Three Houses on Dewey Lands in Chey-
enne County Burned Down
Three houses in Cheyenne county on
lands belonging to the Dewey Cattle

pied. The residences were known as the

and the third one was a house on West
End ranch, the exact building could not
be learned.
Two farmers from the north part of
this county were in town Monday and
gave information about the destruction
Of the property. They said an electric
al storm, accompanied by rain, passed
over the south part Of Cheyenne county
that day and the cause Of the fires is at
tributed to the work Of lightning.
The next day the barn Of Emmett
Lister, IN the northeast part Of this
county, was struck by lightning and also
burned down, together with a lot Of hay
and some farming utensils.
The Dewey houses destroyed were

V. W. Goodrich, in days gone by the
nurseryman Of the county, was in town
this week and talked a little about trees.
He is anxious that all Of the trees that
have been set out in the town and in the
country have special attention when
they need it most, and right now, he
says, is that time. Trees that are not
well-rOOted and grounded need water all
the more at this time Of the year, when
it is windy and dry than at any other
time Of the year. They should be well
watered from now on until Christmas,
and those who fail to do this will learn
to their sorrow that their trees are dead
or dying" So take warning, and care for
your trees, that you may behold their
beauty il. years to come and sit beneath
their ample and refreshing shade.
