As we were driving west last Sun
| day morning we thought we were real
early but to our surprise when we
were about miles west of town we
saw that sOrrel colt hitched to post
| in front of a nice residence and upon
inquiry found it had preceded us by
about hours. How in the world,
! Charley, can you get up 50 early on
Sunday mornings:
]. w. Crane met with quite a serf-
Gus loss one day last week as well as a
very peculiar one. He had taken a
fine mare to Chanute to sell and not
having accomplished the deal, was
leading her home behind the wagon,
when she became frightened and
broke loose running back and into
the deep ditch south OF Fourth street,
killing herself almost instantly. she
was valued at 1925. Everyone SYM
pathizes with Mr.. Crane I'm his loss.
