J. C. Borntrager Has Bought Former Harion Adams Farm.

J. C. Bomtrager has moved to the former Marion I. Adame faun, which he has purchased of J. H. Newman, of Cisna Park, 111, and on which Ernest Maxwell lived prior to his departure for Dunkirk, Ind, where he has purchased a farm. Mr. Bomtrager has been the foreman on J. J. Lawler's big ranch near Pleasant Grove for the past three years, Fred Fefthaus will be the tenant of the Lawler ranch at the headquarters house, while Walter Felthaus will live in the house at the Ridge and Young Jim Walters, son of Tom, will occupy the new house on the ranch a mile north of the Ridge The Lawler ranch contains 1,700 acres and has been divided into smaller farms, two new houses having been erected. Mr. Bomtrager plaid 3110 per acre for the New farm, which is only 50 cents per acre more, we believe, than Mr. Newman paid for it when he bought it at auction a year ago.
