Carnival Dates Set

The dates for the Browning
School carnival for this year have
been set by the committee for
FRIDAY and Saturday, November
6 and 7.
rms year will find a somewhat
different carnival; there will be
no shows - just the usual carni.
val fare of games, gimmicks and
grub. The committee decided that
since our school has been newly
decorated and equipped it would
be most unWise to have the new,
ness damaged by moving furni.
ture and moving crowds. I'm.
doubleday the amount of money
made will be smaller, but surely
the work entailed will be greatly
less.
This year it is planned to have
the elementary school benefit
from the carnival receipts. The
committee feels confident the car.
nival will be social and finan.
clal success. Each one will make
his contribution in the direction

VALUABLE STEER KILLED BY
VANDAlS AT
SLAUGHTER HOUSE

When Bob Schubert went out to
the Bob N Gene slaughter house
early Monday morning he found
fine $50 pound steer dead in
one of the corrals, having been
shot twice in the neck by some
one with % calibre rifle some
time between Saturday afternoon
and Monday morning
Two bullet holes in the head
Just back of the ears, indicated
that whoever committed this de-
probation did it deliberately and
maliciously. The steer was a long
yearling, grass fattened and in
prime condition for butchcring.
The monetary loss is no small
item, as the carcass by Monday
was entirely worthless. The van
dals left no traces of their des-
picable action and it will be next
to impossible to place the blame.

The high spot vf the entire trip

wildly applauded the entire per-

farmers showed particular enthu-
siasm for the solo and group
dances of the young purebloods,
Whitegrass, Old Person, Little
