There seems to be considerable kick
ing in COllyer township on account of
Dads and bridges. The kickers charge
that the commissioners didn't do
their duty in this matter. We have
not talked to any of the commission
ers but we call your attention to that
part of the commissioners proceed
ing relative to this matter:
In the matter of road petitioned
.or by A. Spitsnaugle ct al. on which
viewers had been appointed at the
anuary meeting, came on for a final
hearing. In view of the fact that the
viewers failed to agree on the grant
ing or not granting said road and that
the return made was not in accord
ance with the petition and appoint
ment, the road was not granted
In the matter of four roads petit
TONED for by J. S. Smith eft al, f. a.
hhrut ct al, 0. b. kesS1er ct al. and
Ii. III. Cawley ct al, the board finds
hat there were not any of the bonds
iegal. The petitions were laid over
in order to give the parties chance
SO file a legal bond.
From the above we would infer that
'te commissioners were more sinned
-aifSt than SHINING.

composed of barb-wire fence all the

Mr.. Cooks thorough knowledge of
electricity carried by the wire and
the workings of the phones, the line
was complete success and works per-
feet. With this manner of talking

1t is not necessary to tell the peo-
pie of western Kansas that we have
been having some weather this week,
but our outside readers may be inter-
ested in a description of it, We had
. terrific south wind on Sunday and
Monday and everybody prophesied
rain. 1t came on Tuesday and
brought some hail with it. BY Wed
nesday morning the ram changed to
sieet- Flowers, leaves and fruit buds
were covered with ice.. A regular
blizzard ragged all afternoon and a
sharp freeze came at night. On
Thursday morning the sun came out
and made things look a little bit sick.
The weather is lovely now and Roose-
welt will see everybody with a smile
on his face today. 1t is too early TO
say that the fruit is all killed and the
rain is a fine thing for field crops. Old
settlers are talking of similar storm
which came about May 3, 1881, and
did no damage.
