C. B. Roland was in town last
Saturday for the first time since
his accident. He is not able to
work yet, but can get about pref
ty we'll. 1t will be remembered
that he was hurt by being caught
under the roof of a falling barn.
The collapse of the barn was
caused by the weight of snow
upon it.
D. D. Smith, who lives north
east of town, reports that the
c1tworms are not damaging him
a great deal this year. He
doesn't take any stock in the
theory that good cultivation one
year will insure immunity from
cut worms the following year,
because last year the worms took
two paintings of corn for him on
ground that had been we'll culti-
vated and kept free of weeds the
previous year.

gave the entertainment the

st-also to Miss Nellie Long and
Mr.. George Merrifield for recita-
ions which were encored to the
echoes.

Message from Santa Fe asked
hat preliminary steps be taken
o get recruits here and stated
hat a recruiting officer would be
lere shortly. Bills were printed
nd thorough publicity given the
all, but the recruiting officer did
lot show up. AS far as we are
informed, no recruits showed up,
either. As a matter of fact
here seems to be the utmost in
Inference among the young men
Eligible for this service. They |
10 not seem at all inclined to help |
lefend their state against bandit
aids.
j. R. Dennis mule team Great
ID some excitement on the street
Saturday evening. They had
,een hitched to w T. Guinn's
