This will give the ‘‘RKo- meo of the Jungles’’ time to rest up for his grand effort on the 4th. ig Sa While performing on a horizontal bar, back of the Lindell hotel, Tues- day, Letie Sackett fell and dis- located his left wrist, also breaking oneof the bones. It is a painful injury. Mr. Perry Seevers brought into our office on Tuesday a bunch ot wheat which was six teet, lacking - one-inch, inlength. He also hada _ bunch of heads, the largest of which was five and one half inches in length. Who can beat it? piheicaantrs ea General improvement is the order of the day in Butler now. ‘Turn in whatever direction you may, you _ will see some building in course of construction, some house being re- phinted-or some new fence or out- building being built. A ee Sheak thieves were evidently out again Tuesday night. Wm. McBnde “says that at about 12 o’clock last night he was awakened by some _one trying to get in the door, and then the window. They were " frightened off however, without his finding out who they were. Keep. well loaded shot guns on hand _ and use them in events of this kind. Miss Ida Crume showed us, Thurs- day ‘afternoon, a large size birds- eye view photograph of Pitkin, Col- orado, where Mr. W. J. Smith is located. Miss Ida did not know the exact population of the city but it extends into the thousands. The citv is built in a beautiful vallev in ___ sight ot mountains capped avith snow, and is in @ thost delightful climate. The new railroad .is in hearing distance,'and by this time perhaps the first trains may be run- ning into the city. Miss Ida in- forms us that Mr. Smith will not re- turn to Butler until fall. : | up his chances betore the pr-maries. | When the point was reached as to ' understand that he was talking to a | 1 clear away the matter A Democratic candidate rode up | toa farm house hz other day and finding the gentleman of thg planta- tion at home, at once began talking who the sturdy yeoman would sup- port, the politician was given to rampant Greenbacker. Set back a | tew notches by this informateon, the coming modesty, replied: ‘‘ I didn’t suppose Joe Shelby would have any | man on his premises but a died-in- | the-wool Democrat.’’ | The banquit given at the Academy i last evening, was largely attended, the supper superb, and a good time generally was had.—Democrat. ‘The supper superb,”” eh? Oh, where were we, that we missed that superb supper? “Look here, Col., there are entirely too many candi- dates in the field for you. While they are passing around tliese superb suppers the Times local would not object to being handy, but we don’t want anything quite so ardent as to make us tell the people that the sup- per was a banquet at the Academy, just becuuse the academy folks hap- pened to hold a social reunion A Ties reporter visited ‘the I grounds which have been choser for the fourth of July celebration. The grove is certainly the best one that could have Leen selected. It contains | about ten acres, but beside this there { is other ground on the south of i- that \ will be s,.cudid for the purpose of | spreading luncheon. The finest | pool in the creek runs.along the east of the grove. This pool is of uni- form width and about one-fourth of amile in length. ‘Two fine boats are now being built, and will be! plied upon the waters during the day- The shade is fine, and a large arbor | will be put up in an open space and | seats placed under it.

Eprror Tres: I see in your issue of Tuesday, mention of a let- ter received by you from John James, which intimates something very uncomplimentary to me. I de- sire to say that I am quite willing the Tus should publish anything James may say of. me, forI am ready to prove all I have accused him of, and am not atraid of the ef- fect of his personal abuse. | If he aims to put up the plea of not guilty to the crime laid at his .door, why does he keep himself so} far out of the reach of the officers, | but instead come up to the bar and | at once.
