Battle River Items.
StUB.

Mr.. VIM. Thornby came up from hi,
ranch on Battle creek on "Wednesday
the 7th. He reports one of the larges,
crops this season ever harvested or
that stream.
They were visited by a light frost OF
the 3rd of October, the first of the sea
son. No damages.
Commissioner w. N. Walker is dowr
with fever and at last accounts was very
sick.
The graders on the railroad cnmmenc
ed work on Monday, the 9Th, grading
north and south from Battle river.
A new town has been started on
Widow McClure's ranch near the cross
ing on the south side Of the river.
Many are moving to the new town.
John Strator will move his store and
postofice down there this week.
Mr.. Thornby says the leading railroad
men predict a good town on Battle river
on account of the beauty Of the valley,
the richness of the soil, and above all
the superior quality of the water.
The surveyors have run a preliminary
line up Battle and Squaw creek. The
object is supposed to be to obtain tim
Der and also to tap the tin mines of the
Harvey district.
