I HAVE A FEW WORDS TO SAY TO YOU RELATIVE TO
Disc Harrows !
The Disc Harrow is going to be more in use than ever. It
is the most useful tool on the farm. 1 have
THE ROCK ISLHND
the world's standard. It has no neck weight on the team; it
is always a true center draft. The Standard is provided
with a tub that extends to above the FRAME; this keeps all
ditt out. The scrapers are spring steel, not cast iron.
Come in and let me show you the many good points. I
also have others.

Laat Friday morning at G o'clock
Edward Gilford, ono of tho oldest and
best known citizens of this county,
died at his homo in Cowles, aged G7
years.
Mr. Gilford's death was caused by
complication of rheumatism, pneu
monia and iufhmation of the bowels.
Tho funeral was held Saturday after
noon, Rev. B. F Hutchinuof tho Cow
les M E. church conducting the ser
vices, and the body wa laid to rest in
the Cowles cemt-tary.
Mr. Gilford was born in Wiscon
sin, and came to this county about
twenty-eight years ago, locating at
Cowles. Mr. Gilford wa tho pro
moter of moio business ventures than
any other man who evor lived in Cow
les. Ho was tho founder of a gonoral
ttoro at that place, and af toward open
d the first and only storo over oper
ated in Amboy. Uuturuing to Cowles
he opened another general storo ihotu,
and afterward Oitablishod, at different
times, two luinbor yatds at that place.
In the lattor '80s, when tho roller skat
ing crazo was at its height, he built and
operato I at Cowles the largest roller
skating rink west of tht Missouri river
which was patronizjtl by people fiom
Hustings, Red Cloud and other nearby
towns.
Mr. Gilford was always a prominent
factor in politics and -vhon tho wave
of Pooulism struck tho stato ho whs
among the tirst to cast his fortunes
with that party and immediately bo
jamo a loador, which position ho main
tained to tho day of his death. Mary
candidates of recont yoars have causo
to remember Ed Gilford's inlluouco
with tho voters iu this county.
Mr. Gilford had no children, and,
besidoi his wife, thoroaro left to mourn
bis loss two brothors and two sisters,
all of whom reside in Wisconsin.
From An Old Timer.
LAsVhdAB.N. M., March 1.
Editor Cuikf:
As 1 lay in bed last ovoning, mommy
onllod mo back to times long past,
whon Hod Cloud was joung and tho
AOttlemonts along the liver west of
there weio much younger. At that
time I could name every settler, for I
know thoin all and tlioy knew me, and
now, while I remember their tieo, I
am wondering how many of them i-till
live, as 1 do yet, somewhat halo and
hearty. I knew the first editor of Tiik
Chikk, but 1 presume tho person edit
iug tho paper now is not tho ono who
ran tho mill at that time tho only ono
who oven offered mo any compensa
tion for my labors, for at that timo I
was vory much (struck on newspaper
correspondence Your neifiliboiing
town on tho west Riverton ought to
know mo well, and I could at this date
say murti from moinory about those
arlydaY8. I have seen buffalo, elk,
deer, antelopo and largo number of
wild turkeys running freo along tho
river bottom. I would liico to look over
the ground again, ami if successful in
tho business I am no.v twgagid in I
will do so.
In those days wo used t dahb o in
politics, as I siippoxo yui do jet. I
las delegate to tho convention at Lin
coln which nominated Cuptain Gamer
im- irnmrnor. Is Governor Garbur
still living? I hope so.
What papeia
have they in Riverton and in Bloom
ington Kiverton had tho Englo and
Bloomington had tho Gnard.
I will write you something about this
part of New Mexico in another lottor.
Yours truly,
M.O'Sollivan.

Frank larker Caralift Trouble.
Frank Barker's confinement is begin
ning to wear upon him, and he is giv
ing Sheriff McArthur no end of trouble.
He realizes that his ca&e is desporate,
and seems to believo that nothing he
dees could make his position worse.
Sunday morning Ward Hayes was
colled to tho jsil to shave Barker, and,
as tho light in tho coll was rather dim,
ho w.is taken into tho corridor, where
tho light is hotter. When ho had been
shaved bo remarked that ho would
"not go buck1 in that coll again.''
With tho assistance of Hayes and other
bystanders tho sheriff succeeded in get
ting Barkor back into tho coll. When
linally landed in his cage ho smashed
up tho furnituio, broke tho lamp, poni
ed tho oil on tho floor ami sit tiro to it.
Monday ho .ore his blanket into
strips and nvulo a rope,,whicli ho fast
otied to the top of tho cagn and was
piopaiingto shake the dust of tho
oirth fi om his feot when bo was dis
covered by a fellow prisoner, who call
ed the sheriff to investigate matters.
From now until his chbo is called in
court ho will bo kept in bis steel cago
and closely watched by tho jailers to
prevent his taking his own lifo or set
ting fire to the Jul.
He shows no romorso for his crime,
and does not sosm to caro what be
comes of himself.
"The Woman, the Nan and Pike's Peak."
The above is tho title of a very pretty
little story in tho February number of
Outdoors," and which is from tho pen
of Hon. J. S. Gilliam of this city Con
trary to tho usual run of short stoiies,
tho heroine of the sketch is a woman
past middle ago, who sets out to climb
l'iko's 1'enk alone, for a wager. On tho
way up the mountain, she is overtaken
ny a middle-aged gentlem m and his
son, who lonil tier valuable assistance
during the arduous otirnoy. Some
thing indeliuabln in the voice and fea
tin cs of the younger man teoall to the
wounn sweet memories of her school-
dajs. Tho eldor of tho two gentle
men turns out to be "Jack," her first
love. They havo an innocont kiss and
embrace for old times' sake, ami the
story ends with n hint that her daugh
ter and tho son of "Jack" may somo
day bteouio united. Tho trip up tho
m iiiiiMiin is described iu glowing
lerins and, altogether, the sketch is a
credit to tho author.
