 In about the year one million, ac- cording to the present degree of progress, will people quit being "took in" by strangers. A fellow came along few days ago pretending to be trav- cling man and got Mike Coxsey to handle a $125 draft for him-he need ment yet and will keep it as a souvenir The draft was drawn upon the Bank of Rector, Ark, and the party presenting it gave his name as Clendening. We notice by the papers that Mr. Glen dening succeeded in finding quite few other fellows whose inclination to favor a stranger exceeded their business judgment. Such is life!
 Mike Coxsey was reported very sick Saturday, but you can't keep good man down. Mike is sick when he is sick, but he can't afford to be sick much. He is too busy.
