A telephone dispatch from Nyhart
on Tuesday informed us that the big
Foohey dredge boat is tied up at the

expect to try to dam the slough on
each side OF the ditch with
prairie hay and cover the hay over
With dirt. This will be slow and
expensive method, but is the one
practically agreed on In the absence
OF Mr.. Foohey, who is away In the

Arch L. Sims, prominent real
estate man, OF Mt. Vernon, was In
Butler the last OF the week on bust
ness and seeing old friends. Mr..
Sims lett Butler about twenty years
ago, but has always kept In touch
with our people. He said he began
to take The TINES with It's initial
number and has never missed an
issue In more than thirty years.
Arch has prospered In a financial
way and is rich in this worlds goods
but has not found the one good
woman to share his prosperity and
is getting to the point where his
case is almost hopeless. II we could
induce him to remain In Butler for
few weeks we feel sure he would sue
cumb to the charms OF one OF our
pretty girls.
