The new town will be knocking
along, and doing business right, in
side of the next fifteen days. The
chances are now favorable for the
new town to be made a division
point on the Rock Island. In any
event it will be good town, and in
five years the best town between
Hutchinson and White Oaks. A
number of large and substantially
constructed business houses will be
erected at once, and the good school
certain to be established and main
tanned in the town will attract doz-
ems of local ranchmen who will erect
dwelling houses in the new metrop-
oils. Those out on the ragged edge
of the situation may doubt the wis
dom and the truthfulnrss of the
Herald's remarks, but the men who
are backing the enterprise have the
money and the push, and the Rock
Island is going to do the fair thing.

We notice by our Meade, Ks, ex-
changes that Dick Beatte is at that
place and that foot race will prob
ably be arranged between him and
Nate Peck, well known sprinter of
Meade. The Meade citizens think
Nate invincible but we believe him
about second too slow for Dick.
1t will be race we would like to
see.-Medford, Okla, Patriot.
We also would like to see such a
race, and if you fellows think that
way just come up and deposit your
bullion and you will sure get race.
Yes, we certainly think Peck can
run,

The Herald editor and Cap. Hun
gate made quick trip to Optima,
Saturday, driving up in the after
noon and returning to Hardesty the
same evening by $500. All of the
railroad graders, hoboes, bootleg
gers, etc., have left that locality and
Optima is comparatively dull place.
Rock Island locomotives run down
to the Beaver and while standing
out on the bridge a stationary en-
gine pumps water from the Beaver
into the tenders. Postmaster Crane
was sick when we called at his place,
but he informed US that he had been
notified to move the Optima post
office to the first station on the Rock
Island north of the Beaver. E. P.
Carter and other prominent citizens
state that moving the Office as above
stated is contrary to the wishes of
people along the valley. The track
layers are now working across Sher-
man county, Texas, unless delayed
by unfinished road bed. In one in
stance at least over in Texas grade
work was retarded by bootleggers
invading a camp and getting the
workmen drunk, but it is thought
the tracklayers will be able to work
straight-away to Twist. Some of
the railroad contractors threaten to
shoot the bootleggers. We trust
they will do so and that a verdict of
justifable homicide will be returned
by the coroner. While in Optima
per request of an eastern journal
we investigated the ftarcheologi-
cal find," a plate said to have been
revealed by blast in the Connolly
cut. The whole matter of the find
was joke.-Hardesty Herald.

There was considerable sorrowing
at the home of the Bonham girls
last Sunday, caused by the death of
their pet dog, Pinto. 1t appears
that the dog had fight with an
other cur the night before, and in
the melee lost an eye. On Sunday
DR.. Leslie, assisted by Elmer Ros-
enberry, attempted to put the eye
in place, but the result is that the
little dog is dead. Doc. says that
Elmer choked the dog to death
while holding him for the operation,
and Elmer declares that Doc. Ad-
m1nistered an overdose of opiates.
At any rate one or the other of
them put Mr.. dog out of commits
sion.

some reason there never is very

DEFEAT WAS HARD.
Two BOOSTERS Nearly Bring Augusta
Parties to Contest in Court.
Owner OF Gentleman Hen Was Satisfied While
His Bird Was Winner.

TWO ROSTERS, owned by Augusta
parties. came very near bringing the
owners into conflict in the courts,
,, recently, but evidently the matter was
settled In some way as it has not been
heard of for some time.
The homes Of these two men are on
adjoining. lots and as might be in
ferred from the above, both keep poul-
try. The fences between the TWO
back yards were not in water proof
condition and the hens were accus-
toned to intermingle and for a long
time fierce conflicts have been waged
between the two patriarchs of the
locks.
One of these warriors either had lon
ger spurs or came of better fighting
blood for he was always the winner
and his owner glorificd in his victories
He was willing the warfare should
continue for his bird showed such
superiority that it was a source Of
joy TO him.
But his joy came to an abrupt end,
for one day. mis- rooster came home from
a visit to the adjoining hunting ground
with his comb covered with blood
part of his tail feathers missing and
his spirit all gone. He lacked
strength even to peck at handful of
corn solicitiously offered him and in
se2d of strutting proudly among his
constituents as had been his wont, he
cry led off into dark and dismal
corner to think over his first defeat.
The next day ne again made Il try
but met defeat even more decisive
than before ard then it became a mat
ter Of daily occurrence for the former
victor to be almost annihilated and
his owner fairly ragged. He couldn't
see how it was that his rooster should
be licked right along when he had al
ways previously been a sure winner
and he determined to find out. So
ore day. he went to the fence and
looked over his neighbours flock and
then he knew the sccret-his neigh
Dor had bought new rooster.
The defeats continued until they be-
came unbearable and the owner of
the conquered rooster made up his
mind to seek remedy in the law. He
took some steps in this direction but
for some reason the matter never
came to court. Perhaps his neghbor
disposed Of his valiant conqueror or it
may he that the fence was made roos-
ter tight and the conflicts were in this
way stopped.
