Sun and LAKE City Happenings

OuH uHU IUhe wy happenings
A blowout" at the ranch last
Thursday.
Doc Tedrow and wife of Medi-
cine Lodge are visiting friends in
Sun City.
H. Fisher left Smith & Barnes
grand piano at the G. w. Harper
home last week.
Uncle Rube Lake is spreading on
in various ways of late. He buys
and sells anything, don't matter
what.
Would like to know if anyone
has seen anything of that pale
green, blush ''yaller" dog. He left
home next week and isn't back yet.
Green Adams treated an army of
his relation to big turkey gobbler
last Thursday. Green is always
ready to do the right thing.
1t has recently come to light that
Misses Lena Shigley and Grace
Bissantz are skilled horse back rid
ers. The way they can dash through
the All is not slow.
VIM. Ward, Sun City's leading
stockman, has recently purchased
the famoushorse (Videgossey) of ].
E. Thomas. Mr.. Ward is always
on the lookout for something worth
having.
Chas. Marsh attended the Sun
City box supper but he declares
the boys up there are too game for
him. He said he was willing to
pay $500 for a box but $1,000 was
too much. A good head on you
kid.
A landslide of Medicine Lodge
yankees came to this port last
Thursday morning and didn't let
up until they had "shot up" west
Barber county. If they all were as
harmless as Walt Sears the bird
crop would never suffer.
Saying nothing, the fellow who
drank too much rain water and
tried to act ''alex" at the Sun City
box supper and social, was COM
plete success. Over thirty dollars
were taken in and everyone had a
good time and plenty to eat.
1t is said that the Lake City
restaurant which is being run by
Mr.. Thrasher and wife, furnished
the most elegant supper for the
| Odd Fellows last Thursday that
has ever been seen in the city. That
is saying a great DEAL for when we
come to think about it Lake has
been a burg for nearly two score
years.
/ The School Entertainment at
Lake City Thanksgiving evening
was good thing. The pupils of
both primary and advanced depart
ments rendered their parts with
credit to themselves and their
teacher The Walsh family have
the interest of the school at heart
and are giving all around solid
satisfaction.
AS rule most tobacco chewers
manage to keep the ''juice" remov-
ed from their mouth corners and
chin, but there was a man landed
in Lake City not very long ago, a
foreigner, who had "ambeer"
smeared over his face at least an
eighth of an inch thick. "There is
nothing unclean within itself, says
the good book, but when a plug of
tobacco and filthy gentleman"
mix up it makes a combination
that is enough to mortify the stom-
| ach of a canine.
An l. o. o. F. lodge was insti-
tuted at Lake City last Thursday
night which with the school enter.
tainment brought the largest crowd
into Lake that has been there fol-
many days. The following lodge
officers were elected: H. F. Miller
noble grand; c. w. Harper vice;
Dave Freemyer, secretary; A.
j.. Hargis, treasurer. Those who
were instructed in the "miseries of
Odd Fellowship are, Henry Bay.
singer, NJ. A. Davis, Chas. Marsh
John Purdy, James Garten, G. S
Miller, c. w. Land, Jack Hickman
and many Others whose names the
writer failed to get. The work
which was put on by the Isabel
team continued until nearly day
