Special to the Register.
GRANADA, Friday, December 11th.
= J. B. Cline and daughters, Mrs. Angie
Chilcott and Miss Pet Cline, are in Pu
eblo this week.
Allen Thompson has three Mexican
herders employed on his extensive sheep
ranch on Butte creek
F. B. Koen has lately put quite large
stock of goods in his store at Marvel
Granada's fiourishing suburb.
There has been great slaughter OF rab-
bits around Granada this week. Grain
is 30 plentiful that they have been con-
centrating in this vicinity.
Two gentlemen from Missouri with
abundant capital will establish large
horse and mule ranch In Prowers county
south of Granada next spring.
= Sheriff elect Frank Tate has gone to
Kansas City with a train load OF cattle
shipped by w. J. Wilson. He will visit his
old home in Missouri before returning.
= The Granada bond case has been de-
cided in favor of the the town, and there
is now every reason to believe that those
who have sstayed" will go to work and
build up good town, the best perhaps
in the Arkansas valley.
Granada has few boys from Is to 20
years old, who are constantly damaging
property, breaking windows, tearing up
pavements, kicking in doors and perform
ing various other acts of deviltry. Some
of the property owners are determined to
stop this thing, and the guilty one are
likely to get few months in the county
jail before long.
There seems to be an air Of mystery
connected with the visits of Sheriff Nc
Curry to Granada. He is supposed to
come here two nights out OF the week to
singing school and one night to lodge.
The records of the singing school and
lodge do not show that Billy is
a very frequent attendant However, his
many friends are always so glad to see
him, that they are never too inquisitive.
1t is not only the irrigating farmer that
has prospered during the past season.
Tho "rainbelter" too has got there in
great shape ]. B. Cline has raised
enough grain and fodder to feed his 80 or
more cattle for three or four years. He
has rice corn, milo maize, Jerusalem corn,
sorghum, ETC.. in great abundance. 1t
shows the possibilities OF this soil when
persistently cultivated even without If
rigation.
Rev. N. H. Gale, late of Central City,
Nebraska, has moved to Granada with
his family, and is occupying the Minis
House. Mr.. Gale has evidently come to
stay, having brought more household
goods than any family who have ever
moved to Prowers county. He owns 800
acres of land under the Amity canal and
has one hundred acres of the same in
wheat II few more such citizens as
Mr. Gale could be induced to move into
this community it would be quite
change for the better.
Judge Alvin Marsh, Of Denver, was
Granada's attorney in the bond case that
has Just been decided in favor Of the
town. Without any very bright hope OF
a liberal fee he stuck to the town in spite
of the first decision which was unfavor-
able. The decision in this case has es-
tablished very impo, tant principle of
law, viz: That communities have some
rights as well as "innocent purchasers. !"
Men who buy bonds hereafter will take
some pains to see they were issued in q
legal manner The town of Granada will
no doubt remunerate Judge Marsh liber-
ally for his determined fight.
