dentally get the republican central
committee in their net some IF
these times and that would be aw-
full.

BLACKWELL, because of the mid
night raid did not make his week
end trip to Medicine Lake. And
oy the way news comes to Mutt
that three or four James went on
the warpath when they read Haz-
elnut's letter to me in last weoI,s
squirrel food. They accused Sew
eral perfectly innocent parties Of
nelng Hazelnut. These girlies all

Medicine Lake postoffice, and talk
ed to her in a very emphatic and
enthusiastic manner. From tbe
number the shoe seems to fit we
take it that Grant is a fairly az
tive and busy man of great ner-
sonal charm. Now these ladies
would be surprised to know the
name OF the prominent Lake man
who tipped old Mutt off about tba
peasant trips of our "Don Imam y

Maybe those danes who did tba
rooster and pullet twist with the
great republican boss, sans featb- |
ers' sans everything, could throw
the calcium light on the whole |
mystery. Who knows?
Sheriff Hans is a wonderfully
economical officer. Sure. he r,,ts

don't travel much: Just commntes
between his farm at Archer and
nus bedroom at the county Jail and
the distance isn't far. He didn't
spend much money in MILEAGE

oesnt cost anything for mileage:
there were no crimes, nor other
rouble, there would be no use for
heriff: much of the expense of
he sheriff's office depends upon
he conditions. 1t does not cost
'ou anything to thresh if the hail
axes your crop. The number of
major crimes for which there has
'een no arrests are almost 1000.
