COUNCIL HOLDS SPECIAL MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT The village council held a special meeting in the assembly room at the town hall Tuesday night. The meeting was for the purpose of arranging a settlement with J. H. Frederick and T. E. Oawns, both residents of North Main street, where they claim damage wax done to their property when the Htreet was paved.

R. Mitchell, manager of the Ford Sales, this week. The game was cancelled on account of actual facts received by the local manager concerning the ;-.iris' team. Manager Mitchell, however, has several prospects for a game on that date und Amherst fans will be able to witness a first-class game. The St. Peters basketball teams took two games Monday evening when the* St. Peters girls defeated, the high school girls by a score of 18 to 1 and the St. Peters boys winning from So. Amherst by a score of 27 to 10. The girts game was closely contested in the first quarter, the high school girls having a lead of one point which was the only scoring of the period. Martha Egli was shifted from the center position to a forward position in the second quarter and tn this period caked three field goals. The last half was also the scene of more scoring for the church girls, as the;, managed to score three field goals, '.Martha Egli making two and Lillian Ruesler one. , The high girls were handicapped In the last quarter as I'tppert wjui out of the game on account of injury- However, It was not probable that the high girls would have held their opponents as she plays a forward position. The boys' game was perhaps the most interesting feature of the even- in*, although the church boys had the best of the game throughout. Both teams played fast ball but the South Amherst lads were weak at shooting. The score at the end Of the first half enabled the church outfit to run In all of their subs, thus giving the South Amherst boys an equal opportunity, but the subs proved to be as alert as the regulars. Becker and Raesler of the church aggregation were the chief scorers, while Von Kennel of the South Amherst outfit scored most of their points.

R. Mitchell, manager of the Ford Sales, this week. The game was cancelled on account of actual facts received by the local manager concerning the ;-.iris' team. Manager Mitchell, however, has several prospects for a game on that date und Amherst fans will be able to witness a first-class game. The St. Peters basketball teams took two games Monday evening when the* St. Peters girls defeated, the high school girls by a score of 18 to 1 and the St. Peters boys winning from So. Amherst by a score of 27 to 10. The girts game was closely contested in the first quarter, the high school girls having a lead of one point which was the only scoring of the period. Martha Egli was shifted from the center position to a forward position in the second quarter and tn this period caked three field goals. The last half was also the scene of more scoring for the church girls, as the;, managed to score three field goals, '.Martha Egli making two and Lillian Ruesler one. , The high girls were handicapped In the last quarter as I'tppert wjui out of the game on account of injury- However, It was not probable that the high girls would have held their opponents as she plays a forward position. The boys' game was perhaps the most interesting feature of the even- in*, although the church boys had the best of the game throughout. Both teams played fast ball but the South Amherst lads were weak at shooting. The score at the end Of the first half enabled the church outfit to run In all of their subs, thus giving the South Amherst boys an equal opportunity, but the subs proved to be as alert as the regulars. Becker and Raesler of the church aggregation were the chief scorers, while Von Kennel of the South Amherst outfit scored most of their points.
