Claims Baseball Record
For ZumbrOta Busher

Kenyon-How well do you know
your baseball records? Adolph
Anderson, ardent baseball fan
from Zumbrota is so confident that
Art Hanson, Zumbrota first sack
er, established one the other day
with his "four for four" hitting
and errorless day in the field that
he has offered a prize of ten dol
lars to the person showing him
positive proof that Hanson's rec
ord has ever been equalled in or
ganized baseball. According to
Anderson's account, Fl chances,
three of them exceptionally diff
cult, were cleanly handled for
put-outs by Hanson in a ball game
between Zumbrota and West Con-
cord, a game won by Zumbrota
to 0 and further featured by the
one-hit pitching performance of
Swenberg, Zumbrota pitcher.
Cleanly handling 81 putouts at
first base and at the same time
batting 1000 with four clean sin
giles, is a record never surpassed
in baseball history, according to
Mr.. Anderson. Feverish coming
of baseball record books will be
in order by those who wish to win
ten dollars and an argument from
Anderson.

Village of 1,8OO Has No
Volunteers For Mayor

Long Prairie wants to be
mayor of Long Prairie? Appar-
emily there is no one in this will
age of over 1900 people who de-
sires the honor, and as a result the
office left vacant by the resigna-
ton of H. C. Wolfarth remains
unoccupied with nothing to indi-
cate it will be filled Immediately.
1t is rumored that the council has
approached several citizens re-
questing them to assume the du-
ties of mayor at least until such
time as the village elections are
held, but thus far the invitation
on the part of the village dads has
been kindly, but none the less
firmly declined. Recorder R. E.
Betch has made public proclaim
alton: eff there is anyone in the
village who desires to become
mayor, he or she should make ap-
plication at once" Former May
or Wolfarth resigned last week,
saying the pressure of his private
business and the condition of his
health would no longer permit him
to continue as head Of the council,
At the present time M. E. Scow is

Warden Blide Releases
Deer After Healing Leg

Hallock- -"Billy" the baby deer
brought in with a broken leg by
Game Warden Blide last spring is
now enjoying himself in the wilds
of the poplar grove, east of Krog-
stads in Hazelton township. Billy
suffered a broken leg when hit by
a car near Karlstad last May. The
bone was set by a local doctor
and the fracture healed rapidly.
Given excellent care by the Blide
children, Billy developed into a
real pet, eating out of the chill
dren's hands and coming when call
ed for his milk. He grew rapid
ly and it was becoming problem
to keep him inside the pen built
for the purpose so it was decided
he had reached the age when he
could care for himself in the
woods. Several deer have been
staying this summer in the heavy
woods in Hazelton township along
the Two river so here with his
comrades, protected by law from
the hunters guns Billy will grow
up to a stays estate.

NO ADJOURNMENT IN SIGHT
contender

Apparently as long as it stays cool
in Washington Congress will be salts
fled to continue at it's slow pace. But
when Old Sol turns on the heat the
President and the Nation can look for
speed. However, discussion has al
ready started on Capitol Hill, in
Washington and throughout the ma
ton as to just when Congress will
adjourn. The answer to the question
is of course that no one knows. Presi-
dent Roosevelt expressed the hope
several weeks ago that adjournment
would come by the end of May. But
that didn't happen. Right now Con-
gressmen are hoping they will be able
to start home by the end of June.
But even to do that will mean crowd
ing much of the New Deal "must"
legislation through in small space
of time. The House could very we'll
adjourn even before that time be-
cause it has shown signs Of life all
during the session and is three or
four major pieces of "must" legisla-
ton ahead of the Senate. Thus the
House is ready to shoot through to an
early adjournment, but what will the
Senate do?

FIRST COUNGRESS HAD
DIFFICULTY WITH MARCHERS

Washington, May 3O.-Congress
literally started running from" march
ers" 153 years ago and figuratively
has been doing it since.
Money-seeking Revolutionary war
veterans originated the marches in
1888. The practice has been followed
from time to time by many groups,
the latest being farmers" and "little
business men" advocating AAA and
NRA legislation.
Three hundred strong the Revolu-
tionary boys marched on the CONT
mental congress and drove it out of
Philadelphia. Thta was the testimony
Of Colonel James E. Cassidy, World
war engineer, which the house
patents committee made public today.
Telling how congress created the
District of Columbia in 1870 for it's
own use as a capital site, Cassidy
said:
"Just following the Revolutionary
war, the congress was seated at
Philadelphia, and the first bonus
march took place, think, June II,
1883, when the revolutionary soldiers
came to congress from Lancaster,
Pa, and demanded pay for their SER
vices, which they had not very much
of during the war.
'"The continental congress called
upon the authorities of Philadelphia
to protect them from the bonus
marchers; and Philadelphia, figura-
lively speaking, told them to go jump
in the creek; that they represented
the general government, and if the
wanted to protect themselves it was
up to them.
"The continental congress, when
Philadelphia did not give them the
protection they asked for, hurriedly
moved the headquarters of the gov
eminent to Princeton, N. j., and then
to New York, where it remained until
March 4, 1889. They did not come
back to Philadelphia until December
s, 1890. A permanent place for the
use of congress was under considera-
ton from 1888 when the bonus
marches started"
The soldiers bonus march of 1882
brought 10000 veterans to crowd the
doorsteps of the Seventy-second con-
gress. President Hoover called out
federal troops to expel them from the
city after rioting broke out.

tai in 1894 by General Jacob S. Coxey

BLOWING ROCK FEE
is YET UNSETTLED

Future plans of lessees of Blowing
Rock proper, outstanding show place
| OF northwestern North Carolina, are
yet unknown, The News-Topic was
advised Saturday by C. H. Bergman,
co-lessee with former Mayor Grover
G.. Robbins.
Mr.. Bergman and Mr.. Robbins
hold five-year lease on the rock,
obtained two years ago from the late
]. M. Bernhardt. In civil issue heard
last week, compromise judgment
was rendered prohibiting the charg-
ing of toll fees on the road leading
from No. II highway to the entrance
of the J. C. Ford and the Bernhard
property.
Details of the compromise settle
ment show that the present road over
the Bernhard property from the cor
porate limits of the Town of Blowing
Rock to the present entrance of the
Ford property and the Bernhard
property is dedicated and opened to
the public. Beyond the entrances, the
property is to remain the private
property of the owners, and no toll
gate is to be placed on the road, and
no tickets to the rock proper will be
sold on the road by either of the
property owners.
It is stated that the Bernhard and
Ford properties join at point near
the famous rock, but the road does
not touch the actual rock.
The Bernhardt estate was repre-
scented in the action by Folger l..
Townsend, with Baxter M. Linney
representing the lessees. Squirting
and Meekins, of Lenoir, and Mr.. Hol-
shouser Of Blowing Rock represented
J. c. Ford, the plaintiff. The compro-
mise was reached after more than a
day was spent in hearing evidence.

BILLY: SUNDAY MAY
NEVER PREACH AGAIN

Billy Sunday, militant evangelist
who is known and loved by thousands
of Winston-Salem people where he
held revival several years ago, has
in all likelihood reached the end of
his colorful and at the same time
eventful career. AS has been noted,
while holding meeting in Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, he sustain a stroke
which incapacitated him from further
work and Billy Sunday may never
preach again.
The following concerning the fam
ous evangelist is taken from the
Chattanooga News:
"Past 70, broken in health, Billy
Sunday ended what may be his last
revival, Sunday, when he spoke, fall
teringly and weakly, from the pulpit
of the First Baptist church in Chatta-
nooga. He enters Mayo's at Roches-
ter, Mimi, for treatment. Perhaps he
will never preach again.
Billy Sunday is poor man, in
worldly goods, DR.. Hughes of the
First Baptist church, revealed. The
$1,447 which he was given for the re-
vival here is badly needed by him to
pay his hospital expenses. Most of
those huge purses-the 100000 in
New York, the $4,000 in Chicago,
for instance-never reached Mr.. Sum
days hands, but were earmarked for
charitable purposes by him even be-
fore the revivals began.
"There are many thousands of hap
DIV women and children in America
today who say their proyers for Billy
Sunday because he saved their hus-
bands and fathers from drunkards'
graves.
Gwen if he never breaches again
Billy Sunday has taken his place with
Beecher, with Moody, with Sam Jones
and othres of the great evangelists.
We were among those who did not
particularly like some of his pulpit
methods. We also think he is provin-
cial in some of his views, especially
regarding international affairs. But
how content anyof us would be to
know that our paeg in the Big Book
is as bright and shining as is Billy
Sundays.
"Hhas this former big league base
ball player ended his run around the
bases? Has he, at last, reached home
base for the last time? He was weak
and faltering and gasping here in thu
First Baptist church and he had tx
slide for the base. But We can hear
the voice of the Great Umpire as HI
gives His decision-'He's safe q
homer"
The evangelist, following his meet
ting in Chattanooga which woult
nave extended into June, had an en-
gagement to open meeting in Den
yer, Colo, and early next year he wa
scheduled to hid meeting in Ashe
