Special to the Register.
GRANADA, Friday, January 22nd.
j. B. Cline, the Plumb creek ranch
man, has been suffering from the ravages
Of la grippe.
Alonzo McCready, who has been herd
ing sheep at Thompson's ranch on Butte
creek, has returned home.
Mr.. Elisha House has what is supposed
to be scarlet fever. 1t is hoped that
Elisha will not have severe case of this
dreaded disease.
Arbitration seems to be the favorite
method of settling legal disputes in Ora
NADIA. Several cases have been tried in
that manner lately.
Hon. M. NJ. Priddy, the stalwart rs-
publican chairman of the Prowefs coun-
ty commissioners, was in Granada On
Thursday. Mr.. Priddy looks like man
who bears the burdens OF life much
easier since he has straightout repub-
lican associate on the board Of commits
sioners.
Some Of Granada's young people un-
dertook to utilize the several inches Of
snow tina. fell Wednesday afternoon.
Their sleigh collided with the railroad
track. The horses parted company with
the sleigh, jumped three wire fences and
finally stopped because they couldn't
jump over Will Swift's house.
For some weeks it has been rumored
that railroad division and round houses
would be established at or near Granada.
Marvel and Byron are both rivals, but
Granada seems to be the point most like
ly to be favored. Your correspondent is
not willing to tell all he has heard dur
ing the past month, but would most re-
spectfully remark that Granada may yet
become "Child of Destiny"
Every man in Granada, who is in the
presss satisfaction with the appointment
of w. w. Jones as deputy road overseer.
Mr. Jones is one of the most reliable re-
publicans in Prowers county. His ser
vices during the late campaign were OF
great advantage to the republican ticket.
In making this appointment Messrs.
James and Priddy have been true to
their freinds, as we'll as to the taxpayers
OF the county.
The old adage that it is an ill wind
which blows nobody any good was strik-
ingly illustrated in the cold snap of the
past week The cold weather was an in
convenience to nearly everybody in Gra-
NADIA except Mr.. Oakes, the coal dealer.
He was kept constantly busy weighing
coal and counting silver. Having due
sense of propriety Mr.. Oakes tried aw-
fully hard to keep from looking happy.
Nobody has right to blame him il his
countenance betrayed gleam of exulta-
ton once in awhile.
Public sentiment in Granada precinct
is decidedly favorable to war, but it
seems altogether unlikely that any Ora
NADIA gore will be spilled on Chilean bat
tlo fields. E. L. McCabe is anxious to
go, but not as a common soldier. Oakes,
Snowden and Shut intended to go, but
the probable early opening Of the Chero-
kee strip has quenched their military
ardor. Barney Cow would like to engage
in another war, but not as member OF
the regular army. He would organize an
Independent regiment Of bushwhackers
to forage in Chill and re-establish the
autonomy of Peru. Every male inhabi-
tant is decidedly in favor OF Presenting
any insult to the old flag" but unfortu-
nate business complications or regard
for the welfare Of their families will pre-
vent any of them from enlisting. Jno.
G. Hagerman alone will fight, but his
fighting will be at long range, and John
says Granada is probably az near Chile
as he will have to go.
