Sun and Lake City Happenings

Robt. English has rented the G..
wv. house for his place of going in
and coming out.
| Mrs. Young who resides west of
Sun City, left last Friday for Car
thage, Mo-, to visit relatives.

time for square meal at the Red
wine hotel.
George Lott, wife and daughter,
Miss Bernice, returned last Tues
day from visit in the eastern part
of the state.
| Last, Tuesdays rain was a bump.
er. Corn fields that were given
up for dead are again showing
some signs of life.
Sun City young peoples meeting
is considerably on the mend. Each
occasion marks an increase in at
tendance and general interest.
Leroy Scott, one of Sedgwick
county's stockmen, is stopping with
John Campbell. He is trying to
locate a good ranch that is for sale.
A. ]. Hargis and wife who have
visited at Colorado Springs, ex.
tended their journey recently to
Utah where they will take in the
sights for awhile.
Without any preacher or any
ceremonies of any kind, Mrs. Har-
ry Millar and Miss Lena Shigley
were baptized last Tuesday-on
the road between Lake City and
Campbell's place.
Miss Edith Boughten of Sedg-
wick dropped in at Lake City last
Tuesday afternoon and to make a
long item short, will say that AL
bert Redwine seems to wear an un-
usually satisfied expression.
1t is claimed that Walter Saun-
ders took the whole family to
the party Thursday evening, but
Walter ought to know about that
if anyone does. He says he only
took his steady girl and the baby.
Fred Phye who has been faith
full servant at the Skinner ranch for
the past four years, has at last CIV
en- the cowpuncher's life the shake.
He will probably make his home
in Lake City or Medicine Lodge.
Warren Harper drove a couple of
drummers to Coats Tuesday of last
week and owing to the storm was
obliged to spend the night in town.
The kid claims he had to pay dou-
bic fare just for sleeping crosswise
in bed. This, we think, is very
unfair.
During the rain and hail storm
that visited this section of the coun-
| ty last Tuesday, a small "twister"
passed through Joe Massey's place,
upsetting alfalfa ricks, unroodng
buggy shed and doing some dam
age to their residence. 1t is need
less to say that there were some
big eyes made while these things
were happening.
Another of those occasions called
a Surprise happened at the Free
man home two miles north of Sun
last Thursday evening, Jim Ohm
stead being the man of honor.
Both old and young were present
and the way ice cream and cake
were snatched up and thrown
down is a matter of no little COM
ment. Mr.Olmstead who halls from
Kansas City, helped to celebrate
his birthday-being only 40 years
old and unmarried yet still able to
step high, wide and handsome.
| A team of mules driven by Riley
Lake became frightened at the
westbound train Saturday morning
and making very abrupt turn,
upset the wagon and landed Riley
upon the ground in most unmer-
full Misunderstanding his right
arm as nearly as was possible, at
the socket joint. He was quickly
taken home and DR.. Coleman who
arrived shortly afterward put the
limb in its proper place and allie
waited his suffering to a considera.
bic extent. During the day the
arm became out of repair again
but Drs. Rogers and Coleman soon
had him ia thriving order. We're
sorry to learn of this accident but
are satisfied to know that our sub
! ject will come through with a
"vhooDinp'' ma iority election day.
