Joe Jackson Embarks In Business At Longmont

Longmont, Colo., Call. A new business enterprise for this city is being developed very rapidly and will be ready for business In a few days. It is a feed and hitch yard where the farmers and others can put their teams when they come to town. It is being promoted by Joe Jackson, of Rensselaer, Indiana. The yards will be situated at the Newton Lumber Company’s old stand at the corner of Fifth avenue and Main street, one of the most convenient and bandy corners in the city. A meager sum of ten cents will be charged the farmers or anyone desiring to tie their teams in the shed for the use of the yards for any length of time from one hour to a day. In connection with the hitch yard, the proprietor intends to handle grain and feed which he will deliver to any part of the city. William Shriner, of South Bend, values his wife's affections at |5,000. He has sued Frank Kresher in the St Joseph circuit court for that amount, charging alienation.
