Review
NJ. s. kiersey returned the last OF
shs week from an extended trip
through Oklahoma. He spent some
Time In the oil fields OF the new state
and was greatly impressed. He visit-
ed George Price at Broken Arrow,
| OKLA.
q. c. Summers, OF Spruce, came
through Butler on Wednesday from
Ft Scott, where he purchased a fine
jack from Jas. E kash, six miles
east OF Fit. Scott. Mr.. Summers will
stand this jack with his horse at his
barn one mile and hall east OF Bal
lard.
Sunday night about 10 O'Clock the
residence, stable, sheds and a coal
tipple on the old Lamar farm, ~
miles south OF here, were totally
destroyed by fire. The work was
purely that Of an incendiary. OH
GERS have been at work on the case
but no clue to the culprit can he
found, the party or parties who did
the act having covered their steps
entirely Amsterdam Enterprise.
The story is told on j. Emmett
Hook that while waiting over In Ne
yada Tor q train to Rutler he happen-
ed TO DRIFT into a Rilden emporium
where wet goods are dispensed, and
notified the man behind the guns
that his son was at the hotel and
under no circumstances were they to
sell him anything to drink. The clerk
cautiously asked about the young
mans age, when Emmett proudly
informed him that he WAS six weeks
old and dandy.
J. A. Boron who was at Butler
during the week says the good roads
meeting was largely attended and
much interest manifested, but the
principal drawback to this or any
other public improvement by the
county, is shortage of funds. The
present assessment does not provide
sufficient revenue for the constantly
growing demands made on the coun-
ty court Tor road, bridge and other
Improvements, not TO mention the
other running expenses.-Rich Hill
Review.

form the duties that will devolve

this reason, The Sun commends the
wisdom OF the court in naming him
for this important position FL
Dorado Sun.
