Though Stewart and Ode-kir- k both got on bases, two strikeouts and a put out at first ended the inning, and from then on Shields, the Myton pitcher, was never seriously threatened thruout the game. Myton made five runs off Carman in the first four Innings of the game; six in the fifth and two in the sixth, off Casper, and two in the ninth off Kielbasa.

Id in on Feb. 24th, by Basin Po.it No. 64 of the American Legion, as Mr. Hunt is a World War veteran. Last week, Mrs Hunt received a message from her son, saying that he had heard through friends of his supposed death and burial and that he would be home within a few days. The friends had Darned that he was si ill alive through a chain letter he had forwarded. He arrived in Upalco last Thursunbelieve-abl- e day to give proof to the message. Whose body lies buried in tin; Mt. Emmons cemetery is still a mystery, the only light so far shed on the subject being the information that a Mr. Ben L.
