King of Cattle Ring.
"The King of the Cattle Rime,"
a tent show, was here Monday
night and gave a performance
near the depot. They have a
large tent and a fair orciiestrn.
The whole aggregation of players
and musicians seem to bo nhe
folks and conduct themselves in
a very genteel manner. The
play is the usual blood and thun-
der production that generally fol-
lows such a name, or title. There
is plenty of action and gal-steal-
ing and blood-letting, but no-
body ever gets killed. Some of
the actors did well, especially
the Irishman and negro character
while the half-breed character
did his part as good as most any
of his sort we ever saw. The
band is a dream. It's concert on
the streets was simply great.
There is not a dub in the list and
all play like they like it. It is
the best band that has been in
this town, perhaps, in all it's
life. W. L. Cairns, the press
agent of the show, was a caller
at the Leader office. He is the
baritone player of the band and
is a good one. His brother is the
leader. There are seven of these
brothers and they all live in and
around Decatur, 111. They met
many of their Illinois people here
and resumed old-times with them.
Only two of these brothers are
with this show. The other five
are with other shows, Cairns
tells us of a German musician
that we used to hear play years
ago. The German now lives in
Decatur, 111., and is getting rich
teaching music, a fact that is
strange, but true. His name is
Robert Walters, whose band we
used to tag after down in Texas
like some of the kids in Sentinel
ran after the "The King of the
Cattle Ring" band.
The farmers on the Washita
county side, near Mt. View, have
been having considerable trouble
over an old draw or pond in the
old townsite of Mountain View.
About two yeers ago a movement
was made to drain it into the
river, which proposition, at that
time suited all concerned. Work
was stopped when the dry weath-
er set in, and, until the recent
rains, nothing more was done
with it. Lately the hole has be-
come obnoxious, and work re-
sumed. An injunction was got-
ten out by some who objected,
giving as a reason that during
high water, if the river bank was
cut. the water would back up and
flood their farm. Deputy Sheriff
Hammic went down the first of
the week with papers from the
state board of health, ordering
that the work be resumed and
giving ten days in which to get
the swarpp drained.—Cordell

STAND UP AND TAKE NOTICE
On my "for sale" list I have many choice farms
in this highly favored district—some with first class
improvements, others not so good. Buyers can suit
themselves as to quality of soil, location, etc., and if
they buy of me they can, in every instance, depend
upon getting lowest figures. That's my way of do-
ing business. To look at any of these places will
cost you nothing.

A. J. Niles Back.
A. J. Niles is back from a trip
to Oklahoma City and Guthrie.
He attended the meeting of the
Spanish War veterans. He came
through from Guthrie in less than
a day and then got off his road
with his big Overland 40. He
had some pretty bad luck other-
wise, as when he got to the
South Canadian river, that stream
was up and he had to ford. The
reason of the ford was that the
river was not quite high enough
to run the ferry. Fording meant
the hiring of a team to pull the
machine across, as the water
came up into the bed of the car,
thus precluding the possibility of
bringing it across on its power.
But he crossed, all the same.
There being no one in the car
with Mr. Niles, he put a sack of
sand on the rear seat to ballast
the machine. And that reminds
us of a story.
Down at Dallas, Texas, one
night, a wholesale liquor house
burned. The building got the
start of the fire company and
burned away. One after another
of the whiskey barrels exploded,
sending the flames and fumes
high into the spark-lit heavens.
Several thousands of people were
watching the scene, very quietly,
when an old printer, a knight of
the stick and rule who had drawn
less sober breaths than sotted
ones, exclaimed: "My heavens,
what a delicious aroma, but such
a dreary waste!"
Now, that sand sack strikes
us about that way. What a de-
lightful ride for some automo-
bileless fellow went to waste
with that sand sack!

and lot offered at the astonish-
ing low price of $1,300. Why
not now? Tomorrow may be too
late. If this don't look good we
can show you other snaps.
Lots of them, and they all
class good and very good—
none bad in the Sentinel coun-
try. Price is governed very
largely by improvements and
proximity to Sentinel, yet you
can always find a few snaps
on my list—sacrifice sales.
