There are two young gentlemen out
here from Kentucky on a prospecting
expedition who will not want to attend
another roundup. They were friends
of I. s. Proctor, former citizen of
the Blue Grass state and had expressed
q desire to go on the roundup, to learn
the cattle business, as they said. All
right, said the jolly Proctor, and he
took them When assigned to duty inn
agine the surprise of these two KEN
lucky gentlemen when one was assign
ed chief cook of the outfit and the other
as horse herdet. "D-n my hawt, {"
said the cook, in relating his experience
TO the INDEX, eff them fellahs didn't
eat noah truck than any set of
havastahs that evan fed, and instead
OF me being allowed to tide around
with the boys and fiirt with the beauti-
ful maidens one encountahs around a
cattle ranch, begad, sab, was COM
PEELED to fry greasy side meat and cook
great hunks of corn bread, and by CAD,
sab, quit the job" The other thor
oughbred said that he knew all about
herding bosses and didn't want to learn
more about the business, and so he
threw up his job. And now the round
up boys are having big laugh at the
expense of the Kentucky gentlemen.

. The Cresset OF yesterday published n
sensational item about u whole FAM

hole south of town, and would have il
appear that the circumstances was re-
markable, when in fact it was not. The
truth Of the matter is that nearly every
day we hear Of such catastrophes occur
ring on the different roads leading into
town; but out of friendship for tn e
township trustee aud the road overseer
we have invariably suppressed the
items.

or three witnesses was taken Tuesday !;
the case continued until Wednesday
when the counsel became engaged in a
fight over the admission of certain tes-
timony-that OF Shipman before the

The proposition to consolidate Mes
eutunga and Coldwater has fallen
through. 1t appears that the Coldwater
people would not agree to move any
further east, though they did offer the
Nescutunga town company a half in
terest in the Coldwater townsite if they
would move over. This proposition
was not satisfactory and so the two
places are to be built up, if possible.
Next thing there will be red-hot coun-
ty seat war.
