Chicago; w. S. Brooks, general live
stock agent, Chicago; A. L. Halde-

Park and Cummings Spring, and also
took trip out to the oil well. While
coming down the incline at Cummings
Springs Mr.. Patterson sustained a
fall, which gave him a severe shak-

at this particular place would be a
mighty fine improvement and enable
easy access to the top. No doubt,
later on, this matter will be attend
