That is the game was hotly contested for by the Bumpers but : they could do most anything but bump the ball. Up to the sixth inning the aforesaid Bumpers hadn't yet knocked i any dust off of the bases, but in the sixth managed to get one man around. In the eighth they took another spurt and run in five which made a sum total । of six, which represented the result of their labors for the day. The Swipers throughout the whole , game had things their own way, in fact

they thought that it was just like playing alone. The Swipers had some compassion for the other side, however, and for fear of making them feel too bad only run up 18 scores. Modest Rascal Who Operates in and About Walkerton. Mr. E. I. Leibole, of Walkerton, was in the city Saturday looking for the South Bend Art college, which he had been led to believe was located at 207 West ' Jefferson street. As a memorandum of the object of his search and the street

number mentioned he exhibited a receipt, written in pencil on a blank form, 1 of which the following is a copy: Walkerton, Aug. 5. 1897. Received of Mrs. IL I. Leibole 50 cents | in full for cost of advertising picture, 20x24, in water colors. S .50cts. paid. So. Bend Art College. 207 W. Jefferson. At the time the money mentioned in

the receipt was paid to the man who received it in the name of the South Bend Art college, a picture was given to him of which Mr. and Mrs. Leibole valued more than many times the amount paid. It was a picture of one of their children, now dead, and could not be replaced. That was more than three weeks ago and they have seen nothing since of the picture, the man or their money. Mr. and Mrs. Leibole are only two of many victims similarly worked in and about Walkerton. The operator pretended to be seeking pictures of members of prominent families to be enlarged in water colors and then exhibited in the South Bend Art college, after which the people might have them free of charge, except that he would have to ask them for 50 cents in advance to pay express, postage, etc. Investigation here shows 207 West Jefferson street to be a part of the First Methodist church and no such institution as the South Bend Art college is known. —South Bend Sunday News.
