Five Persons Drowned
In Brandon Lake
Last Sunday morning a party
pleasure seekers from Bristol,
Colo., motored to the Brandon
lakes where they intended spend
ing the day on a fishing trip.
As we understand the situation
the party had with them a home
made boat which they intended
using on the lake for fishing and
pleasure purposes which they
brought with them. On arriving
at the lakes the party and their
baggage were unloaded and they
proceeded to make plans for the
day. There were a couple of
families and several children in
the party and were taking turns
in enjoying a ride in the boat.
One load had successfully made
a safe journey about the lake
when they returned and deliver
ed the bout to the unfortunate
people who were drowned.
Duncan Coe, AI Tuxhorn, Har
old and Howard Shy, of this city
had went to the lakes the night
before and spent the night there
and wi re just packing up their
camp outfit when they heard the
cries of the party on the lake for
help. Looking out onto the lake
the boy 8 were horror stricken to
see two women, a small ehild and
two men struggling in the water
for their lives. The boys as fast
as possible got their boat out into
the waters and tried to reach the
unfortunate victims of the lake
but were unable to reach them in
time to save any of the lives.
The bodies of the two women the
little three year old girl and one
man was brought to shore by the
boys, they then returned to try
and find the other body but Were
unsuccessful In their attempt.

Tom O’Brien, of Hoven, S. D.,
and Geo. O’Brien, of Seneca, S.
D., arrived in .Cheyenne Wells
on Monday evening and spent a
couple of days here on a visit to
to their mother and sister and
many friends. The boys are
now both full fledged bankers,
Tom is president of the Hoven
State Bank in his city, while
George is Vice President of the
Seneca State Bank. They were
greatly surprised in the appear
ance of the old home town and
were highly pleased with our
prosperous conditions. In order
to keep an eye on conditions here,
Tom added his name to our list
which will give him all the hap
pings of the city.
In this issue of the Record will
be found a change in advertise
ment of the Nispel Land Com
pany which we call your atten
tion to. These people have just
lately taken over the agency in
this territory for the Cheverlot
cars and parts and are going to
make a success of this business
as they have others. During the
week they have sold to Miss
Ethel Shy one of their Utility
Coupes which Miss Ethel is now
enjoying, also a five passenger
touring to J. S. Baber and sons.

! T. A. Baublite, of Beeler, Ness
, county, Kans., was in Cheyenne
Wells the latter part of last week
, looking the town and county over
with the idea of locating: in our
midst To the people on the out
, side we are pleased to state that

I countries in the state of Colorado,
I we also have some of the finest
, water that can be found any
. where, another good advantage
, we enjoy is school facilities; we

, schools in the state, one that
i you can be proud to send your
children to; we also have stood

Kirk Has A Visitor
Last Friday evening as Chas.
Kirk was coming into Cheyenne
Wells from his home at Kit Car
son his Ford decided that it had
ran far enough and wanted to
rest so absolutely stopped right
in the middle of the road two
miles east of First View.
Charley being a good natured
fellow, got out tightened up a
few wires, screws, burs and
what-not and tried to coax the
thing for a few more miles but
without success, be finally aband
oned Liz. Returning the next
morning to try his luck once
more Charley was dumb founded
to find that some thief had ap
propriated to his own use the
four casings, plugs, light bulbs,
carburetor and in fact everything
that could be taken from a Ford.
Making out a new list of supplies
needed be returned to town pur
chased same and left for the
scene. “For the love of Mike”
says Charley during bis absence
this time the culprits had remov
ed one of the wheels. Charley
this time picked up the “carcus”
and carried it to town for over
hauling.
The new steel bridge across
the smokey creek about three
north of Salis, will be completed
this week. In the completion of
this bridge it will shorten the
distance considerable for those
who are hauling wheat to the
local elevators and also give to
the people of that neighborhood
a very good crossing on this creek
We are also informed that the
material for another new bridge
across this same creek north of
First View is on the ground and
that the county boys will move
their tools there this week to
begin its erection.
There is no use talking that
Stratton ball club has certainly
got the jinx on Cheyenne Wells
for some cause or other. In the
game which was played at Strat
ton last Sunday the local team
had no grounds to loose it as the
score was all in our favor in the
early part of the game. It just
seemed that we could not play
ball and the number of errors
made on both sides would fill the
Denver Pest sport page. After
the errors were chalked up the
score was then tallied and we
had the short end which read
seven and eight.
N. 6. Robertson, the orchard
man, informs us that his big adv
in this paper last week has cer
tainly done the business for him
and that he has been getting all
kinds of results from it. Well,
we are not surprised at that one
bit, we knew it would get results
for him as well as our other good
advertisers.
