Afraid of Our Boys
The Wilburton foot-ball team
accepted the challenge of Krebs
and went to Hartshorne to play
them on Sunday afternoon but
for a good and sufficient reason
their opponents didn’t show up
An effort was first made to get

they refused agreeing to meet our
boys on the middle-ground at
Hartshorne Park Their failure
to put in an appearance proved
that they were afraid of a good
drubbing which was certainly in
store for them
Fresh groceries fruits and veg-
etables received at Chester’s every
day The motto of this store is
“quick sales and small profits”

many clients

out of the mine and died several

He was 25 years old and was a
