Few people will believe that steer
can live twenty-five days without food
or water, but case came to our knowl-
edge this week that proves that such is
the case. j. n. Titus on the 1st of Feb
ruary drove bunch of 250 steers up in
to Pratt county to be fed. When he az
rived at the feeding ground he noticed
that there was one steer missing, and
dropped out. On the 25th of February,
near Mr.. Robey's. in Valley township,
boys hunting rabbits discovered the
lost steer in an old dry well, about six
feet deep. They pulled him out and
though he was very weak, he will pull
through. He could not have tasted food
or water for twenty-five days.

The Bill Ramsey house, IN sonth
Walnut street, was discovered VI nio
last Saturday night at 1920, and b."
for the prompt arrival and hard work
of citizens. the building and contents
would have been destroyed. The fire

and window glass broken; but this is
not known to be true. John Thomas
and family occupied the three back
rooms of the house, and they knew
nothing of the fire until neighbors ar
rived and kicked in the doors. Mrs.
Ramsey has been in Fort Smith, Ark,
for two months. Bill was last heard of
