The weed burner on the Rock Island

About two weeks ago a young man
near White rode his horse into town
to see his girl and while he was in one
of the stores somebody took the horse
for a joke. 1t was at first supposed
the horse was stolen and Sheriff
Miner was called into the case. A
day or two later the horse was fouhu
at the home of the owner. If the horse
was found in possession of anybody
but the owner it might not have been
such a joke.

day purchasing fencing for an S0-acre
tract which he purchased this season.
He now has three quarter sections OF
land all fenced and finely improved.
Only twenty-five years ago he worked
by the month for f. L. Squirting on the
farm, and by careful management has
bought and paid for this fine farm
since then. His success shows what a
man can do if he uses his head rs
we'll as his muscles and stays on the
job.
The sophomores defeated the fresh
men in the bag rush at State College
Saturday. 1t has been the custom
heretofore for the s%ophomores to steal
and lock up the freshmen the day or
night before the game in order to
weaken their ranks. This time the
freshies kept together and Friday
night applied to Sheriff MINER to lock
them in the county Jail which was
done, and 81 of them slept in the padd-
ed cell and other soft spots behind the
steel bars. The beds were most too
soft and the boys did not sleep well
which probably had something to do
with their defeat the following day.
