YIRGIE.

“Happy" Leech has been pressing hay. A sight gang is working on the dredge this week. “Diamond Dick” is husking corn for Bruce Moffitt. Mrs. Al Helsel has been very seriously sick, but is better at this writing. Carl Hammacher and Billy Nelson shipped a car load of hay this week. Evert Leech and Frank McCurtain visited our school Monday afternoon. Charley Fish, who has been working on the Springer ranch, has returned home. There will be a Xmas tree and entertainment on Xm«s eve at the school house. Everybody cordially invited.

Bert Hannaway’s house burned down last Saturday night. It was thought to have been caused trom a defective flue. There will be no social here on the 19, as advertised in these items last week, on account of the social at Rosebud on that date. Frank McColly, “Tip” Wiseman, Sax Geesey, Mr. Lee and “Happy" Leach went wolf hunting Tuesday night, with their coon dogs. The dogs got on the trail of a wolf, but the wolfclimbed a tree and the dogs failed to connect.
