THREE FIRE ALARMS.
The fire department were called to
the Beha hotel Saturday because of
the burning out of a chimney.
Saturday evening about 8:46 the de
; partment were again called to fight a
fire in the barn at the Chet Calkins
residence. The barn was totally de
stroyed. The horses were taken out
before the lire gained much headway.
A run was made to the Fred Mc
Nally home Wednesday where a gun
ny sack was smouldering making con
siderable smoke.
CELIA ITEMS.
A few of the kindhearted neighbors
came in and helped Mrs. J. V. Johnson
dress her marketable turkeys Tues
day. 36 were dressed and made ready
for the Holiday market.
A coyote had the misforti ne the
other day to get into a trap set by the
Frickle boys. Coyote fur is high,
(When it stands straight up). The Mc
Kathnie boys raised two young coyotes
this summer and were offered $11.60
apiece for the pelts.
A new sport has started in this up- j
to-date neighborhood, that of hunting
jack rabbits in the night and shooting
them by the aid of car light. D. F.
Scott were out one evening and killed
twelve in a short time and the Frickle
boys killed eleven the same night.
The relentless winter is getting a
firmer grip on this poor defenseless
country as the days shorten, and to
day, Tuesday, the powers of the air
certainly showed their ability to cool

back on him sale day. A large as well

crumb left big enogh to satisfy a small
mouse.
A crowd almost as large as that on
sale day, gathered at the Johnson

surprise party on the Jameses. It
was an ideal evening and all those
present had a good time. The men
were treated to cigars, and the ladies
i who did not accept cigars were treated
I to candy. Miss Alpht got several

prepared lunch was served after which
the party was broken up at an early
hour. Mr. and Mrs. W. 0. James will
be greatly missed by their neighbors
and friends.
