-W. B. Haloell Makes
Purchase.
F. H. Obertheir of thio city and
who owns a Urge ranch in Castro,
an adjoining county, sold yesterday
to W. £. Haloell of Kansas City,
1000 bushels seed wheat. This
wheat will be sent into the Spring
Lake Community in the Hajsell
ranch for the use of the farmers to
whom Mr. Halsell is furnishing for
seeding purposes. The whest is the
Turkey Red variety, weight 6 2
pounds to the bushel and grades
No. 2, bard. The price is about
fj.05 per bushel. This wheat was
raised according to scientific meth-
ods as far as possible to follow. One
field of 65 acres averaged 15 bushels
per acre. Mr. Obertheir is quite
optimistic about the future and like
all good Hereford citizens is hunting
the ••silver lining" in the cloud.
He found a piece ripped off in this
deal and sells 1000 bushels fine
wheat. And he's got some more.
Baby Drank Gasoline.
On last Friday at the home of
John Decker who lives in Castro
County, and a neighbor of J. O.
Lindsey's, a young man who is em-
ployed on the farm of Mr. Decker
was cleaning some clothing with gas-
oline had been poured into a pan,
and when the young man's attei t on
for a moment was given to something
else, a little year and one-half old
child of the Decker home raised the
pan and drank its contents. The
effects were socn apparent, and the
frightened parents started to Here-
ford at once with the child and were
being conveyed as fast as horses
hitched to a buggy could bring them.
In the meantime, a message had
been phoned Dr. Rogers from the
Lmdsey home, and in a very short
time the physician was in his fast
going machine directed toward the
Decker home. When the Doctor
met the parents with the afflicted
child about a mile from their home,
he took the mother and child into
his auto and hurried them back.
Upon arrival plenty of hot water was
found and this was at once brought
into requisition together with an ef-
fective emetic. By the most stren*
uous efforts, the child's life was
saved and is now on the way to com-
plete recovery, it is believed. When
Dr. Rogers reached the child, life
seemed almost extinct.
Lightning Burns Barn.
Wednesday night about 6 o'clock
during the rain lightning struck the
barn belonging to Mr. Watkins who
lives about 2 miles west of town.
The bolt set fire to the bay and the
entire structure was soon enveloped
in flames. The family were seated
at the supper table in the huose near
by and all the members were more
or less shocked. It was a strange
sight to view the big blaze and
heavy smoke from the barn while
a down pour of rain was falling,
with the scene touched up occas-
ionally by vivid lightling.
No stock was lost but the barn
and its contents were totally des-
troyed.
Gertrude and Allene Robinson
went to Amarillo on Thursday.
Annual Picnic and Fair
Day.
At a meeting of the Club directors
Monday evening in accordance with
a resolution passed by the member-
ship at the regular monthly session,
Saturday, October 8, was fixed as
the day for the annual celebration.
It was agreed to have a picnic and
fair of one day only. A committee
of J. H. Cardwell, J. E. Garrison
and D. R. Gass, with plenary pow-
ers was appointed. This committee
will be expected to evolve, involve,
and resolve the character of the
day's celebration. They will have
powei to appoint all sub-committees
and arrange the general program.
Another thing attended to was the
appointment of a committee of three,
J. H. Bowers, R N. Mounts and
D. C. Laird, who should visit the
Commissioners' Court and urge that
a suitable watering place be erected
for the farmers and others. The
Club feels that this is an important
work to be accomplished, as often
farmers come to town and do not
