While in the city the past week,
John Kinsman was negotiating with
Henry Schwarz for the purchase of'
the People's Cash Market. A deal
was not made, however, but Mr. Kins
man seems to have a hankering to get

people desire to get back again.
A little game of base ball was play

The Heppner lads returned home ad

Heppner team is concerned there was
no score while the Lexington boys pil
ed up some 26 runs. There should bo
some good team work and practice on
the part of the Heppner team if they
expect to go out nnd get anything and
we hope to see this accomplished.
