County G Commissioner James Arnold
came down from his home in Vesta
last Monday. He stated that the
severe wind of last week took off the
top of nearly every grain stack in that
neighborhood. In some instances,
Mr.. Arnold said, the stacks were
practically leveled to the ground
There was no rain and aside from the
labor necessitated by restocking, NO
damage was done. Similar reports
come from all over the county.
Two steers we're stolen from the
herd of Henry and James Arnold in
Vesta about the same time two similar
animals were stolen from Adam Alex
ander's herd. The Arnold herd num-
bered over 800 head of cattle and it
was impossible almost to miss any OF
the animals until the fall round up
recently made. About the same time
that the discovery was made Archie
Howe, who has been held to the grand
jury for stealing Alexander's steers,
was reported missing. The Arnold
boys are inclined to fasten the theft
on Hove.
Curfew rang for the first time, as
stated in The GAZETTE, last Thursday
evening. There were nine distinct
taps of the fire bell, after which there
was stampeding for home on the
part of one or more group of young
sters who have been in the habit OF
remaining on the streets until a late
hour. Chief Crooks found it neces-
sary to run his hand over some faces
on the street after nine o'clock in or
der to ascertain whether they came
within the limits of the ordinance
Wherever he found a possible beard
it was alright but wherever the beard
was an improbable thing for several
years yet he invariably sent the faces
home.
The most disagreeable night on
record in the history of this section oil
the State was last Thursday night
Thursday was very warm day and
