Mother Lake.
Mother Lake, April 25th, '98. Very little garden has been made here yet. The grass is very slow and backward this spring. C.D. Wither's hasn't any more hair than a snowbird. Daniel Baugh is through assessing in this precinct. Most everybody has quit feeding hay in this country. The wind has been blowing hard here for several days. W.E. Stansbie says that Stilsons is a nice place to stay. Did you hear about C.D. Withers having his hair cut off "sum." I suppose you all know that Tom Stansbie's best girl has got back? People in this country wonder if it is true that Ed Ashley is married. Al Stansbie is recovering very slowly from his injury received last summer. Everybody seems to be satisfied with the groceries they got of the Chicago men. Robert Hardin is out in the dry country, this week, locating a summer camp. The Spade outfit is building a fence from Walters Lake south to the B. & M. R.R. Al Stansbie is prepared to give lessons on the mandolin. Please give him a call. Do you ride an A.H. Hardy saddle? If not, why hot? He makes an up-to-date saddle. If winter had lasted much longer, most of the people would have been half out of hay. Fisher turns his horses loose at night and goes over to Walters Lake after them in the morning. Don't ask Elmer Lawson why he goes up to Stansbies so much, but ask how is wife is. $500 reward offered for the man that stole the lumber from the summer camps in dry country. If anybody should happen to ask you, just tell them that Fisher is at the L.G. summer camp this week. People are busy fixing up their summer camps in the dry country, and some have moved their cattle out. The dance at Stansbies, last week, was a swell affair. About sixty-five people present and a good time reported. Yance Simminson is a real cow-boy. He rides them straight up and fans them on the head with his coat tail when he gets off, C? The Diamond Bar boys will have their reservoir complete this week. It is the hot stuff for a summer camp. It will water 500 head of cattle about one week. L.L. Morrill, while driving from Hyannis to his ranch, with a load of Chicago fruit, got stuck in a mud hole and had to unload most of his goods. He was in there just 7 hours and 21 minutes. He waded around like a swan and was some wet. Ask him how the pants fit that he borrowed. May 5, 1898. Grant County Tribune 10(6): 4. |
