Mrs. O. G. Donaldson left for Wichi-
| ia, Kansas, last week and Mr.. Donald
son is patching with the aid of his
youngest daughter this week. She
will visit with brother.
Mrs. Matte Hunter, son and daueh-
ter, left this week for their new home
in Kansas. Miss Laura expects to be
in Topeka most of the summer taking
music lessons and her mother will be
near there.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Smith living
three miles west of town, are the proud
parents of daughter that appeared at
their home last Friday and their older
daughter is just recovering from an
attack of appendicitis.
Mr.. OAKLAND, living out west of
town in the edge of Douglas township
gave party last Tuesday evening to
friends and neighbors who assembled
and had one of the best times the
community has seen for long time.
Taggart & Lyman have been doing
a good strawberry business this spring.
Our representative was shown through
the patch last week and reports a big
crop. They have been picking 200
quarts daily and expected at least ten
more days Of the run before the black
berry season opens.
The Band have now begun to give
concerts every Friday evening in the
park. The boys are all in good shape
and are giving good music They
should be encouraged and helped
along. A band is necessity in a
town. Because they ask for pay for
service is no sign they make any
thing. Their instruments and music
costs money and they have had to pay
for it some time.
Not long ago B. F.. Kennedy just
west of town, had fine colt get into
the wire and nearly cut off part of
a foot. 1t had nearly healed up when
last Sunday it again got into the wire
but this time with the opposite hind
leg, and the bottom part of the leg
was nearly sawed off almost six inches
of bone being visible. They are doc
toring it up but at the best it will
never be of much account.
When our solicitor, Mr.. Perkins,
called upon w. o. Glasscock, foreman
upon the big 800 acre ranch of MIR.
Browns in Melville township he
found him busy looking after the feed
ing of 573 head of cattle and 500 hogs.
This ranch is one of the biggest in the
county and run on new and approved
plans. They are given over almost
exclusively to summer feeding and
find that it pays best. Mr.. Glascock
has been foreman for six years and is
one of the most trustworthy and best
feeders in the county. The ranch has
always proved boon to the farmers
as they always have a good corn mar
ket at more than town prices and they
find genial neigbbor in the foreman
and family.
j. A. Nash, president of the western
interurban electric road from Des
Moines was down to the capital city
last week arranging with the engineer
for the survey of the road as all the
counties interested have put up their
$1,000 and every thing is ready for
work. The engineer will start from
Grimes and make lookout first by
driving over the proposed route and
finding the most feasible way first.
Then the real work of the survey will
begin. 1t is the hope of Mr.. Nash to
bring it through the heart of Audubon
and then to bear off south to the
Zaner slaughter house and across to
Kimballton from there which would
save any considerabl cut. Mr.. Nash
is pushing the work with the vim and
energy characteristic to him when he
undertakes an enterprise and those in
terested may rest assured everything
Will move as long as ne is at the head
Of it. 1t is impossible at this early
date to tell where the road is likely to
hit Audubon county or the direction
it will take through it but it won't be
very long now until we know.
We mentioned last week the sad
drowning of John Anderson in
Missouri. He WAS out in company
with Theo. Morrow fishing in pond
near the house. Just as they were
getting ready to leave a man and
several boys came along with seine
to seine the pond. John protested
against their going in but they went
ahead. They waded as far as they
could and finally two or three went
out farther to drive the fish toward
the seine. All at once ohm and Theo.
heard the boys screaming and one was
seen to go down. John ran immediate
ly and being good swimmer Just
threw off his coat and plunged in.
When the boy came up he was just
behind John and with the frenzy of
drowning man grabbed John from be-
hind and began climbing on top.
