Third Elks Firemen game set for Labor Day clash
The third Elks versus Firemen baseball game of the season is scheduled for Labor Day September 4 at 3 pm. Elks, who lost the first two games, rely on manager G Lindemann to teach them strategies while J C Marsh and T A Tack lead the rooting. Firemen vow a hard fight after two defeats. Also notes: a barn fire at Stratford destroyed the barn and a saloon with losses totaling $2,800, and ongoing iron prospecting near Sherry and Rudolph despite no funding yet. A Bucklen’s Arnica Salve testimonial from Te konsha, Mich., compliments its healing power for cuts and burns.
