timated at 5000 to the house and forced

AS the furniture was carried from
the house, Mrs ]. D. Whitsitt, 1888 Six
teenth street, a next door neighbor
generously offered the use of her house
and much of the furniture was carried
there The house, which is owned by
Mrs. r. NJ. Hill, will require new roof.
AT 1:1O the fire department was
called to the home of Bruce stephen
son, 9S4 Sixth street, by a small grass
fire at the rear of the house. There

RANCHERS PLAN
TO WORK ROAD.
AGAIN SUNDAY.

H. X. Deeds, prominent poultry
raiser of the Double Adobe district
was in Douglas Thursday on business
and reported that another effort to
complete the work on the connecting
link between the Kings highway and
the Central highway will be made next
Sunday in order that the new roadway
may all be completed before the mail
route for which it is being built is
approved.
The ranchers of the Kings highway
and the Double Adobe district are very
much in earnest about the proposition
to get Il mail delivery for their route,
as they not only are now put to great
Inconvenience by having to come to
Douglas postoffice for their mail, but
also must drive into the city with
every consignment of farm and poul-
try produce which they have to SELL
Much work has already been done
on the road and the farmers feel that
with proper cooperation the link can
be finished Sunday. Deeds asked the
Dispatch to say that no lunch would
be served at the next working party
and everyone from Douglas going to
aid in the work is asked to provide
lunch, while hot coffee will be provided
tthe scene of activities if possible.
