The report highlights key players such as George Bangwela, Slughes, Langhold, and Mager, and notes adjustments, crowd mood, and the outcome tied to the seventh inning ahead of a forthcoming rematch.
An unclear recount describes a wrestling style incident in Belvidere Washington where a pitcher misacted and struck a rival on the head causing facial injuries.

Witnesses recount Wild Bill Boles' showdown, Ike and Lily Pky handling a six shooter amid a chaotic night, ending with a remarkable misfire and a recovered revolver.
A garbled report mixes a sensational murder verdict with disjointed notes on prohibition era figures, political figures, and a funeral service.

After a lengthy break, the school prepares for reopening. Repairs include woodwork, windows, doors readjusted, and playground surfaces improved with crusted coatings. A new merit-based reward and changes to staff accompany the return, with emphasis on student diligence and orderly study.
A fragmentary news item discusses marriage plans and temperaments, citing Dr. Young on mating for strong issue.

The council also planned a Finance Committee session next week to consider street and public works bids.
