For several days report has been
in circulation that j. K. Pugh resid-
ing four miles south of town has re-
fused an offer of $40 an acre for his
half section, and Wednesday when he
came to town we made it a point to
ask him whether there was anything
to the report. He promptly Informed
us that an eastern party had written
TO him Just recently offering him S12,
800 for the 800 acres with his improve
ments, and offered to make a big cash
payment down and give good paper
on the BALANCE, but Mr., Pugh and his
wife after talking it over notified the
prospective purchaser that it was not
for sale at even that figure and the
matter has been dropped so far as
Mr.. Pugh is concerned. The farm is
undoubtedly one of the best in the
country, is situated on a table land.
and is as level as floor all over it,
making it attractive and in demand
by buyers. This sets a new stake in
the land values around Grinnell. Mr..
Pugh still has the letter in his pos
session containing the offer. Grin

Not long ago c. III. Willoughby, of
Oakley, was out southwest of Winona
canvassing for monument house of
Great Bend. and when night came he
stopped at the residence of A. E.
Ukele near Gill. After supper he
and his host concluded they would
take smoke so they loaded their
pipes and were soon enjoying the
soothing influence Of the weed.
Willoughby was smoking a fayorite
meerschaum which he had owned for
several years, when all at once, and
to his surprise, there was a small
eruption or explosion and his priced
mesrsehaum flew into little bits; theL
there was something doing for few
seconds. On investigation it was
found that Willoughby who had been
carrying a % calibre rifle with him,
with which to shoot small game, had
in some manner got a cartridge n his
pipe, therefore the explosion and the
the obstruction of the beautiful pipe.
