Quarrels are like fires First there
Is a spark, then a tiny fame, then a
swapping, then a blazing fire, then
roaring confagration And the worst
kind OF quarrels are those between
friends.
Two pioneers. Daniel Simpson and
Henry Underwood. emigrated with
their families to the far west and en-
tered land owned by the government.
They had been schoolmates and owned
farms side by side. There was no oc-
casion for a dispute to arise between
them so long as they remained In the
east. for their boundaries had been sur
veyed and fixed generations ago, and,
being well fenced, the stock OF neither
could trespass upon the others prem
ises. Therefore their affection for
each other grew stronger, and the fami-
lies were further bound together by
an engagement between Eliza Simpson
and Frank Underwood. the Oldest
daughter Of the one and oldest son
of the other.
~ The two friends each entered a
quarter section of land. the two farms
being side by side. Simpsons land
was more largely covered with tim
Der than Underwoods, and this fact
became a wedge between them. A
railroad soon after their settlement on
the land was projected to run along
side their property, and it became at
once apparent that the timber would
be valuable for ties. As soon as. this
was learned Underwood became in
tsrested in his boundary line covering
as much Of a wood as it could be
stretched to cover. living on the line
between the two properties.
One morning Simpson went out to-
ward his friends property and found
Underwood driving stakes on what he
considered to be his own land. He
protested, and Underwood declared
that that was the dividing line and he
was intending to begin the next morn
ing to fell trees in order 10 be ready to
supply the railroad with ties as soon
as there was need. Simpson declared
that every tree he cut beyond a GER
tain point would be robbery Then
Underwood called Simpson a pig and
the fight was on.
The next morning the ex-friends met
on the line Of dispute. each having an
ak with which to fell timber, and be-
fore the day was over instead Of fell
ing trees they felled each other Mel
ther coming home to supper. their re-
spective families went out to look for
them and found their dead bodies, the
skulls Of both being cioven.
The trouble threw a gloom over both
families. 1t was especially deplorable
on account of the engagement Of the
I've young people. Frank Underwood.
IN order that there might be no more
trouble, sent TO the county seat for a
surveyor, who fixed the boundary. II

ARDENITES DO
NOT OBJECT TO ROAD

AT the meeting of Ardenites held
at the club house on Saturday night
IL was decided to have the board of
trustees of the colony confer with
General I. Coleman DUPONT as to the
route of the proposed boulevard
route. This was decided on when it
was stated that the engineers engag-
ed IN laying out the route had sur
veyed a line about 5000 feet west of
the colony This would cause nu-
merous tramps to infest the place, ac-
cording to the residents. It was
stated that the residents are not op-
posed to the road. but they wanted to
know the plans of General DUPONT.
AT the meeting the increase Of the
rent rate amounting to one-ninth a
the rate last year, was ratified.
