purchaser into trouble.

A Good representation of what
these sort of fellows would do
came up during the excursion
last week. One of our real eS-
tate firms brought down a gentle
man from one of the northern
states ITO give names is a great
temptation) and Immediately the
buzzard began to watch and wait
until finally his time came and
he swooped down and captured
the prey. Told all kinds of scar.
nv yarns about the real estate
man. Being from the same
state he warmed up to this nor
them "brother' until he priced
him a section of land that had
been listed for sale with all the
real estate firms in the city, and
which, by some hook or crook,
he had got a line on. Mr.. Nor
thern Man went to look at it.
He had been told that because
he was from the same state he
could get the land for less than
it had been priced, in fact he
could almost get it without hav.
ing to pay agents commission.
The agent who brought Mr.. Nor.
thernertothis county didntknow
Of these things and the next day
took the gentleman down in the
same portion of the same coun-
try and in passing the same sec
ton he asked the agent what the
land was worth. The agent
gave the price of two dollars
less per acre than Mr.. Carrion
had priced it, and still the res
ponsible agent made his five per
cent commission.
Better stick to the legitimate
dealers in any line Of business.

this property will return to him
a good revenue on the invest
ment.
Judge Cyrus Eakman this
week also bought a tract of land
lying on the North side Of the
Canyon across from that pur-
chased by Mr.. Lester. The
tract contains $40 acres for
which Mr.. Eakman paid S9,2S8
or eighteen dollars per acre.
This is likewise unimproved
land. Judge Eakman has seen
Randall County land 90 from one
dollar per acre TO the present
price and he has therefore de-
cided that if he ever gets any
considerable body of land here
this is the time to buy it, not
later.

SOMETHING GOING ON.
Local People are Buying Real Estate
in this City and County.

Confidence. Yes, that is the
word that expresses something
that had taken hold Of the peo-
pie of this county many years
ago and it was not misplaced.
Everyone who has seen this
country grow from the cattle
range to the farm has yearly be-
come more and more impressed
with the great future Of it.
Our citizens have come to the
time when, if they want land at
anything like old prices, they
will have 10 secure it now. This
week there have been several
deals closed in which local peO-
pie have been securing lands
near town. Among these is l..
T. Lester, President of the First
National Bank OF this city who
has purchased a portion of the
old Palo Duro Club grounds,
containing Hap acres for which
he paid S16,272.0O, which is an
average price of $1,000 per acre.
The land is entirely raw there
being none of it in cultivation,
and in addition thereto there is
quite a considerable portion
which runs down into the canyon
and is not available for cultivat-
ing. Mr.. Lester has been re.
siding in the Plains country for
many years and in buying this
land he expresses the greatest
confidence in the outcome. He
is a very careful, conservative
business man and knows that

Big Wolf Gets Too Familiar.

In olden days the cry of the
cuyOte wolf was not an uncOm-
mon thing in this country but as
the country has become develop
ed this animal has been forced
back and back until now they
seldom are seen close in.
Early yesterday morning
John Knight who lives in the
edge of town, heard d commotion
among his chickens and grab
bing his gun went out to investi
gate. Hiding behind a peach
tree he soon saw that it was a
coyote and he turned loose on
him, killing him almost instant
ly. He used a shot gun with
number two shot and Mr..
Knight says that the wolf came
within twenty five steps of him.
The animal is said TO have been
one of the largest seen in this
country for u long time.

Loving That Northe IN Man.

This town has the liveliest,
most energetic and reliable real
estate firms of any town in the
Panhandle, men who are doing
more for the development of the
agricultural interests and the
settlement of the county than all
the rest of the people in the
country combined. They do a
legitimate, honest business, go
ing into the northern and east
ern state and advertise the cOun-
try, paying their own good hard
earned money in order to induce
the farmers of those countrys to
come down and investigate. OF
course they do this for a profit
and we are glad to say they are
all prospecting. They deserve
to do so.
On the other hand we have a
few, and we are glad TO say only
a veryfew, men who stand around
during the excursion times like
a buzzard on IA fence, doing moth
ing himself but waiting for some
one else TO kill that he might eat,
waiting for a chance to butt in
and steal away those whom the
honest dealer has brought to
this country. These cartons
claim TO be honest. They are
not or they wouldn't steal. They
claim they can do this and they
can do that but when it comes to
the pinch they always get either
themselves or their %purloined
