water Jug. He drank therefrom and be
came deathly sick. He was brought to
Colby for medical assistance and IS in =
fair way for recovery.
J.C. Hollis. Of Chardon, Ohio, has been
here with q view to catching on to some
OF Thomas county's valuable land. We
hope ne may be induced to settle amongst
us. rs the sight of his nice silk plug lat
had = tendency TO make the boys think OF
eg-s and til :. they would have to give up
some OF their cherished institutions such
as draw poker and progressive euchre.
Silk hats are the fore runners OF the dude
period.
The lightning struck the stable of l..
| NJ. Rood of Wendall township, last Fri
day night, killing both his horses. Mr..
Rood had just returned from Sherman
county, putting his horses in the stable
but few moments before the lightning
struck the stable. Mr.. Rood is left with
| out Il team and without means to pur-
chase another. The CAT office will re-
ceive contributions for him. as we believe
him to be a worthy man. Send in your
contributions whether large or small.
The New Tecumseh makes an unwar-
| rantable attact on j. w. Allen and A. L..
| Tomblin in last week issue. }. w. Al
len is well known throughout western
| Kansas as first-class man in every par
ticular. and is noted for his ''get-there-
Eli proclivities. We have been ac-
uuainted with Capt. ever since we can
| remember and know whereof we speak
when we say that Sherman county needs
lots of such men as Opt. Allen. Moth
ing that the New Tecumseh can say will
injure the reputation of A. l.. Tomblin
or J. W. Allen, but rather work to thei1
advantage.
