RALPH PAUKSTER TRIES TO
CROSS SWOLLEN STREAM AND
TEAM IS DROWNED.
THE BIKE WAS BALKY
Weighty Postmaster of Grass Range
Comes to Grief When Wheel
Strikes a Stone—Shearing Will
Start at Big Cruse Ranch About
Twenty-eighth of May.
Grass Range, May 18.—Several days
ago Ralph Paukster, driving a team
and wagon for the Cruse ranch, at
tempted to cross a small stream. As
a result, the team was drowned and
Paukster very narrowly escaped
drowning himself, he having been
rescued by some help near by. This
occurred on Calf creek. Paukster has
been employed by the Cruse ranch for
a number of years.
The weighty postmaster of Grass
Range is carrying around a varied as
sortment of bruises and scratches this
week and has about exhausted the
large stock of liniments and ointments
at the local store as a result of a little
mishap which occurred the latter part
of the week. The P. M. was hurrying
from his place of business in town to
his country home, making the trip on
his usually reliable bicycle. Ife was
anxious to arrive quickly, in order to
get in and hour or two at spud plant
ing, that being a favorite form of exer
cise such as the portly representative
of Uncle Sam finds it necessary to in
dulge in to keep his avoirdupois at a
reasonable figure. On the road out
the P. M. permitted his eye to wander
from the beaten path, and, in another
instant, he was describing a graceful
parabola in the general direction of a
bunch of friendly sagebrush. He
picked hmself up rather painfully and
yet more painfully toted his partially
demolished wneel back to the black
smith shop for numerous repairs. He
was the recipient of numerous expres
sions of sympathy from all except
Photographer Anderson, who is still
bemoaning the fact that he was not at
hand witli a camera, as a snapshot of
the rotund P. M. would make a picture
postal with unlimited commercial pos
sibilities.
Mrs. Ole Vinger, who recently took
a trip to Minnesota to visit with rela
tives, recently was seized with an at
tack which necessitated an opera
tion, which was performed at Prince
ton. Word has been received that
the operation was very successful.
David Foreman recently made a
trip into the Edgewater country and
says that the country is practically
all settled up and that the crops look
excellent. Foreman is one of the
proprietors of a threshing outfit that
has done all of the threshing each
season for years.

day.
The photo-plays are good and finish
a good show.
The Enraptured Reporter.
The evening was most propitious
The air was balmy. The fragrance of
flowers was patent in the breeze. The
limpid moonlight, In a glow of beauty,
kissed the hills and valleys. While
from the vines and bushes, the merry
twitter of playful birds, symphonies
soft and low, entranced with other de
light, the romantic party goers. Now
a still other delight was in store—
some fine music and good singing,
which every recipient enjoyed to the
highest note. Thanks and compli
ments for such a model evening were
ornate and lavish, and all left glad
that they had been.—Lewisville (Ark.)
Recorder.
BASE BALL SEASON IS
AT
LITTLE PRACTICE CONTEST HELD
TO TRY OUT BUNCH OF PROS
PECTIVE TALENT.
Kendall, May 20.—The baseball sea
son opened at Hilger yesterday with
a slugging match of seven innings.
Two pick-up teams battled for su
premacy on the diamond, the locals
and the surveyors. The game was a
lively one and each and every player
had the opportunity of showing his
ability as a sprinted. The score after
seven innings can not be learned, al
though each player, when questioned,
grins and admits that the score was'
"somewhere in the twenties," and that
the surveyors made the highest score.
Among the "locals" were'several for
mr Kendall stars, among whom were
Joe Coyne, George Anderson and Dick
McKinney. Be it said that Dick cov
ered himself with glory for the nu
merous flies he placed in the out
field. It is hoped that the participants
will recover sufficiently to play again
the near future.
A surprise party on J. J. McLeod
took place at the McLeod home at
the Kendall mine Friday evening, and
the surprise on Mr. McLeod was com
plete. Progressive whist was the di
version of the evening and was played
five tables. After the play It was
found that Mrs. M. J. O'Leary and Ed.
Molloy had made the highest score,
and were awarded the first prize,
while the consolation prizes fell to
Mrs. D. D. Grant and Roy F. Coolidge.

T HIS guarantee is backed by every
one of our Rambler dealers and
branches. One of them is located
nearby and is perhaps known to you.
Back of them is a. factory employing
eighteen hundred men, with a floor area of
twenty acres and producing ninety-six per
cent of the parts that go to make up this car.
This factory has produced twenty-two
thousand Rambler motor cars and the aver
age cost for repair parts on each one of
these cars last year was only twelve dollars
and ninety cents.
Some of these cars have been in use
eleven years. One-half of them have been
in use five years or more. These are the
facts which warrant our confidence in the
Rambler to the extent of giving the signed
guarantee for ten thousand miles.
The Cross Country sales to date are three
times those of last year.
See the car and you will learn the first
reason—its appearance.
Ride in the car and you will know the
second reason—its comfort.
Ask your banker about the stability of
this company—his answer is the third reason.
This ten thousand mile guarantee is the
fourth reason. Appearance, comfort, sta
bility and the 10,000 mile guarantee.
Are not these reasons enough ?
