Ed Cotton. living near Forbes, was
in town Thursday of last week, May 10Th
and drove up in single rig, On getting
ready to 60 home he drove to the water
ing tank: he took of the horses bride
and it only took the nag moment to
realize that he could"go scott free" if he
wanted to-and the cussedness of that
brute was that he wanted to and away
he went "lickety CUT By the time he
reached the French residence only few
blocks away the buggy was smashed into
''smithereens." the horse was down with
broken leg, and Ed had a badly
wrenched arm, which he will carry in a
sling for some time.
e. X. Christensen, of Nickelrs

than one. He is not Immediately on the

to the Oregon route No. l. Mr.. Chris
Jensen was here talking telephone with
MIR. Martin. He is anxious for the ser
vice, but cannot get his neighboIs inter
ested sufficiently to take phones. We
believe, however, if the matter was pre-
scented to them in the proper way, that
they can be induced to take hold of the
project and once they take hold, they
will never let 60. They would just as
soon think of doing without cows, hogs,
etc., than doing without the phone, for
they are in daily touch with the world
get the daily markets, etc, and many,
many other advantages will be derived
