Everything at present Indicates
that La Otundo is soon to have a

The football boys who returned last
evening from Joseph, cannot find a
sufficient numVr of adjectives to ex
press their appreciation of the royal
entertainment they received at the
hands of the Joseph people. In fact,
they received a royal welcome at every
point along the line, and received Invi
tation's for games from every town.
No one had better knock Wallows
county in the presence of these boys.
