Mrs. W. S. Knapp was elected treasur-
or of the Ogallah school district last
Thursday and Joshua Musgrave was also
elected treasurer of his school district.
We think both districts will have their
school money in safe hands.
In response to invitations sent out b.
Theodore Wynn between thirty and forty
guests appeared at the handsome resi-
dence at the Forestry Station last Friday
night. Excellent vocal and instrumental
music was rendered by Messrs. Wynn and
Cooper and Misses Yetter, Cooper and
Mapes, after which the guests sat down
to sumptuous repast of ice cream. cake.
etc. As the guests dispersed they ex-
pressed hope that they might have an
opportunity of attending many more snch
sociables.
Last Saturday Messrs. Hoar and Yetter
proved up on their timber claims These
claims were both taken the same day,
July 29th, 1882. We deem it worthy Of
more that passing notice aud add few
facts IN connection with these claims,
partly because of the prominent place
they occupy, joining the State Forestry
Station and but few rods from the rail
road, and it is thought by many passers-
by that this young timber is a part Of tie
Forestry Station. 1t is as well that it
should be so for the timber is neither a
disgrace to the state nor the station.
Nine different varieties II trees are grow
ing on these claims, and ont of the entire
number of trees planted in 1885, 90 per
cent. are growing, thrifty trees. The gist
of the success attending these claims can
be summed up in few words: these men
went at 1t to win, and they took their re-
ward out Of the land office last Saturday
in the shape of final proof receipts. We'll
done, thou good and faithful servants.

Joseph Runyon's second oldest boy,

clouds to make sunshine all the brighter.
A short time ago a man named Vance
broke into the house of Mrs. Cool, down
near Mendoza post Office, it is said for
the purpose ofrobbery. He was brought
before justice, who promptly found him
guilty and sentenced him to six months
in the penitentiary. 1t seems that a
justice of the peace has no more power
than to bind a person over from appeal
or some other way. The case is now at
Hays City awaiting action at next term of
court. G. W. Thayer was involved in it
some manner, we think as constable, so
that he spent a couple of days of last

Necessity is the mother of invention.
This can truly be said IN regard to har
vesting the fodder crop. The dry wealth
er has made the corn short and to cut il
(short) in an ordinary way would be a
back-breaking job; SO the necessity OF an
easier method of cutting it is the cause
of Alex. Barnes being the daddy" of a
labor-saving fodder-cutting invention that
has been copied by nearly everybody in
this vicinity.
The annual school meeting passed of
quietly in all three districts. In district
35 Joshua Musgrave was reelected treas
urer, and our informant thought that
someone was elected to fill a vacancy in
the Office of director, but didn't seem very
well posted. In district 81 William NJ.
Brabb was elected treasurer to succeed
his father, who has moved out of the dis
trict. A, s. Barnes was elected treasurer
for the full term IN district Is and A. S.
Hughes director for two years. A total
tax levy of II mills was made. In dis
trict II. Ellis county, there was bond
election meeting called for 4 o'clock of
the same day. G. s. Williams was re-
elected treasurer for the next three years
and Thomas Thompson director for an
unexpired term of two years. Later,
bonds for $3.50 we're voted, there being but
two votes against the issuing of them.
The school house was located on the
northeast corner of section 81, now owned
by Daniel Griest, being just little east
Of where it now stands. It is the inten-
ton to build and furnish the house for
the amount of the bonds, and to have it
ready for occupancy by October LIST, at
which time school commences.
