nesday. A woman who had come TO
town in one-horse rig drew up in front
OF Evans 4 Russelps barber shop, and
taking a bundle Of hay from the buggy,
laid it on the barber shop porch, pulled
off the bride and let the horse enjoy the
hay. A big dog that had followed the
outfit stretched himself out on the porch
and prepared to take snooze. A crowd
of the idlers on Oak street gathered
around and seemed 10 enjoy the scene
more than anything the halloween fes-
tivities had developed Matt Russell
came out and politely informed the
woman that his place was not corral
and asked her to move on. The woman
probably observed that things were run
ming rather loose in our town and there
fore could see no harm in feeding her
horse on the steps of our tony barber
shop.

utes Of @, and they hustled around and
made quick work of getting ready for her
trip. In coming out of their front door
they encountered the furniture that was
strewn along their new sidewalk by the
Halloween insurgents, and ut Prather's
corner they ran into the fence that
crossed the street, but they overcame
all obstacles and reached the depot just
in time.

down the grade between Reynolds place

below. One wheel of the wagon was off

work he saved the whole outfit from
going over.
