points made by MIR. Lind have been set
tled-chiefiy that Huerta is to be con-
Sidered as eliminated from the pres dental
race.

by the wrecking crew and remained
in the yards until Monday morning.

The engine looked as if it were ready
for the junk pile. The cab, pilot and
tender were demolished and all the
trimmings, pipes and rods on both
sides were either torn off or bent and
twisted. In spite of that, trainmen
say the engine will soon be fixed up
in the shops and placed in service in

Telling the Truth.

II is not pleasant and profitable al
ways to tell the truth in the columns

grief. Only few days ago the ed

that he would tell the truth in the
future; and the next issue of the pa
per contained the following items:
John BONN, the LATEST merchant in

John Coyle, our groceryman, is do
ing poor business. His store is
dirty and dusty. How can he do
much?

heart failure. Whisley killed him.
Married Miss Sylvan Rhodes and
James Conlin, last Saturday, at the
Baptist parsonage. The bride is a
very ordinary town girl, who doesn't
know any more about cooking than
jaekrabbit, and never helped her
mother three days in her life. She is
not beauty by any means, and has
gait like a duck. The groom is an
up-to-date loafer. He has been living
off the old folks all his life, and is
not worth shucks. 1t will be a hard
life.
The governor of our great state,
very ordinary man, and who was
elected by accident, was here yester-
day. He has very few friends here
now. He promised some of the voters
in this precinct piece of pie in event
of his election, but had forgotten all
about it when the time to hand over
the little offices rolled around.
