two victims. County Attorney Cloud
was one Of them and he went through
in fine shape.
In driving to kiowa Saturday we tried
to find good reason for some of the

were unable to find the outlook as bad
as some picture it. There is lots of
good wheat all around Hazelton and
kiowa.

was here Saturday looking over the
grounds for bridge east of town that

to get some Of the favors at home.
