The Raymer enterprise., 1912-03-28
Mr.. List was down from Buckingham

Mr.. List was down from Buckingham
today.
John Fritz was visiting his brothers
in Raymer last week. He is going to
make another trip to Denver to have
his arm looked after again.
Mrs. Lillian Dibble, like her sister
Mrs. Cutler, selected fine day to re-
turn home from Omaha, arriving on
the belated train last Saturday even
ing. She found it best to remain in
town all night, as the road out to her
claim is long one and the walking was
not the best last Saturday after dark.
Will Dunlap went down to Stoneham
last Saturday to take home the team
which he got to drive home with from
that town last week. He had intended
to go by team and return by train, but
finally decided to take a team of his
own along, and it was fortunate he did
so or he would have needed the services
of the team again.
Mrs. /. D. Williams and little grand
daughter arrived in Raymer last Fri
day. Mr.. Williams drove across the
country bringing his team and stock.
They have located on the north half of
section fifteen about mile and half
south of Raymer. We certainly hope
that they will like the country and the
people and that the latter will give
them cordial welcome to their new
home.
Word has been received here telling
of the death of Mrs. Martin Bommelyn
at St. Peter, Mimi, March Goth. Mr..
Bommelyn had been sick for long
time and unable to be with her hus-
band on his claim. In February Mr..
Bommelyn received word that she was
failing and hastened to her side. Be-
sides the husband five children, rang
ing in age from 6 to II years, remain
to mourn her early demise.
Mr.. Reuben Lacock left Monday for
his old home in Iowa. We dislike to
see Mr.. Lacock go away, but the con-
ditions of Mrs. Lacock's health would
seem to make it advisable that he do
so. However, he says that he never
lived any place that he liked better than
Colorado, and it may be that things
will shape around so that he will be
back again. We certainly hope so.
Claude accompanied his father as far
as Sterling.
The Ladies' Aid society which was to
meet at the home Of Mrs. Hurtgen last
Saturday were reminded that it was
Mrs. Snyders birthday so they met
little earlier and then drove out to her
cozy home where we arrived just in
time to prevent Mrs. Snyder from go.
ing down town to attend the society as
usual. The coffee pot was soon boiling
and lunch was served by Mesdames
Cutler and Graves. Nine members be-
ing present. A very pleasant after
noon was spent by all present, but was
sorry that the other members could not
have been there. We left wishing her
many more happy birthdays.
! A. 6. Nickerson took up horse ov-
er year ago. He advertised the ami
nal and did all he could to find the
owner. Now it seems that Colorado
laws do 10. sanction that sort of work
at all. Here is what some state de-
partment tells him he should have done
inside of five days after taking up an
estray, he should notify the secretary
Of the stale board of stock inspection,
giving all identification marks, brands
etc. You are not even authorized to
surrender the animal to the owner af-
ter that, but the Denver officials will
attend to that with all the red tape
necessary, advertising the animal in
some stock paper, and selling the ami.
NAL If no owner is found etc. 1t might
have been a splendid law for the early
days, but it fits present conditions
about as lily as can be imagined. We
know Of several instances where ad-
vertising lost animals in this paper has
brought the animal and owner together
Colorado estray laws need fixing.
