G.. F. TRACER. one of, our old reliable
citizens has been violating one Of the
ancient customs Of this up to date town
by planting trees around his store build
| ing. We did not think it Of Frank but it |
jsfo. Gone to ilinh about il wa believe |
| 1t would be a good ding II some more of
our enterprlsing citizens would do the
violating act in The same way.
| On Wednesday, April IS, 1904, Grant
Murdoch Bobby, the IS month old boy Of
j. ). Bobby ind wife, was accidentally |
drowned. 1t issupposed that the little
one was playing in tub of water, when
found he was lying across The edge Of
the tub with his face and breast In the
water 1t is not thought that be was In
the water but very few minutes but all
efforts to revive him and call back life
was a failure. Funeral took place at the
N. Z. church in Bucklin on Thursday |
afternoon. Services conducted by Rev.
n. s. Reigel Of The U. B. church, buried
10 Bucklin cemetery.
Tuesday telephone connection was
completed between Bucklln and a mum,
Der Of farmers northwest Of Bucklin.
We don't know just what they want with |
it but suppose that they think that 1t will
rain some day and they can jolly one
another over the saving Of the wheat
crop without going out In the wet. By
the way we hear 1t rumored that there
will be a line between and connecting
Dodge City and Bucklln, Well that is
alright, too, and perhaps will be Il real
benefit to few persons, and an imagl-
nary benefit to far greater number
After all is said and done, this telephone
craze like some other things we could
mention. Is caused by the ever Increasing |
desire to know all about other peoples
business and to know II right now.

cured here at a few minutes after mid
