Gunnison, May IL, 1903,

Dear Mary
Just finished writing to Jack, and
will drop you n few lines also.
Am too lazy to do any work this
afternoon. Went to the school enter
tainment at the Masonic Hall last
night. Misses Allison and Cleghorn
were the teachers in charge, and the
affair went of fine. Inez Warner was
SO cute dressed as a grandmother, in
her part entitled "Grandma's Dream -
Tommy Hogan, George Trevarthen,
Eddie Jones and Eddie Raglan had
good parts, the last named represent
ing Negro waiter. Pauline Metroz
was dressed like a little boy in the
piece: Baked Beans Hot" and Katie
Arch was in duet.
My boy and girl are more interested
in ball games just now. The boy was
telling me all about the game yester-
day between the Reds and the Has
Beens. The Reds won. Will Lehan
is their captain, and the rest of the
boys on the team are: Matt Schmitz,
John Hogan, Chester Smith, Frank
Sullivan, Clyde Brewer, Fred Winters,
Earl Mullin, and Melvin Herrick.
Oh, sure! went down to vote at
the school election. Wasn't very ex-
citing. H. p. Ferguson was elected
secretary Of District No. 1. Al Bald
win, Mrs. Jos. Watson, Mrs. John
Webb, and J. F. Kenzie were elected
directors. Mrs. Ed Wiley is secretary
Of the Vidal school district, and w. X.
Prosser, secretary of the Doyleville
district.
Jack said in his letter that Mrs. Ed.
Hyland was elected in the school cleo
tion at White Pine. He seems very
much encouraged over his mining
prospects up there. Said he made n
trip to the Pocahontas claims above
White Pine, where Messrs. Lowell d
Edgeworth plan to spend the sum-
mcr developing the property.
Edith Welch will teach the White
Pine school this term. She just closed
her school at Parlin.
Jack wrote that the postoffice at
North Star has been closed, and Post
master Chas. Macy Of White Pine
went up there the other day and check
ed up the business.
We all miss Jack, but am glad he
went when he did, as Dick Ball would
be wanting him to go with him to the
Klondyke with him. Mr.. Ball sold
his ranch at Howeville to Peyton and
j. X. Spann, and will start on his trip
soon.
Some of my neighbors pulled out
yesterday. Mrs. Al Cummings and
sister, Miss Charlotte Goulding have
started for their old home in Zanes-
vile, Ohio.
The lady next door went to the train
to see them off and said that A. w.
Mergelman Of lola, was on the train
going to the hospital in Salida. He
got several bones broken in a runaway
at his ranch.
Frank Brown also got his collar
bone broken the other day when bur-
70 kicked him. His mother keeps the
boarding house at the Hathaway mine.
Heard there was two brand new
baby boys in town. One at the Chas.
Chinery home, and the other belongs
to Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Cairns. Mrs.
c. is staying with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. H. C. Tapscott.
While 1 was down to vote, met
John Latimer on the street. He said
he has sold his store at Fort Collins.
Helen just came home and says a
new preacher is moving into the Epis-
copal parsonage. think she is mis-
taken, though. as i hear Guy Palmer
and wife have rented the parsonage.
The local papers had an item about
Tad Goudy committing suicide in Salt
Lake the other day. He was Frank
Goudy's son and was born here twenty
years ago.
Must close now and get my letters
mailed. For this time Good bye,
AGNES.
