Misses Alice and Lizzie Crosby. of Hammond, are visiting friends in this vicinity. Miss Maude Swartz is home from Brook. Lewis Welsh and Andy Frasier were in Chicago last week. Albert Brand is tiling for Joe Adams. Dr. Brand, of Goodland, has established a branch office at Brook. Last Tuesday Joe Gailey saw two enormous timber wolves within forty rods of his house. A number of hunters gave chase, but were unsuccessful. Will Michaels has moved onto the Daniel Michaels farm. Albert Kean, the traveling store man of Foresman is around visiting his old friends and customers.

Wells Hubbard, a'former resident of this vicinity but now of Hammond, was here last week visiting old friends. Jas. Bullis sold his team of roadsters to Jas. Clinton, of Goodland, a few days ago. Enos Timmons is busily engaged in sawing wood. Jap Fleming was seen the other day moving a new stove into the house on the farm that he has rented. On being asked what he was doing, Jap said that he was building fence. Strange that a man should go into a house to build fence.

The scenes at the turkey trial, which came off in the hearing of Judge Frasier, was quite exciting. After the attorneys had exhausted the evidence, Prosecutor Besse stood up before his honor for an hour and thundered forth his store of legal lore. Judge Frasier sat upon the judges bench with a faraway look in his eyes, which is peculiar to all judges.
