LOCALS AND PERSONALS.

The cOngeSted appearance OF this
weeks Chieftain is due to sickness
of the mechanical force and, there
fore, shortage of help to properly
handle the usual volume Of matter
During the month of october
Mrs. J. L. Wood received from 30
laying hens 33Ka dozen eggs which
she sold at 60 cents per dozen or a
total of $2010 The feed bill during
the month was $12lS leaving a
profit of $792.
Mrs. j. o. Barger returned home
Tuesday night from Osceola, Mo-,
where she had been spending some
time with her parents. During her
visit Mrs. Barger was in an auto
mobile smash in which, her left
shoulder was badly Wrenched and
one of her lower limbs badly brllis-
ed A sister who was with her at
the time suffered even worse and
came nearly being killed The two
ladies were driving in a buggy
when a heavily loaded truck which
got beyond control on hill, ac-
cidentally ran into the buggy.
Mrs. J. FL. Guffey who has been
seriously i'll for the past two or
three months is reported some
what better. She spent short
time at La Junta and later return
ed home little improved. Her con
dition soon became such that Mr..
Gutfey, who is janitor and custo-
dian OF the Santa Fe depot and
grounds had to quit work and re-
main home and care for her owing
to the difficulty in securing proper
help to aid here Arrangements
have now been made for semi
professional nurse to care for Mrs.
Gutfey and her husband has resum-
eel his work at the depot. Mr.. Guf-
fey wishes The Chieftain to- ex-
press the gratitude of the family to
the many friends who have been so
kind, considerate and helpful dur
ing their aftliction, which really
dates from last winter when the
whole family was afflicted with in
fiuenza alomst simultaneously
