HITS And MISSES

That the people north and west OF
Comertown ought to be delighted with
the road Honest Jens Ibsen give them.
Sheridan County ought to come and
view it as we'll as the County Com
nissioners. We have asked since the
glorious davs of Coryell for a road
south of the track from Jim Meow
ans southeast corner into town and
we got nothing. If anyone knows
/ why his Honor Mr.. Ibsen came out
early one morning, SO early that ne
was mistaken for a booze runner. 1t
/ is said he was out all night in fact he
made the statement himself that he
didn't have breakfast until eleven
o'clock A. M. now why all this rush
81 per cent of the people that put
Ibsen where he is, wanted the road
south of the track, but he did not care
for that. He throws something like
800 of the county's money in road
that will never be Travelled.
We did not want to go to Halver
! Johnsons but wanted a short road in
to Comertown. All we asked of him
to give us the right of way, it can be
gotten for a very small sum only
two miles. The owners Mr.. Conner and
! Oloffiin donated the land II 1T was
fenced. There was a meeting called
and Ibsen was asked to do the right
thing but he had been tickeled under
the chin again and had good feed
said he had made the promise in writ
ing and could not back out now. The
road crew is moved away after strik-
ing a big mud hole they could not
! get through and we are still without
a road to either DoOley or COmertoWn.
We can't help but wonder why All that
are in favor of taking Jens Ibsen to
Alaska and feeding him some of them
tainted crabs manifest by saying aye.
Well / wonder who will board the
school mans in District 80. 1t will
soon be time to meet all trains and
there is the school houses to be clean
ed When the school board cleans
them they get $500 but if they let
anyone else in on the job they can
only get $500. Hauling coal is the
same, keep a good thing in the family.
Edwin Bergebakken got his foot hurt
quite seriously getting it caught in
the mower wheel.
Henry Ehrmanntraut has a gobbler
that weighs 80 pounds. He feeds it
on beefsteak.
Jack R6ack will return this fall to
Sheridan county. He has been at
Shelby with Tommy Gibbons the last
few months
Jack Vossen says he never will go
autoing again on the Blue Trail.
Mrs. John Searles is quite sick.
Billy Severance of Minneapolis who
is spending the summer at the Gibson
ranch is at his uncles' Dan McCalls'
this week.
Ted Nelson is herding Tom Brock
/ ley's cattle Ole Jelum says he quit
the job, Brockley can't get them home
until that road Of Ibsen's is finished in
1880.
Everyone that has hail insurance is
/ getting hailed out They are in luck
for the crops are poor anyway.
I wonder why the bounty was taken
off Coyotes in this county. The coun-
! ty is overrun with them. Why do
most County Commissioners vote No
the first year and after that Yes.
We all have got our eyes on Lundeen.
Can anyone in this county tell what
good a county agent is, what has he
and his stenographer done to earn
something like $175 a month. VIII
| some farmer please write to our
paper and tell me as we'll as others.
He counted the gopher tails and rode
around in his car, looked at some hens
teeth and so on. 1t looks to me like
taht is another graft. If he has done
any good, where is it. Might as we'll
give that money to fumigate and put
the bounty back on Coyotes.
Better get your coal in it will soon
be winter. The snowballs will be hit
ting us on the coattail before we know
/ it.
