Dear Mary
Just received your very kind invita-
ton to Thanksgiving dinner, but will
have to decline Jack isn't home, YOU
know, and we have no horse and bug
gy. Every time see horse or COW,
it makes me wish we had ranch.
A: H.. Judy this week bought the
Is. +. Melton ranch in northwest
Gunnison, and last week. o. ID. Benz
ent bought the old j. w. Long place
near Ohio City.
III Jack does not come home. the
children and ] are going to Thanks
giving dinner at the New York Cafe.
The menu was published in the local
papers, and sure sounds good Be-
sities the turkey and fixings, there is
to be baked mountain trout with to-
mato sauce, and also New England
land boiled dinner. And all for 35
cents plate.
i thought we could have a better
dinner cheaper and with less work by
dining out. The children enjoy going
to the restaurant once in u while, and
besides they have been working 50
hard at school this term. All of the
schools will have Thanksgiving ex-
N'~.SSSS eA<an VII dIttTIlOOT, u
basket ball game will be played be-
tween the local girls team and the
Montrose high school.
Helen has been telling me about the
mock trial the high school pupils are
going to have. II is a lawsuit brot
by Chauncey Summers in behalf of
Avis Eells & Co., against Mable Walk
er & Co.
The boy said Frank Zugelder's
party for the ninth grade was fine.
Speaking of parties-I had the
loveliest time last Wednesday, at the
party given by Mrs. f. f. Mueller
and Mrs. Celia Mullen. Over 900 were
invited to the Woodman Hall and an
orchestra played thruout the evening.
At supper time, several little girls
helped serve. noticed Lillian Mil
Ter, Margaret Sanford, Virgie Mueller,
Marguerite Estes, Josephine ZuRelder.
and Vera and Alta Adams.
Yes, heard about that shooting ac-
cident at the Hathaway mine. Mrs.
Marie Browns small son, Frank ac-
cidentally shot his brother Fred, but
the latter is recovering.
Jack has been gone all week; up
at Bowerman, l guess. There was a
big strike made in the property be-
longing to Jack Mills, "The Cock of
the "North," lode Jack wrote yes
terday that he would be there for a
while.
Ammbrose Caufman has been ap-
pointed postmaster at Bowerman and
mail goes up regularly.
Heard that Harry StuIl sold a half
interest in his mine, the Little An
ME-" at that camp.
This is one dull town lately. No
weddings, funerals or Storkyille ar
rivals. Oh yes, an old fellow named
John Young, was found dead in bed
at Sapinero the other day. Just died
from natural causes, they say.
Heard yesterday that contest suit
over the estate Of Pat Bowling, has
been postponed. H. A. Fuller, an at
torney from Mt. Ayr, Iowa, came in
to take part in the case.
Reinhard Holloway is leaving to-
morrow for his old home in Switzer-
land to visit his aged mother whom
ne has not seen since 1874.
Thos. Huxtable Pitkin is also po-
ing across the pond-to New South
Wales, on visit.
The lady next door says Mrs. F. S.
Cuthbert bought new Smith Barnes
piano today from the Knight-Camp-
bell Music Co., of Denver.
MY neighbor was saying someone
here had letter this week from Bob
and Will Cooper, who are mining in
wyoming. The boys are in love with
that part Of the country.
