If all reports are true Fred Baldwin is

woman mourning his departure The
two men ere ]. E. McDaniels and John

Baldwin is a well known blind tiger
artist. and has been zyorl1iI1E in the
Salina field for the mast several years
1t IS alleged that Baldwin, went to the
bank and drew all the money that he
had there excepting so, which he re-
quested the banker to send to his wife
and 1t is said that this is all the money
the woman has. Some time during the
night Baldwin left the city, and. as the
story goes, he was not content with the
amount of money taken from the bank 4
but he took about $3.50 belonging to the
joint in which he worked. He has not
been heard of, and Messrs Mcdaniel and
Finley are rather anxious to learn of his
whereabouts 1t means about $500 to
each of them.
Baldwin S departure created quite a stir
among the jOintkeepers. and it is said the
bondsmen would like very much to have
him returned and made an example of to

The Commercial club is anxious

question will keep coming UP for set
tlement right along as to whether or
not this town wants to go into the
sugar beet business along this valley.
The best plan is for everybody TO get
posted and keep posted on the business.
Sugar beets have worked wonders for
Garden City They seem TO have come
they seem determined to occupy the
valley down as far and farther than
Dodge City The industry seems to be
very persistent in getting a strong foot
hold along the valley. While it took
seven years to actually get started on
a big scale in Garden City, the indus
try promises to spread very fast from
now on There seems a probability
now that at least a hundred acres of
beets will be cultivated near Dodge
City this year and that this county Will
actually be into the game in 1907.

MORE SCHOOL ROOM.
The Growing City of Norton Must Have
New Buildings

Norton. Kan, Dec. 13.=The hools
of Norton are crowded The high
school will have to double its present
capacity, and the city school building
is also crowded and will have to erect
an addition next year. One of the
representative business men of Norton
is outspOken in his statement that ad-
ditionaI school room at once is more
necessary than is any other enterprise
at this time, and he. strongly urges the
votiI7- Of bonds to- enlarge both city
and high school buildings.
The continued growth of Norton,
with her population rapidly increasing.
has been the means of Overcrowding
both school buildings. With the rails
ing of the largest corn crop in the his
tory of Norton county. and the acre
age of wheat larger than for many
years, and ample moisture at this time,
and generally looking first class, there
is no doubt the farming population will
keep on increasing, and Norton, the
county seat, will continue to grow and
take in more additions One only need
to take 4 ride through the town and
note what has been done this year.
New residences are everywhere to be
seen, homes that would be a credit to
any eastern Kansas town. And the
building progressed throughout the
preceding year, 1905, and the prospects
are flattering for its continuation in.
