"Around the Town..

are old time favorites, hence there
will be large audience at the La

merry musical whirl Around the
Town" The piece abounds with
catchy music. bright lines and is well
staged and equally as well costumed.
The co-stars have not reserved the
center of the stage for themselves,
but have surrounded themselves
with company of clever players
who ably assist them to hand over
the fun which comes thick and fast.
The piece of course offers little
plot. 1t is the manner in which the
galaxy of good players handle their
respective parts that makes Around

occupants to the ground. Mrs.
Madigan fortunately escaped with
out any injury whatever. but Mr..
Madigan had one hip badly lacerated,
and it will probably be a month be-

SHELTON ON The Map
The DRAWING OF LOTS

The lot drawing at the new town
of Shelton in the Ho'brook Valley
occurred as scheduled on Wednesday
afternoon, and was witnessed by
fully 700 people. A train of seven
coaches loaded to their utmost ca
pacity. left Rocky Ford over the
Arkansas Valley railroad about elev-
en- O'Clock. going directly to the
townsite. arriving there about noon,
when the crowd was turned loose to
help themselves to the free lunch
that had been prepared for the occa-
sion, to which they did ample justice.
Immediatly after lunch all ad-
journed to the large tent. During
the preliminary arrangements the
Rocky Ford band discoursed music
to the delight of all present. and
then the drawing was commenced.
Lots to the number of 400 had been
previously sold at the uniform price
of $50 each. and slips of paper con-
tanning the number of a lot and its
location were placed in one box. and
in another the names of all purchas-
ers of lots; one being drawn from
each box simultaneously, the pur-
chaser securing the lot which was
marked on the slip that was drawn
from the box at the same time his
name was drawn. Some very choice
locations We're secured by the lucky
ones, and some of the others were

some of the catchy music and to
laugh at some of the witty lines are
