sore hand which he received Sunday while
trying to untangle COW with poke, from
a wire fence. Still he was in the best of
humor for he had just received word that
his wife would arrive home from Mime
sofa next Sunday with their six-weeks' old
daughter, and he is very anxious to see the
little one, which was born since his wife
went east on visit some three or four
months since.
While his sheep were being sheared
last week and he had several teams in town
from the ranch, Mr.. Martin embraced the
occasion and had his men make some much
needed repairs on the road over the dam
on the south side of the village
For the past couple of weeks the shear
ing plant has been one of the busiest
places in town, between showers. They
have shearcd A. l.. Martins dry band,

time with her aunt at South Heart before
coming home.
Just as we were going to press last week,
we got rumor that John Gilbertson had
purchased lot north of the track and
would start at once to erect dwelling
house. The rllmor has been very forcibly
substantiated during the past week as he
has the foundation in and all the studing
set for a a4x2S residence, and is pushing
the work right along toward an early com
pletion of the structure.
