who verbally advertised the conccr
was prevaricator, but otherwise salts
faction was general. The crowd wa.
generally orderly and well behaved
only one arrest being necessary, and
that was a fakir who was caught work
ing tho industry known as the shell
game. Although its fraudulent quail
ties have been advertised from time
immemorial there was q crowd of in,
dividuals who are constitutionally gul
lible standing around gaping to be vic.
timized anxious to bet their hard
earned dollars that they could do what
has never been done for money. The
fakir evaded the officers wearing stars,
but another gentleman, without wearing
the insignia of authority, gathered the
festive fake in. The fake, with a pal,
afterwards induced the marshall with
out star into box ear, where he pro-
posed to get personal vengeance, but he
only remained long enough to deal one
of them sledge hammer blow on the
cheek, and retrcated without orders.
Last Sunday evening Godfrey Draer,
living two miles north of town, started
with his family to visit friends in Au-
dubon. Their home is situated a short
distance from the main road, In going
to which they pass through three gates
two of which fence the railroad track
They started in buggy with two OF
the children, and Mr.. Draer had opened
the first gate and the wife started to
drive through, when the oldest boy sud
denly opened IN umbrella, frightening
the team, which started to run away
Mr.. Draer jumped and caught one line
and held on tenaciously while he was
dragged considerable distance until
the string broke. The team then ran
near barbwire fence, the buggy struck
post and the children were thrown
into an adjacent oat field uninjured
The mother was thrown upon post
striking upon her left side, resulting IN
breaking two ribs and internal injuries
the extent of which can not be deter
mined at this time. Drs. Holmes and
Cloughly were called, aud think the
lady will suffer no permanent disability
unless fever or unforeseen complications
shall ensue. Mr. Draer received bruises
upon the face, The team ran con
siderable distance and stopped, after
having lead the buggy disastrous
chase.
Mr.. J. II. Wills and wife and daughters
Rachel and Matte start today for Colo
RADIO, going direct TO Julesburg, where
n daughter Is located. They VIII make
the journey Of between six and seven
hundred miles with team, and will be
on the road about four weeks, The
journey is made In hopes Of repairing
the health of the young ladies, who have
been under the care of physician for
many months without obtaining any
apparent benefit. II is hoped that the
overland journey during the pleasant
weather and the gradual progress of
acclimation will prepare them to receive
the benefit which that country Is famous
for imparting. The family has many
warm friends through the county who
will earnestly hope that complete health
Of the young ladies will be the reward
for this very tedious and arduous jour
ney. Should the conditions prove fav-
orable Mr.. Wills expects to make Colo
RADIO his home. Ills son John has
moved onto his farm and will occupy
1t during his absence.
Mr.. T. J. llradloy, Of Cameron town.
ship, was in town last week and ordered
Of G. II. Cross u sickle for an old Buck,
eye mower purchased by his father in
1862. 1t is of wooden frame, in good
repair and shows how long and profit
ably farm machinery may be used with
good care in the busy season and shell
tor when Idle. People often decry the
poor stock used In modern manufacture
of implements, etc, but this is erroneous.
There never was q time when such good
and thoroughly tested material entered
into the manufacture of farming uten-
sis as today. The fault Is too often In
carelessness in using or lack Of proper
mechanical knowledge to handle them.
This wooden machine now In use
twenty six years and still IN good repair
Is a fair example Of what care will nc
complish. This mower will be on ex-
hibition at the fair,

Lincoln township, are among the vet.
