Green spent a few hours at the.
ranch last week.
VIM. Morris, ST., of the Lodges
visiting with Sun City relatives.
Ed Harris; William Morris and
their families left last Saturday
morning for the Rockefeller ranch
where they will spend a few days
fishing.
John ]. Kern and daughter of
Lebanon, Ind, are visiting at the
Hastings place. John lis broth
Of Mrs. Hastings.
The appearance of Jack Frost
and the bawl of old chef" and the
fact that the kids like to hang to
the bed late at mornings are
all sure indications that winter is
not far away.
Owing to the difficulty in get
ting cars Riley Lake had to make
the second trip to New Mexico for
his cattle. Guess he is whetting up
to catch another Barker next
spring.
Charley Hartley was in Lake
last Saturday and reports that his
brother, Sam, is recovering from
the fever, also that the Forest City
meeting is a success.
The Sun City ball team has the
distinguished honor of not having
been beaten this season. Is there
another team in Barber or Pratt
county that can say it?
Frank Lockert made trip from
Coats to Sun City last Wednesday
in an hour and fifteen minutes.
Pretty good speed, taking the gates
and mountains into consideration.
George Lott and VIM. Shuts
threshed their wheat and alfalfa
crops last week. Owing to the
continued rains the seed seems to
be in pretty bad condition.
Fosters (" sheen seems to be in
bad luck this year. The separator
is always blowing up and the "bil-
er" bursting or spoke gets in the
something all the time.
The ball game between Sun City
and Deerhead last week resulted in
the defeat of the latter; we certain
ly have no discouraging word to
offer Deerhead for they are call
right, all right" but they will need
to get down to hard practice If they
wish to make it interesting for
Sun City.
Some railroad man, a spike driv-
er, suppose, made roar on La Ike
City's item last week which refer
red to the small rails which are
being used on the D. K. & G. He
said the ratings were "great big
things and that the writer of the
item was no railroad man. Will
inform the gent that it isn't al
ways a railroad man that can dis
eliminate between large and small.
A number of Sun City people
went out to take in the blast at
Massey's last "wednesday evening
and were more than paid for the
trip. The explosion of 600 kegs Of
powder afforded sight that we
rarely see. Boulders weighing sew
eral tons were hurled down the
embankment while smaller stones
were thrown half mile or more.
The great volume of smoke and
earth which filled the air made it
seem as though natural darkness
had come upon us.
G.. G.. Shigley'S driving horse left
home last Tuesday night and while
carousing around for a change Of
diet hewas attracted to Tonk Mills
cellar. Being unable to pick the
lock he got upon the door with his
100 pounds and gained entrance
dead easy. 1t is hardly worth while
to say that he found a feast of good
things and did eat. Prince is worse
than old Sam ever dared to be and
some day he'll find himself down
at the county seat looking through
the iron bars.
The report was received Satur-
day morning of a conflict between
Emil Thomas and man known as
three fingered Jim Johnson both
of Pratt county in which the latter
met his death. There are two or
A Young Mother Mt 90.
