days. Mr.. Easley said. He has
always maintained his residence,
since he came to Dawson county
in 1903, there until Richland
county was organized in 1914 and
since then in Sidney. The first
veterinarian here, his services
were in wide demand in that
early period when cattle and
horses stocked the ra%ngelands. In
later years Mr.. Easley, continu-

if it comes in time the harvest
may be surprisingly good, he said.
