for S35. co. These are good warranted
goods. Come and see them.
Several prairie schooners passed
through here last Saturday. They

Mr.. Beatty has been delayed in get
ting his packer and other appliances
for shutting down his new gas well
and the result is that enough gas has
gone to waste during the past week to

1t is great pity. We may need that
gas some day.

Rex and Bruce Bowlus and Louie
and Charlie KAUFMAN took their fish,
ing tackle and some cooking utensils
and other necessary articles and are

reach home.
