P. Ii' . Campbell of Georgetown ,
was a friendly. caller yesterday.
Mr. Campbell 11lforms us that a
meeting will be held at the
Downey school house Saturday
to discuss building' an electric
railway line from Georgetown to
conncct with the n. & M. rail-
road. IIc thinks the most feasible -
ible point will be at Mason City.
'l'he distance is about thc same
as to Broken Bow and as the
country IS mnch more thickly
settled between Georgetown and
Mason he figures the funds can
be more easily secured on that
route to finance the enterprise.
They have given up hopes of
securing an extensian of the U.
P. from Pleasonton.
Jules Haumont of Elton , in
speaking of the rain last Ii'riday
night in his vicinity says that at

cers was six feet higher than
ever kn0\V11 before since Mr.
Spencers residence there , which
began in 1879. He says the corn
in his vicimty was not all dr-
stroyed by the hail but that it
was all more or less damaged.
Another rain and hail visited
ha.t locality Monday night , the
h"lil stones being as large as hen
eggs , and very thick but , did
no precept able damage to crops.
'l'he next morning he and his
nephew found in the vicinity of
the lagoon eighteen sea gulls
that had been killed b. } ' the hail
and saw 1I1any more crippled.
