Word was received here this week
from Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Praxel and
daughter, Dorothy, of Ismaj Mont.
They have been on a ranch there for
the past five years and have a~large
range for cattle. The law there
states that if you want to raise
crop you have to fence it against
cattle as they have free range. Mr..
Praxel is a regular cowboy but does
not wear gun, boots, and spurs. He
likes the west and the prospects are
good for bumper crop there this
year on account of plenty of fall rains
and lots of snow this winter. They
are in the best of health and wish
to be remembered to all their friends.
