To the Editors of the TINES.
The weather continues hot and every.
body perspiring tbut Pratt.I The shady
side OF buildings is in demand. YESTERDAY
was the hottest day of the season so far.
the mercury standing at 1U2 deg.
Ii is not often that the citizens of Spear
vile get excited or they might get on
their ears; but the fact that il is possible
for them 10 be wakened up from the gen,
eral routine of every day life was fully
demonstrated yesterday. Some few Of
our citizens conceived the idea that we
were as town becoming immense. and
I in order to keen up our dignity We should
incorporate. To think WAS to act and soon
petition to our Probate court was going
| the rounds. Quite number signed it be-
| fore they gave the subject thought; but
large majority of those interested as tax
PAYERS saw at once the aDsurdity of the
| project and were not backward in express
ing their views The idea of a town where
| il would be impossible to find within its
| limits more than Is legal voters is prepos,
/ terous.
The law and order society of Spearville
is in a prosperous condition and affords
ample protection 10 our citizens without
| incorporating.
Bradley d Brush from LarDed have
| rented the building formerly occupied by
jackson Il Gleason and are opening up "a
saloon and billiard hall. They have Pc
tltiOn for license III clfcuiarion.
Our town continues in the law business
Yesterday Mr.. Gusten West of town was
arrested and brought before his honor }.
Z. Vanvoorhis. charged with stealing
railroad ties. A very weak case was made
out against him and he was fined IS and
costs. / Understand another party IN the
East End Is to be arrested for the same
oiiense. From what learn if they calcn-
late arresting every one that has used old
Ties large majority of those living along
the road will have to be arrested.
Building is going on rapidly. MIS-. Me-
Michael has during the past week bad i
building l2x2S built on her lot on Main
street to be used as a millinery estabiish>
ment.
We hear from q reliable source that the
Enterprise is going TO take Il change l
believe Swan steps down and out and
Burns Il Wilkinson viii take charge.
; They intend buying press and doing their
own printing at home.
Dispositions IN the Quick-Niccois contest
case are beng taken before his Royal
Highness n. G. Jones. \. +.
Ii is an iDdisputable fact that our worthy
Justice j. F. did actually have in his POS
session yesterday petition for a dram
shop license for VIM. Bradley. Don't tell
any one we want to keep it q secret.
n Livengood Bros. have sold their meat
shop to parties from Larned. They have
. quite a lot of good cattle and intend keep
