Another proof 81 tie statements made
By The ADvERrIsnn i few weeks ngo con-
cerning the towns established by the
town lot company is that 80 per cent Of
the failures that have occurred within
the past two years IN The west along the
line Of this road have been in the towns
controlled BY the town lot company.
Among the recent failures are: the sus-
pension Of the Gordon Press and the ags
signment Of q large dry goods and gro
| Gerry firm at the same place; the failure
Of q commission and produce dealer and
the Maverick bank at Douglas, Wyom-
ing. The bank closed it's doors on ac-
count Of being unable to realize on its
securities Their assets consist Of mort
cages on. Douglas property, and they
cannot realize 25 cents on the dollar.
The amount represented by the mort
cages would purchase the whole town
ship in which Douglas is situated. True
, !. Is, the best towns along the railroad are
those not controlled or doomed by the
town lot company.
Mrs. Smith, the mother OF Ed. Smith,
who killed Jerry Clancy, was in town
on Tuesday. Mrs, Smith came to the
Hills from her eastern home to stay with
her son until after his trial, hoping to
clear him Of the charge of murder laid
against him. She has laborcd hard in
the matter, and for her sake, all hope the
prisoner will be dealt with as leniently
as possible. No one knows; no ono can
know, the awful agony and anguish a
mother passes through owing to the
conduct OF hayward son. All may
turn away from man when in trouble.
Brothers, sisters, even fathers may steel
themselves against one,'. but q mother,
with heart filled with that 5udefnable,
subtle mother-ibve, will follow her erring
boy through fire, plague and CRIME, and
when the world seems almost crushing
him will stand nobly,at his side and bear
his burdens for him. We earnestly hDpe
that for the sake of the loving mother;
the blew, now almost descending npon
the euiprit, may be turned asides -hoping
that this terrible experience mns. be a
stern lesson to him that in afteTr life he
will profit by.
