Mrs. : Davenport has gone to New York to Visit her daughter and family. J. W. Groves of Wood Lake called on us yesterday while in town on business. Albert Fairchild wasv in town , last' week and tells us that he had a very satisfactory sale at his place. Col. Tracewell informs us that I Kels Rowley' sale at Wood Lake and the Uck and Lausen sale was * a success. Wm. Smith is home from Buck- . mum , Wyo. . where he had been two months but returned on ac count of illness. The water tank has been short I of water several days the past week of evenings and should a fire occur at such a ' time it would be hard to control. . Don't forget the young people's ice cream supper and boat ride given by the Epworth League at the mill pond Friday evening. Come out and have a good time. . Col. Gr. , E. Tracewell thinks that people have got down toa steady pace now and buy and sell f readil 3 r. * He has had six sales the paslTmonth and each one was a success. There ought to be a de - mand for everything so that those " overburdened could sell their sur- I plus at any time at a fair market value. Joseph P. Kreycik filed for county commissioner last week on the Democratic ticket. Mr. : Krey- cik is well known , among the peo- ple of Wood Lake precinct and has a wide acquaintance with peo- . ple generally throughout the first Commissioner Dist.

Valentine and east Cherry coun- ty people are feeling highly elated over the prospect of Hon. C. H. Cornell's electric railroad ' new , which runs from here to Fairfax , I' S. D. , via Burton and Springview , following very closely the county line for several miles , north and east of Valentine. It is proposed to have stations e"erjfew miles wherever there is a good central loading point and all kinds of pro- duce can be hauled in to market and transferred , to the main line 4 at Valentine or Fairfax North Table lands will be in big demand near this line of road and the value of a farm near the' railroad that will produce 100 bushels of pota- toes to the acre , and a sure crop every year , and a change to wheat of 20 bushels , or oats 40 to 70 , or corn 25 to 40 , will be a hundred dollars an acre and more. This may sound like an idle dream'in the far west but the development will immediately follow the line of road established. This road fol lows a rich farming section of the country that will be put to earn- ing money as soon as a market is available. Some of the railroad men were at Meltendorff's : saloon Monday afternoon and John Dilland with some friends were engaged in playing a game of pool when he discovered that he had lost a big leather waller that he carried in his hip pocket containing $85 in greenbacks. One of .Dilland's friends had noticed one Carl Ol son step up behind Dilland and then. walk out the back door and- < told Dilland so. Olson returned about this time and he was accused by Dilland and his friends of steal- ing the wallet and money. : A fight ensued in which one man got a . : blow over the right eye , and in the excitement Olson got away but was hunted up by Sheriff Bosseter and he also took in Frank Han- son , a pal of Olson , who after a series of questions from Sheriff Rosseter admitted picking up a roll of bills amounting to $85 , the missing money. 'The ' wallet ! was found sticking behind a beer keg in Meltendorff's : back yard. Han : son says while the scrap was go- ing on that Olson threw down the roll of bills and he picked it up and went to the bank and deposit- ed , it in his name and which' he gave up by signing a check to John Dilland Tuesday while in jail. The case came up for trial Tuesday but was delayed until Friday. \ I LOW RATES EAST. Via The North-Western Line.
