misfortune few days ago of having
his house destroyed by fire. The loss
was not very great SO John is not

The vicinity of Cecil was visited

week, which done a good deal OF
damage. We understand Mr.. Huff lost
about 200 tons of hay and his house

looking somewhat barren.
Nearly all the idle men who have

work? Goliles need man bad. =
Miss Mae and Dot Ganger are out

dandy good cooks, and the men ought
to be mighty glad that they have some
one who can get them a square meal
when they come in hungry and tired.
Mabel and Della Davidson were in
from the ranch last Saturday, going
out Sunday morning with load of
harvest necessities. l tell you Lou

girls, we will grease the hack.
The 10 months old child of John
Ritohie was vrey badly scalded one
day last week. 1t seems that the
meal was about prepared. and the
coffee pot, boiling hot, was placed on
the edge of the table The little tot
pulled istelf up to the edge of the
table. and taking hold of the pot.
spilled the coffee all over it. The
child is seriously burned but is doing
as we'll as can be expected.
Quite bad hail storm visited some
parts of the country surrounding lone
last Sunday afternoon. doing consider
able damage. Mat Halvorsen had 100
acres of barley ruined and if all re-
ports are true several other farmers
lost heavily. Charlie Anderson said
that the hail was three inches deep
around his house and that some of the
hail stones were as big as the end of
a mans thumb. 1t seems too bad
that after the crop is made we have
to suffer with some other disaster.
