Our Honor Roll.

CMligher Barker and Jim Harrison got home from Wyoming, Monday. They had been on a wolf hunt and brougnt home with them a young gray wolf. While on their trip their hounds captured 83 wolves, the bounty of which made them a nice little sum, even though the county was only able to pay 60 cents on the dollar. They left the hounds in Wyoming and will shortly return for another hunting trip.

Rensselaer has a foot racer 72 vears old who bids fair to out rival Mel Makeever with a little training. The champion foot racer of Rensselaer for some time has been Ross Grant, but Monday he challenged Sylvester O'Mera to a race of 60 yards, giving the old man 20 yards the start, for a purse of two dollars. O'Mera promptly .accepted the challenge, and notwithstanding the thermometer stood near the 100 mark, offered to run right then. The race took place in the alley on the north side of Washington street and O’Mera came out a length ahead and was then ready to challenge any man of his age in the county. He is thinking of going into training with the object of issuing a challenge, open to the world. Here is a chance for some county fair to secure an attraction. (). p. Ream, the aged father of Win. Beam, the day agent at this place, left his home at Reynolds on Tuesday of laM week for Lafayette, where he had some business to transact in connection with a mill. He called at the mill which hi' went to visit and after some conversation he stepped out. .saying he would return shortly. He has not. been seen since. His family became alarmed and had the po lice of that city institute a search for the missing man. but it was unavailing. His son. after a search of several days in a number of cities returned to Rensselaer Wednesday evening completely worn out by his search and worry. Doctors had to be called in and for*a time it was thought he could not recover, but at this writing he is rallying an 1 will soon be up again. No word has yet -been received from the missing man. Foul play is suspected, as he hadMOC on ids person when he left Reynolds.
