HORSE WENT HOME Abe Boch’s Family Mare Visited the Snyder Farm Where He Was Raised. OVER NEAR SHELDON Had Never Been Out That Road But Found the Shortest Route. Abe Boch, thew well knonw horseman, recovered his horse Wednesday evening late after a search of a week and the tale is one which proves the ability of an animal to care for herself. This one was the family mare which has been used by Mr. Boch for three years past. She Was raised by John Snyder, who lives near Sheldon, and they kept her for six years. Three I years ago they sold her to a man at Ossian, who sold her to Al Ringle of ; Fort Wayne, and Dan Beery bought | her there and she was brought here. | i.ast Friday she was roaming about in the yard at the Boch farm east of town, when she decided to pay a visit to her childhood home. She trotted steadily out north, through a countryover which so far as can be ascertained she had never been driven and a few hours later whinnied at the gate of the Snyder farm, from where she had been sold three years ago. The folks there were glad to see her and she had a regular picnic for several days. They advertised her in the Fort Wayr e papers and Mr. Boch learning of the fact drove over Wednesday night and got her. Just how the mare knew the route to her old home and figured out the shortest one, has not been figured, but that such was the case has been ascertained.

RMUNGS SUCCESS

Old Decatur Pitcher is the Staton Billy Earl's Bati J t .e Creek Team. pitched great GAME w —- And Then Drove in Four Runs With Four Hits— Team Leads League.

• The sporting page 0* the Battle Creek, Mich., Enquirer of Monday contained an account of a ball game at Bay City Saturday, which was pitched by Tom Railing, who is simply eating that league up this year, to use a sporting term. Battle Creek won by a score of seven to two. Tom gave the Bay City bunch four stingy hits, while his team got ten, out of which Tom got a three-bagger, a two bagge> and two singles. The Battle Creek team leads the league with 667 per cent, while the next one to them is Flint, with 581. The champions are managed by Billy Earle, formerly of Richmond, who is known here, and Henderson, a former player here, is doing the short-stop work for Battle Creek. Speaking of the Saturday game the Enquirer said: “Spured on ? by Tom Railing's masterly pitching the Crickets today downed the Cardinals 7 to 2. Railing was a big stumbling block for the Cardinals, a- - only four hits, well separated, e and making that many himself, his r- drives being responsible for four of d the runs." It looks like the old boy was again coming into his own.
