Again the home boys pulled
off a victor}* by a score of 8 to
.'!. on the Pierz diamond Sunday afternoon. It was a gc-n-
tlemens' game from start to

A large crowd was in attendance. The Buckman bunch,
like our own team, are fine
young men and put up a good
clean game.
The True Blues.
Ah, here we have it. Just
the clear dope. You can take
it from us that there is no more

it "True Blues.'' The line up
follows:

CORONER SERVES    WILL ORGANIZE      GOOD RULES
WEATHER AND
LEGAL PAPERS. A NEW BAND.       TO REMEMBER.   MARKET REPORTS.
1st
New Rabbit Law.
One of the first acts of the
recent adjourned legislature was
the repeal of the law making it
illegal to hunt rabbits with
ferrets in certain Minnesota
counties. The law has been in
effect about two years. The
orchard has no worse euemies
than rabbits and mice and they
should be destroyed in every
possible way. Their increase
in certain sections have been
due in part to—
(1) The   recent repealed law.
(2) The posting of grounds
forbidding shooting, and
(8) The killing of hawks,
owls, and other natural enemies
of rabbits, gophers and mice.
The fourteenth report of the
state entomologist, issued last
December, has an illustrated
article on rabbits and mice,
which suggests methods of destroying them or of preventing
injury from them.
Lost a Foot.
A former student of the Little
Falls business college, but later
employed in a gravel pit at
Westport, lost his foot last
week.    The Transcript says:
Ed. Whippier, formerly a
student at the local business
college and employed at the
West hotel in this city, had his
foot so badly crushed under a
car at Westport Friday afternoon that amputation was necessary. He was employed iu
a gravel pit at Westport and
attempted to swing onto a caboose. He missed the step and
one foot was caught under the
car. He was brought to this
city as soon as possible and
taken to Brainerd where the
foot was amputated above the
ankle.
< oroner Chance and P. W.
Lyons were here Tuesday fore
noon    on    legal     busim A
chattel mortgage foreclosure
sale by the sheriff or his deputy,
had been billed to take place at
one o'clock that afternoon. It
seems that at the last hour the
mortgagee decided to redeem his
property, and accordingly had
the coroner serve notice on the
deputy sheriff.
The coroner is the only county
official who can serve legal
notices on the sheriff.
In 1898 the coroner of Yellow
Medicine county, committed
suicide. The perplexing question who should conduct the in-
puest then came up. If our
memory is correct, the county
attorney officiated- Hut what
would have to be done if the
county attorney and the coroner
formed a suicide pact?

A Small Fire.
A small Are occurred in John
Boehm's barber shop, in the
Schwauke building at 8 o'clock
Tuesday morning. John started the gasoline lamp under the
water heater as usual and went
to get a pail of water. When
he returned, he found the lamp
and the woodwork and shelves
in the right front corner of the
room ablaze. The tire department turned out and soon put
an end to the ambitious flames.
The damage of about $i00 is not
covered by insurance.
