John Rollins had the misfortune to lose one of his nice big hroses Sunday.

Sunday was another fishing day, such as it was. A party in three autoes went to Maplehurst, Taylor Co., consisting of John Rollins, Earl Drake, Walter Drake, A. Harding, Al Christenson and family, Fred Dankemyer and family. The fish were easily carried, although some had better luck than others. All those parties called on Nate Drake.

Mr. Russalo, formerly of Colby, moved into Mrs. Helen Field’s house last week.

Grandma Dankemyer has been visiting at Mrs. Hotchkiss’ several days last week.
