Our old friend Frank Cuddeback,
who owns a good farm at BucyruS,
Kansas, sends remittance for another
year. Frank has been with The
Times about as long as the present
editor, and that has been something
over quarter of a century.

Fred Lefker came in Saturday from
his home in Fl. Scott to visit relatives
and old friends in Butler. He had
not been back since leaving six years
ago. He went out to Amoret on
Monday to visit his father, Judge
John A. Lefker, who is living with
his brother-in-law, w. w. Brown.
Art. L. Gilmore, one of the strong
Democratic workers, and substantial
farmers of Deep Water, favored us
with a call and renewal. Mr.. Gil
more's name has often been mention
ed in connection with a good county
office and it is in the pot for the fu-
ture.
Mrs. j. M. Wells was up from Ne
vada to visit old friends for a few
days, and remembered The Times
pleasantly. She went out to visit the
old home place, northwest of town,
said things looked natural about the
farm, but there had been a complete
change in the neighborhood.

Orville Smith, young son of George
Smith, while trying to investigate the
'insides" of a train signal torpedo,
which he had found, had his hand
badly mangled, two fingers on his left
hand torn off to the first joint and his
face powder burned by its explosion.
He was just trying to break it open
with hammer.

W. H. Dye, of Amsterdam, report
ed to the county clerk, on Tuesday,
, that he had killed a full grown wolf
and had the scalp as an exhibit. Mr..
Weeks notified him that if he would
bring or send the scalp to his office,
accompanied blythe proper affidavit,
that it would mean four dollars in his
pocket. Little wolves are paid for at
the rate of $500 per head. Mr.. Dye
said the wolf was run down by his
dogs and killed.
Henry Smith shot a coon from the
top of tree on the Miami last week,
not an unusual circumstance, but
when the body was examined it was
found to have a collar around the
neck, with short piece of chain at
tached to it, which bore evidence of
having been there a long time. 1t
was an unusually large coon, and Mr..
Smith thinks it must have escaped
from captivity a long time ago, pos
sibly several years.
