Commissioner Lake and County
Clerk Wilson returned home from
attending the meeting of the State
Board of Equalization last Thurs
day. The board could not COM
plete their abstract of valuations
because five of the counties had not
made their returns, but they heard
Messrs. Lake and Wilson and gave
them some encouragement. The
Barber county board feels that the
state has fixed too high a valuation
on Barber county compared with
the surrounding counties and they
are asking for a reduction of at
least ten per cent.
Some one thigh lied Arthur
Harlan's horse Thursday evening
and the horse pitched Arthur of.
While the horse was pitching he
threw Arthur on the saddle horn
and ruptured him, but he was not
hurt in the fall. In its misery the
horse came near running through
the front window of S. T. Hardy's
store. 1t finally ran down to
Spring creek in the south part of
town where it was caught. The
horse belongs to G. L. Groves.
Harlan works for Groves. We like
to see fun among boys but we cant
see anything funny about high lif-
ing a horse. In this case there was
good chance to kill man.

MISS BELLE E. BETTS.

The many friends of Dr Betts and family were shocked to hear of the sad and untimely death of Miss Belle E; Betts of Woodbury, who was so well known here, as she had been Ire quent visitor in Sandy Hook. She was taken away in the prime and use fulness of an active life, after an H. ness of about month with acute bright's disease. To all outward ap,, pearance she was a person of good health, as she was the spirit of life wherever she was and always put the best effort forward, though for several years past she had not been as well as people thought. She had been val ued singer in St Paul's choir for some time, was very efficient in church ana social work, amateur theatricals, It, erary clubs or any position she might be placed; always jealous in any good work to help the cause along.

Sheffield officiating. At her request the BettS Brothers and H. l.. Hitchcock acted as pail bearers.
