BASE BALL
1
Season Inaugurated Saturday By
a Came Between Sibley and
Worthington High
School Teams.
Sibley Snatches Victory From De­
feat in Eighth liming. Game
Closely Contested.
The 1907 base ball season in Wor­
thington was inaugurated last Sat­
urday afternoon at the fair grounds
by a game between the Worthington
•and Sibley High School ball
teams. The game was called at
3:30
and proved a very exciting contest
to the very last. From the second
inning the game stood 2 to 1 in fav­
or of Worthington up to the eighth
inning, when the visitors by a few
luok and well placed hits and a
number of costly errors on tbe part
ot the home team succeeded
in running in four tallies, mak­
ing the 8cor to 2 in favor of Sib­
ley. The Worthington boys in
their succeeding turns at the bat
were unable to even up the score.
The game was a spirited contest
throughout. Both batteries did fine
work and the fielding, with a few
exceptions, was all that could be de­
sired. Both teams were light at the
bat, wich largely accounts for the
low score. Worthington this year
has a very promising High School
base ball team, and with practice in
stick work should prove winners.
The following is the lineup of the
two teams:
Sibley. Pos. Worthington!
C. Strickler pitcher H. Gray
W. Garbeson catcher S. Lawton
J. Hanon 1st base A. Bedford
G. Carlson 2nd baae- C. flagg&rd

Injured By a Fall
The many friends of Mrs. Otis
Bigelow, Sr., will be grieved to
learn that she sustained a serious
and very painful injury in a fall on
the pulpit steps in the Methodist
Church last Friday evening. She
sustained a fracture of the hipbone,
an injury so serious that at her
advanced age recovery will be
slow, if it is attained at all. She
is suffering much pain, bnt every­
thing thai medical science can do
is being done to ease her suffering.
Mark Marden has made some nec­
essary improvements on his dwell­
ing on 3rd ave. ..
CALLED HOME
Little Caryl Nance Succumbs to
Spinal Meningitis. Funeral
Held Sunday.
The somber Death Angel last Sat­
urday invaded the home of Mr. and
Mrs. E.L. Nance for a second time
within a month, and summoned
hanee their 10 year old son, Caryl,
who was strioken with spinal men­
ingitis about four weeks before.
After like first week of the illness
the little fellow improved consider­
ably and hopes were entrtained. of
his recovery, but these hopes were
shortlived, and after a few days
gain he suffered a relapse and failed
gradually until the end, which eame
last Saturday afternoon. The fun­
eral was held on Sunday afternoon
from the Nance home on Grand av­
enue. Reverend J. E. Evans con­
ducted the service, which was held
on the lawn, and was attended by a
large number of the frinds of the
family. Interment was mad in the
Worthington cemetery.
The loss of their second son so
soon after the death of their baby is
a very severe blow to the bereaved
parents, who in their sad affliction
nave the heartfelt sympathy of the
entire community.
MYSTERIOUS FIRE
Dwelling Belonging to John Ro
nan Gutted By Flames Last
Friday Morning.
The fire department was called out
fcjpipb o'clock Friday morning by a
fire iu an unoccupied dwelling be­
longing to John Rouan, located north
of 7th avenue and west of the Rock
Island track. The fire was discover­
ed the engineer on an. incoming
Omaha tram, ^fib sounded the alartn
on- hi? engine- whistle. The alarm
was taken up'Alt the power bouse, and
tbe department responded with cus­
tomary promptness, and although
the building was all afire on the in­
side the firemen succeeded in saving
a pait ol ihe uutbide walls.. The ori­
gin of the fire is a mystery, as the
building had been unoccupied for
sometime. The loss is about $350,
partly insured.
WORTHINGTON MILL SOLD
F. H. Matheson of Elk, is the
New Owner of M. J. Bar­
ber's Interest.
M. J. Barber, who recently look
over the management of the Worth­
ington Roller Mills, has gold his half
interest in that coucern to F. A.
Matheson, of Elk township, who took
possession on Monday, and is now
operating the mill. The new man­
ager is an aggressive business man
and will bend his energies to build­
ing up a good business for the mill.
To do this he will make a few neces­
sary improvements and will turn out
a product that is bound to give satis­
faction. The mill has an up to-date
equipment throughout, and is capa­
ble of turning out flour that is equal
to the best made in Minnesota, and
that is saying a good deal, for Min­
nesota flour is famous the world over.
Mr. Barber received largely farm
lands in exchange for his interest.
Two Carloads of Buggies.
The Western Implement Co. this
week unloaded two carloada of bug
gies and vehicles, which are being
displayed in their new buggy reposi
tory. These goods were bought
very close and have been marked to
sell accordingly. They are of well
known standard makes and reliable
goods. This company is enjoying a
prosperous trade and is enlarging its
stock in many lines.
A kicking horse, a crowing hen, a
barking dog, a young girl or a
young man stuck un themselves are
all harmless when compared with
a measly, little town "knocker"
who is never happy only when he is
imonhing on some public necessity
or improvement. The empty silli
ness of their oriticisms is a sort of
emetio to a decent mind.

than is usually crowed into an eve­

of the church provided a splendid
supper served at tables in royal
style.
Following the regular snpper the
"stunt supper" was served. A
number of contestants entered but
the most of them halted at the

Cookies were not in special favor
and few oared for coffee sweetened
with salt. This part of the program
also furnished fun in abunance.
Everybody voted the,1'StuntSocial''

Will Help Roadmaking.
Another step in the direction of
good roads was taken by the house.
on Saturday when the bill provid­
ing for the appointment of a coun­
ty superintendent of highways and
the abolition of the present office of
county surveyor, The, superinten-
tent enigneer and a road builder.
The office of road overseer in the
townships is abolished and in its
place a road inspector is elected for
the whole township.
Another new thing in the billwas
that at the town election the elect­
ors are to vote on the question
whether the road taxes shall be
paid in money, bnt this was striok­
en out. At present they may vote
on thia question, but if they do
not vote the old system must be
used.
The bill has been drawn by the
committee on road and bridges and
embodies the recommendations of
the state highway commission that
competent men shall be elected road
inspectors that will help a great
deal toward highway improvement.
In the past many roads have been in
charge of overseers who did not un­
derstand their business.—Ex.
