The Butler weekly times., 1897-09-09

Col Marshal Il Wolfe informs US
that it is his intention to leave for
Wyoming or Montana as soon as he
can finish selling out his real estate
and other holdings, and that Ed Bos-
well, John Lotspiech and Geo
Thompson are figuring on "throw-
ing in with him in some kind Of
business out there. Milo Wilcox ex-
poets to settle his son ana son-ln-law
in the same country. OF course we
are all regretful over the prospects
of the removal of so many good cltl-
zens from amongst us, whom we
have found to be true and faithful,
and especially Mr. Wolfe. Every one
who is acquainted with his genial
nature knows that he is not built on
any narrow gauge pattern. His
! time and means have been freely
given to improve and make better
his community, both in a financial
and moral way. And not always has
! it been to his benefit, for sacrifice
and loss have left their monu ments
behind which only intensity the true
aim of his life. We hope that some
thing will come up to prevent his GO
ing, but if not, wherever he goes his
associates will find in him the essen
tial qualities that go to make an ex-
emplary citizen, and we wish himself
and family all the happiness that is
consistent with we'll spent life
Raising cattle and Alphalfa will be
their purpose in the west, and as all
are men of means we are satisfied
they will win success, at least to the
extent that they will entertain some
of us Missourians in royal manner
should we ever be able to visit them
Mrs Sharp has returned home from
a three weeks visit to her mother a.
Appleton City. Guess the Col viii
not fly SO high now.
Rufus Lockard has returned from
little jannt out in Kansas. Th'
old home; mother; and the old kitch
en- safe were the magnets that prov
ed too strong for his wealth-huntins
propensities, and caused him to Civ
up the "shucks" of Kansas for th'
"fatted calf of Missouri. Rufu
knows good thing when he-get
where he can't taste it.
Several of our neighbors were il

Judge Luther Cruise has returne
