Banker Clarke was a business visitor in the county scat last Saturday. John Siegerhammer is down from Lombard today and put in a good, healthy order for lumber to Manager O'Hearn of the local lumber yards. Since his wife is back to Montana, John finds it necessary that a more commodious home be provided, and he has plans outlined for a cozy cottage on the home place. Chas. Tarrant, foreman of the t•beep interests of the Big Springs ranch, unloaded Friday of last wee 's a recent purchase at the Crcov Agency of 3013 head of splendid 2 -year -old ewes.

Frank Shull and associates have a claim on Six Mile gulch, about two sn I one-half miles from town, which shows strong in lignite. Three well defined 4tratas have been uncovered. Development work is going forward with an idea of ascertaining the probable scope of the underlying veins. Meantime Mr. Shull is daily ex- pecting the arrival of an eastern coal expert to make an examina- tion of the pr6perty.
