Heretofore the corporate limits of
Medicine Lodge have not covered as
much ground as they should, and espec-
Tally on the south and north. The city
council have, however, remedied the
defect by extending the limits materi-
ally. rs shown by the ordinance adopted
Wednesday night and published here
with. 1t adds the following new terri
tory to the city: Stolp's addition. east
ofShelden and Carmichael's; all of Ham,
mond's addition that has been laid of
into town lots, strip $50 feet deep
along Walnut street, the property pur-
chased by Mrs. Payne from Mrs. Stock
still; bursts. GobeiIle's and McCleary's
additions in the south part of town:
Simmons & FOwler's, and Lakes add
tons southwest; and the Bechtel or de-
pot addition on the west. This will add
greatly TO the taxable wealth of the CITY.
and If the township trustee can only be
induced to assess the town lots at any
thing near the valuation the owners
hold them at, the taxable wealth of
Medicine Lodge will run up to nearly
million dollars.
Here is the ordinance:
