Words Whispered In Our Ear From
1niand Towns In the Territory
Tuesday Afternoon.

Wynnewood-It is rumored that
there is a case of smallpox in a
family of negroes who are camped
two miles north Of town. The ne
groes are from Denison and the re-
port is believed by a number of
our people.
About 8 O'Clock this morning
some one entered the residence Of
Sam higgins and stole gold
watch and chain and a suit of
clothes. A short time before the
robbery was discovered a well dress
ed man called at the residence and
asked for drink of water. Mrs.
Riggs gave him the water and then
stepped out into the back yard.
When she returned in a short time
she noticed that the watch and
clothes were missing and believes
that the man who called for the
water entered the house during her
absence.
