HANKINSON WINS—

FERGUS SUNDAY
The B-W ball team went to!
Hankinson yesterday to embalm
that Hankinson wrecking crew.
They had already pronounced
Iheni dead and so was going to
put the finishing touches on yes
terday. But, alas! ihe greatest of
miracles that ever happened in
these parts for years. The corpse
woke up and kicked the old rough
box to pieces before they were
embalmed. The pall bearers had
been arranged for, but when they
realized that there old hope and
pal was still alive and kicking,
they yelled so hard and long that
the storm clouds began to gather

woke up the heavens and the
crape that the boys took alone,

Tlie splinters off that rough
box must have got. into the play

where else, but for the real ac
count we do not know, but the"
score it was 15 to in favor o!v'

It was an awful roundup of the
locals. First came the lassoing by
the cowpunehers but the way the
locals broke and stampeded was
a crime. They stood up there and
swung their bats like a Guernsey
going after Hies. They iiielded
and liirowed the ball as if they
had the colic, but nevertheless it
