Wheat ia coming along fine in the
Sand Hollow and north of Lexington
sections. A drive down north Fri
day with Druggist Humphreys, to see
how his new well is progressing, re
vealed some of the finest fields of
grain that wa ever saw in that part
of the county and there would seem
to be no preventing an abundant yield
and early harvest. Some spring seed
ing has been done, but not much, and
this may need rain soon to make it
come along properyl, but the fall
sowing is jointing and is so well de
veloped that nothing can prevent a
crop. A drive over the Sand Hollow
section Sunday afternoon revealed
similar conditions. In many places
squirrels are coming out thick and
the poison will have to be spread.
Grain on the light lands is certainly
making a tine showing this spring.
Mr. Humphreys is having A. M. Ed
wards put down a new well for him
and hopes to get an abundant supply
of good water, so situated -that it can
be run over an extensive flat on his
ranch that can later be set to alfalfa
and made a good hay producer. Tom
is in the Morrow county oil belt, and
should he get a flow of oil instead of
water, there will be nothing doing
in the hay production.
The beginning of what might have
proven a very disastrous fire was dis
covered in the lower warehouse near
the depot about 6 o'clock Monday
evening by G. A. Bleakman of Hard
man, who was at the warehouse get
ting some freight. The fire was in
a pile of old sacks at the extreme
lower side of the building and when
discovered was making its wsy up
the wall pretty rapidly, immediate
action on the part of Mr. Bleakman
and others extinguished the flames
and the extent of the damage was
the burning of the pile of sacks which
were scattered on the outside of the
building. The fire must have teen
started by sparks from the engine
on the work train which had pulled
into the siding just a few minutes
before. There was a very high wind
blowing at the time in the direction
of town and" just what the results
would have been had the fire got be
yond control can only be conjectured.
Old paper, rubbish and other inflam
mable material should be kept clean
ed up around these premises that the
fire risk may be lessened.
Herb Instohe of this city is carry
ing his right arm in a sling, the re
sult of a kick he received from a

cranking the critter. Two bones in
the forearm were smashed and his

juries will lay Mr. Instone off from
work for some time, and just when
