The home of H. Llewelyn
Jones was the scene of much
merrlmcnt last Saturday even

Herbert entertained IN honor of
the Hussars, some members of
which were friends of the Jones

were in return entertained by
vacal and instrum entail selections
by Meade talent. On the whole
the evening was most pleasant

after few more specialties by
members of the Hussars, the
party broke up. All were loud
in their praises of their enter
tainers.

wood.

The south livery barn in
Englewood was the scene of a
rather serious shooting affair on
Sunday, January 9TH sat about
$3.50 p. IN. The two men who
took part were c. A. Starkey and
Cliff Cope, both of Zelma, Okla
homa. Cope received three bull
lets, ore striking under his
right eye, glancing shot in his
left cheek, another in his right
side, and a fourth cutting the
rim of his hat. Starkey receiv-
ed two shots, one in the right
side and another striking his
watch and remaining in his
clothing. Both will recover it is
thought.
1t seems that Starkey and his
son went to the barn to attend to
their team and there met Cope
who was in the Office, and upon
seeing Starkey made for his gun.
The shooting seems to be the
the result of trouble the two
men, who live within a mile OF
each other, had previously ex-
perienced.
Cope is about IS years old and
Starkey is about so and both
weigh in the neighborhood OF
200 pounds.
Starkey is in Jail at Ashland
awaiting preliminary hearing
on the 18 to an assault with in
tent to kill charge.
Complaint was also flet
against Cope, but his condi
ton prevented his being taker
to Jail.

Track Cleared.

The road between Pratt and
Dalhart is now practically clear
and unless more snow falls, it
will not be long before all trains
will again be running on sched-
ule time. This is the second
time within the last month that
the road has been blocked, the
first time being few days after
Christmas when there was no
train for two days. The most
recent blockade was a little long
ger, there being no trains from
Friday morning until Sunday
evening. Rotary snow plows
were at work out of both divis-
ions and all the availa BILE section
crews were also at work. For a
time the cuts we're filled almost
as rapidly as they we're cleared.
Sunday evening the first train
since Friday came in loaded with
mail. At this time the snow
is melting and from present in
dications the weather will mod
crate within short time.

1t was reported the first of the
week that family in Beaver
county had frozen to death, but
we are of the opinion that this is
a mistake for no authentic re-
ports concerning the report have
as yet been received.
