HAZELToN ITEMS.

P. II. Albright of Winfield, was In
the city last Saturday on business.
Dick Robinson gave the young peo-
pie dance at his house Friday night
and all report good time.
Ed H. Smith sold sixty head of fine
steers to some eastern parties last
week. We did not learn the price paid.
Jerry Mussen shipped out a few head
of cattle during the past week. They
probably went to feed the implement
men.
d. jackson shipped three cars of cat.
tie and hogs last week, and has the as
surance to come home and claim that
he didn't make any money on them.
w. j. Norwood is out in Colorado
looking for a better place TO live than
in Kansas, but it is our guess that he
will come back satisfied to let well
enough alone.
T. G.. Bridge was so we'll pleased
with what he saw of Colorado during
his recent visit out there that he return
ed there the first of the week to look
up location.
D. M. Circle went to Wichita one
day last week and talked cattle up
there till he got a couple of parties to
come down and buy about sixty head
of good steers.
A. q. Collins is haviog big run on
dehorning cattle. He Is doing at the
rate of hundreds per day. If the pres.
ent rate is kept up we expect to see
him wearing diamonds before the next
cold spell.
7. R. Maltbie has bought the old w.
B. Clark farm and will take possession
the first of March. lie paid $12 pei
acre and has one Of the best 24O- acre
farms in this part of the county, and
as good as can be found anywhere.
Dan Edwards got Mrs. Edwards to
believe that the smallpox were very
bad in Kansas City SO that she would
not agree to 90 with him to attend the
implement mems convention, and then
he went and spent whole week hav.
ing a high old time.
Tom Blake's buggy mare took live
ly run Saturday with one of his clerks
as driver and the delivery wagon to
hold her level, but when the race was
over the wagon didn't look like it was
worth more than so per cent of what it
did before the start.
]. R. Keller got pretty badly used up
while assisting others to take a large
watering tank off wagon. 1t got
away from them and caught j. R., and
from his general appearance, it must
have rolled HIM oyer some three or four
times to get at him in as many differ.
emit places as it did.
Quite a commotion was created over
west Of town last week by a certain
party getting possession of farm from
a Tenant through sub lease that he
could not have got from the owner. A
great many remedies have been sug-
gested to get rid of him but up to date
none of them have been tried.
Out at Fairview school house when
they want to add their stock of books
in the library they get up box supper,
have the young people to bring in tho
grub then put it up and sell it to the
highest bidder, per box. Some of the
boys and young men paid as high as
$1.50 for the privilege of helping eat
their own supper out there last Friday
night.
Along about the first Of last week
Oliver Rnodenbaugh went up to Wich-
tia to spend few days, and, while
there, lodged with Fred Harrington,
one of his old friends. Oliver got
home Friday about midnight and went
home to rest. Saturday morning a let
ter was received from F. F. Severance,
saying that Harrington had bad case
Of smallpox and that their house was
quarantlned. On receipt of this letter,
the Mayor took steps at once to quar-
antine Oliver, and it is not expected
that he will get to loaf up town much
for the next few days, as no one will be
allowed to visit to or from his home for
thort time. 1t is not thought that
anyone has been exposed by meeting
him, sufficient to endanger them or the
public.
