Annual Meeting.
The Bent and Prowers County Cattle
and Horse Growers Association will hold
its annual meeting at Las Animas on
February 10th, 1903. Election of officers,
settling up last years business matters,
taking in new members and selecting
delegates to state convention makes this
very important meeting, and all mem
bsrs should make 1t point to attend.
There is considerable talk among bus
siness men of organizing club for the
young folks. The north room OF the
Masonic temple can be secured, and a
sufficient number Of young men ought
to be willing to join such an orgariza-
ton. A gymnasium can be fitted up,
various games provided and good Ii
brary put in. 1t can be made most
pleasant place too and ought to be an
attractive proposition.
The troupe which presented the Game
Keepss ut the opera house last night
was one OF the most capable that has
ever visited Lamar. The play was good
and the troupe has some excellent seem
cry. The audience was not large, and
the members of the troupe did not do as
well as they might have done. We feel
sure that they were all capable Of much
better acting, although they did very
well as it was. The stormy weather un-
doubtedly kept many away.
Geo. NJ. Bedinger and a. Johnston,
expert horse dentists, are now making
their headquarters in Lamar and can be
found at any time at Mclean Bros.
livery stable. They have done work for
n number of the leading stockmen of
this county and all Of them have highly
recommended their work. II your horse
is suffering and unable to properly mas
ticate his food it would be well to have
him examined by them, as they have
been eminently successful in the prac-
tice of their profession.
There was quite spirited runaway
down Main street last Monday morning.
A team which was hitched south OF the
First National Bank broke loose and
came around the corner with rush.
Fortunately they kept the middle Of
the street, and after running across the
track, turned west and were finally cap
tured without any damage being done.
AS Main street was crowded with teams
it is lucky that no one was hurt and that
a general scare among teams did not re-
suit.
The county commissioners were in
session Monday and Tuesday. There
was not much business for them to at
teny to and therefore their meeting was
short. One Of the principal matters
discussed concerned the bills in regard
to the posse which were after Cherokee
Bill Smith and his gang. The commits
sioners decided that before they would
pass on the bills as filed, that each man
who was with the posse, shall file his
separate bill and make his claim, fully
sworn to. But they do not promise to
pay any of the claims
