Will T. and Albert Bintner
shipped four cars of cattle from their
own yards to the Chicago markets
last M onday that were as prime and
we'll fed lot of stock as was ever
sent out of Brayton. Will and Ber-
ME Bintner went with them and af-
ter short stay in Chicago will go

When the dispatches of the last
days drawing were printed in the
papers last Friday morning, the name
of Chas. w. Jenkins was among the
number who drew quarter section
of Uncle Sans rich prairie land in
the Ell Reno district, in the new Ok
lahomr country. AS Charlie already
has an interest in that country his
relatives and many friends up this
way are exceedingly glad that he was
so fortunate.
The school children of Oakfield and
vicinity were having a gala day at
the D. G. Smith home last Tuesday
conducting what they termed a''lawn
fair" The exercises began in the
forenoon with a calathumpian parade
in which all manner of faces and cos
TUNES were visible and then they all
became the guests of the Smith home,
had booths, where fancy articles were
sold, stands where they sold ice cream
and lemonade, and if you had stood
there and listened you could easily
have imagined you were at Buffalo at
the Pan American Exposition.
Forjust second or two last Mon
day evening, John Burns thought
that he must surely go to the king
dom come. He was backing up his
traction engine to hitch onto the
separator and when he got down to
couple them together he somehow got
between them and could not extricate
himself from his position, but for
tunately the engine struck a pro-
lection on the separator and only
gently squeezed Johns body a little,
otherwise he must have been crushed.
In an instant John thought of all
the mean things he ever done and
was very thankful for his deliverance.
