was his aim in life for an educa-

his time until the age of 25 when
he succeeded in gaining. the title
nf master of Arts. His health
then failing he came to America
and lived for awhile in northern
Colorado. coming to this commu-
nifty in 1891, where he has since
resided and enjoyed the best of

had severe hemorrhsge of the

days. Funeral services were held
at the house Sunday mt 2 p. m.
conducted by Rev. j. J. Post of
Ordway. The attendance was the
largest mt any funeral in this COM
munity. The relatives have the
sympathy of their many friends in
this sad bereavement but they can
feel assured brother is mt rest.
Our loss is his gain.
The report that Mr.. McKinsry
was held up and robbed, a few
weeks ago by Homer Davis. five
miles east of Olney, was n mistake
by the writer. 1t seems that
McKinsey owed Davis, and in
some way Mr.. Davis got the
money McKinsey owed him.
There was no robbery committed.
Mr.. Davis is now working for Mr..
Enyart. We are glad to correct
our errors.

by President Swink, adjourned to

In the afternoon 200 were in at
tendance.

Miller, Bailey and Lewis, made
their report which showed that
about $67, 900 had been paid to the

had been expended for freight.

expense fund had amounted to
about $1,000. OF this amount n
little over 5000 had been expend-
ed. OF the remainder 800 had
been pro rated among the men,
bers, the balance being retained
for incidental expresses.
On motion the report Of the
auditing committee was accepted.
H. &. Bourne made few re-
marks in his own defense. He
said that when he took charge of
the books, two or three days after
the shipping season commenced,
he found he could not balance
them owing to mistakes made by
the inspectors. He laid the fncts
before the secretary and manager
and they told him to "pinch along"
the best he could. He acknowl-
edged that he had made mistakes,
but denied most emphatically that
he had made the over prorating
charged against him. He said
that no man living could have kept
the hooks balanced under the cir
cumstances. He cited the case of
one man. the last two figures of
whose number were II. The in-

one days delivery of that man was
l3, and that was the number of
crates that were allowed him in
the instance cited. Mr.. Bourne
complained that he had box full
OF tickets made out by inspectors
that no one could read. He reit-
Grated the statement that he had
made mistakes. but he did not
think it right that he should be
held responsible for mistakes
made by other people. He said
only one inspector had been uni
formly correct in his reports. On
being asked who that was he said
it was w. G. Lewis. He also
praised the work Of the Manzanola
inspector.
Manager Swink said that there
were some melons shipped from
Fowler that were never turned in
to the bookkeeper. The Fowler
and. La Junta people had Or
ders to make their reports direct
to the bookkeeper instead of to the
manager.
The following were nominated
for manager: A. Latson, W. &.
Lewis, G. A. Jones, A. G. Conner,
j. w. Longacre, VIM. Wiley and
w. b. Ebbert.
Wiley and Ebbert declined.
Messrs Woodbury., Fenlason,
Griffin and Blinn were appointed
tellers.
A count of the ballots showed
the following results: Lewis 76,
Latson 81, Jones 8, Swink 2.
w. G. Lewis having received a
majority of all the votes cast was
declared elected.
w. b Ebbert moved that the
members of the auditing commit
tee be allowed $3.50 day for
their services. Carried.
The question was raised as to
whose duty it was to pay the extra
bookkeepers. Mr.. Bourne insisted
that it was through no fault of his
that the books were muddled, and
that he could not be held liable.
On motion the whole matter was
referred to the board of directors.
The meeting then. adjourned.
