from the center OF the city are selling
at high figures" The reporter said
not another word about politics or
politicians.

ceola, on the north side OF Main street,
from SCOTS store to the restaurant,
was burned down at 5 o'clock on the

the ditch had been playing poker with
a Chinaman and was beat and threat
ened to burn the town. The fellow
has skipped" Mr.. Scott is believed
to be a heavy loser as he had a heavy
stock of goods both in his store and
