diadem to be handed out,
Cum Posey's squad from Pitts
burgh was generally conceded
to rule the rooSt among the
colored diamond representatives.
A great team was that 1880 edi-
ton of the Grays, but the fiery
Posey claims that his present
club eclipses any that he has
previously assembled.
However, everyone does not
agree with Gums assertions and
claims and one of these chaps
is none other than Judy John.
son. manager of the Hilldale
Club.
Last season Judy drew his
stipend from the Golfers of Pc
sey, and in return did all the
third-basing that was necessary
to aid the Grays in bowling
over contenders in every series
that the Pittsburgh team played
against rival colored aggrega'
tlonS.
This season Judy Johnson
joined the forces Of Johnny
Drew, the Hilldale sponsor, and
was given the reins.
That Judy has made good with
bang is evident by the fact
tnat to date the Hilldale Daisies
have rolled up a total Of 40
wins against 8 defeats. Judy
has been pointing his team
toward the series with the Pitts
burgh team. chanting the slogan
of Beat the Grays!"
