The credulous ones, and we have
them in Guthrie county g well as else
whore were unduly excited Sunday
when the report reached that strange
and ferOcious animal or animals had
been seen near Dale. One report was
that it was two lions roaming about.
Another that itAwas o panther Of great
size. Some one reported that the two
animals had invaded the feed lot Of
Sid Reed at Monteith and killed and
almost devoured two fat steers. In
fact the stories that were told were a.
varied as the imagination Of the story
teller. The many who went down in
to that part Of the county TO salty
their curiosity returned without get
ting glimpse Of hide or hair Of these
strage beasts. One popularity about
them they only show themselves to the
favored few. In our opinion some one
down there has Q watermelon patch
that has been discovered by the boys OF
the neighborhood, and he takes this
method Of protecting them, a. . scare
OF this kind would naturally keep the
boys in at nights. -Guthrian

All of the first mortgage bond hold
ers of the north end of the Atlantic
Northern and Southern railroad met
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at II.
NJ. Boorman's office. at Atlantic for the
purpose of devising ways and means
for the future conduct of affairs of the
north end of the road. The first mort.
gage bond holders are willing to stand
by the north end people, and give them
from 10 years to 20 years in which to
pay the amount of the bonds, but to do
this it will be necessary for the people
of the north to raise about $25. 600 with
which to pay the interest on the bonds
and put the road in running condition.
1t is impossible at this time to know
just what plan will be adopted.
Word was received by phone during
the meeting from Mr.. Stearling of the
Des Moines Interban Railway of Des
Moines, and Mr.. Morgan of the Des
Moines Union Of Des Moines, that they
had completed the appraisal of the
north end and that they had appraised
it at $23S, 600.
