More Investments in Colorado.

G. W. Burk and his son-in-law, D. B. Nowels, arrived home from their trip to Lamar, Colorado, Saturday evening. They left Wallace Robinson and J. W. Paxton still at Lamar. These four, above named, purchased an 800 acre farm ranch, and which carries with it the control of a big stock range of 10,000 to 15,000 acres, The ranch is now being stocked. The purchase and transfer of the lumber yard, previously contracted for, was consummated. Also a general grain, feed and transfer business was bought, but which will not be taken possession of until next month. Mr. Robinson expects to return within the next ten days, to remove his family out. Mr. Paxton not until some time later, as at present he is unable to secure a suitable residence at Lamar. Mr. Nowels will not move out until about the middle of June, intending to remain until his son, Auburn, graduates at Culver Military academy. Mr. Burk will probably not move out there before September.
