Mr. ‘Ree@ . expréssed himself as ex- ceedingly well satisfied with the pa- tyonage his ibank is securing at the hands of the residents of Cohas- set and surrounding country. He Envies Jeffers. Homer Wright, after reading in the Herald-Review of the howling suc- cess of Ed. Jeffers as a chicken man, has about decided to stray from the more Jowly paths to riches, and also enter the chicken business. And today, while it is not generally known, he has eggs of high degree in course of incubation. However he is going about this chicken business with a far-away look in his eye. He has a cabbage patch on the Fletcher estates that Will raise cabbages in plenty.

Mr. Gillmore still retains a residence here which was partially consumed by a re- cent fire, the origin of which re- mains a mystery. Was the Man Drowned? The indications point to the drown- ing of a laborer named Ed. Stevens in Jay Gould lake Tuesday night of lapt_ week. Stevens thad been in the employ of Callahan & Skelly on the town road south of Cohasset, and after supper of that date he came here by boat via Jay Gould lake and the Mississippi river. At a late hour Tuesday night he started on the re- turn trip. He failed ito shdw up at camp the next morning, and on Wed- ynesday his empty boat was found adrift on the lake. Stevens had some wages coming from his employers and the theory that he might have lef the community is not credited. The missing man is quite well known about Deer River where he made headquarters for-a number of years while working in nearby lumber camps. He had twice been sent to the Fergus Falls hospital for ‘the insane from Itasca county cour the last time being about two years ago. He was -about forty years of age. Later— Word has been received that the pody of Stevens has been found float- ing in Jay Gould lake. oa RE SIE : | Cohasset 5, Floodwood 3. One of the best base ball games of the season played in this section was pulled off at Floodwood last Sun- day between Cohasset and Floodwood. Seven straight innings were played without a score. Up to the eighth Co- hasset had only succeeded in landing two imen at first base and the same Was the case with Floodwood. Both teams played good ‘ball and it was an interesting game throughout. With two men on bases Walter Va- shaw drove home a two-bager scor- ing the two men running. In the eighth inning both teams scored three runs, which was follawed in the ninth by two for Cohasset while Floodwood failed to connect, leaving the score 5 to 3. Manager Wright of the Cohasset club.says the Floodwood boys are princes, good ball players and took their defeat like genuine sports. He also says his aggrega- tion feels that they are not afraid to tackle anything in this territory and would prefer to slide one over to Grand Rapids in preference to any ether team now in the arena. The line-up of Sunday’s game was as follows: Cohasset Position Floodwood Henry Bracket Pitcher Coucher E. Vashaw Catcher Williams Johnston Ist Base Hines W. Vashaw 2nd Base Ottawane Konkle Shortstop Zimm F. Bracket 3rd Base Couchee Mercer Right Field Merrier Kroty Center Field = McCormick Joe Mix Left Field Augea Proposed for a Park. The northeast corner of the South Cohasset townsite is a natural park of surpassing beauty. It is provided! with a river front on two sides, and @s the tract lies today in natura’d garb it needs but little of the handi- work of man to make it the most at- tractive outing place to be found hereabouts, where natural parks are availiable on every hand. There is considerable talk of an effort being made to secure this tract for a Co- hagset village park, but the owners would hesitate to let it go for that purpose, in all probability, as it is also one of the most desirable mill sites now available. The men who own ‘this ideal piece of land, which the cludes about seven ‘acres, are some of Cohasset’s foremost business hust~ lers, ang they appreciate its commer- cial value to the community as well as its value for park purposes. Nego- tiations are now pending with parties for the establishment of a mill at this point. Pasturage. Good pasture for horses andcattlé near Cohasset and 3% miles from Grand Rapids.
