John ZONES made an important ar.
rest Wednesday night when he took
Hugh Simonson into custody. Sim
ouson has been doing a lucrative
business as a hog dealer aud there
was considerable profit in IL from
the fact that he stole the hogs he
sold. He was pointed out to Jones
by Caes Goodner and when search
ed a geld watch belonging to Cass
was found on his person. Cass was
robbed of his watch and SO about
four weeks ago and Il seems re-
markable coincidence that he
should find IL in this way.

Speeches were made by a great
many of the comrades and by Pres
ident Cooper aud Commander Wei.
dy and Adjutant Mcdowell relative
to the necessity of securing other
grounds for holding the Interstate
reunions. President Cooper stated
that 100 acres of the farm land be.
longing to the Cherokee Live Stock
company just six blocks south OF
Camp Logan could be purchased
very cheap. The directors were in
structed to negotiate for the pur.
chase of the ground az soon as lis
beauties and advantages are known.
This land lies just outside the city
limits and is a veritable paradise.
About 40 acres of il is a high level
plateau, heavily shaded. while the
balance of the ground is somewhat
lower, but perfectly level, and also
well shaded. There are at present
two big springs on the ground and
"a beautiful little stream runs
through the land. The ground
reaches TO and takes in the river.
and is an ideal camp ground. The
water supply could be made ample
to supply 100000 people, and the
river being near by insures this.
Comrades coming TO the big reun-
ions in wagons could have n place
TO put their horses without going
to a regulsr wagon yard or camp
ing in some dusty street.

On Sunday night after the reun-
ion last year pair of hold-back
straps we're taken from the buggy
of the Junior editor of the REUNION
DAILY News. We of course mourn
ed them as lost. and as our credit
was good, bought new pair. Last
Saturday evening we found those
same straps lying in our buggy.
We have figured 1t up this way:
The fellow who took them a year
ago needed them to get away with,
and not knowing who to send them
to when he was through with them,
he just concluded to bring them
back this year. This is alright, but
we want to make the acquaintance
of the fellow, and If he will call at
this Office any time during the day
or night we will grasp him by the
hand and call him honest.
