Gently purchased from Lem Kyger.
We are advised that the sLyceum
show Saturday night was: not very
largely attended and the show WIS
not as good as expected although we
had this picked out for the best as
it was the first number.
Cyrus Cowan who has been farm
ing down on the Crooked l. Ranch
this summer, brought to this Office
yesterday large sugar beet which
was about the size of a half bushel.
He had about two acres of these
beets and they will yield about IS

els he will have 1900 from the two
acres. He has them contracted to
the ranch for feeding purposes.
The special edition to the Globe
is out and while it is good to some
extent in does not come. up to the
expectations. The edition is print
ed on common paper and the work
was done at Hutchinson. Three

the News, and we understand Mr..
w. R. Stanford. the promoter,
charged real estate men S cents per
copy for various amounts of from
IS to 500 copies, besides he charg-
ed the merchants and others for
&rite-ups from So. so to $40 apiece,
of course he probably divided with
the Globe. 1t is neat little graft
in the guise of advertising the coun-
try.
We are advised that they have
e.badger fights" down at Guymon
Okla. last week Mr.. E. H. Burns,
a new travelling man for Hutchin-
son house took part in one of these
famous fights. Everything had
been arranged as usual and. this
gentleman had hold of string to
the barrel which contained the
ssdadger" and when all was ready
his nerve failed him and he would
not pull the string. We presume
he became alarmed as the excite
ment attendant upon such events
was too much for him. He left
town as soon as possible and 1t /:
safe to say he will steer clear o.
these events in the future.
