Followed to Kansas

Manager Kenyon went after
Mr.. J. G. Taylor, who has been
running brickyard here, and de-
parted for the state of Kansas few
days ago. He forgot to call and
bid goodbye to the James A. Nc
Candless Mercantile store, whose
manager was slightly interested in
him. So much did Manager Ken
yon regret this omission that he
followed Mr. Taylor and caught
up with him east of Pueblo, after
a hard drive from that city.
Mr.. Taylor returned two miles
towards Pueblo as the result of the
persuasive influence of a constable
who accompanied Mr. Kenyon.
Then he weakened and paid $25
which settled grocery bill of $l1
and the costs of his pursuit Then
Mr.. Kenyon bade him farewell
and he started again for Kansas.
