other was is due to the fact that Gunter,
whose dialogue is trashy and whose stu

largely attended these evenings.
The soft weatheris beginning to smooth
the wrinkles from the faces of the farmers.
At the sale of car horses at Twentieth
and X streets the other day. some of the
nags went very cheap. One man became
a horse owner on the trifing outlay of

went as low as 81 90. The larger animals
brought as high as $40, however.
The taking of a hot stove has generally
been regarded as about the highest
achievement in the art of stealing; but

broke the record by stealing a sawmili.
