then and there to answer a petition
filed in said Court on the 29th day
of June A. D. 1914, in a suit, num-
bered on the docket of said Court
No. 1706, wherein M. K. Graham is
plaintiff, and the unknown heirs of
Stephen Denison and the above
named and their unknown heirs, if
any claim to be the heirs of the said
Stephen Denison, are defendants,
and said petition alleging that the
plaintiff was on the 25th day of

ple, title and rightfully in posses-
sion of the following described tract

patented to the heirs of Stephen
Denison on certificate issued to the
said heirs of Stephen Denison by
Patent No. 302 Vol. 21. Abstract No.
77, Pat. issued Oct. 4, 1875. The
said land is described by metes and
bounds as:
Beginning at the southwest cor-
ner of a survey of 320 acres in the
name of E. D. Rhotan, a stake on
the north bank of the Clear Fork of

plaintiff from said premises and
nave since withheld from him the

inclosed with a substantial fence,
paying all taxes, under deed duly
registered, cultivating, using and
enjoying the same for more than
ten years under the statutes of five -
and ten years limitation, under such
circumstances as to vest in plaintiff
full title to said land precluding all
others. The plaintiff has pleaded
both the five and ten years statutes
of limitation as part of the founda-
tion for his claim to all of said land.
Herein, Fail Not,, but have before
said Court, at its aforesaid next
regular term, this writ with your
return thereon, showing how you
have executed the same.

quarter was never heard of be-
fore. It may be that he is
using all his big fourteen-inch
guns, taking pot shots in an-
other quarter and that when
he gets through there intends
to move his heavy artillery to
the southern part of the coun-
ty, and as we are out only on
a kind of probation anyway, we
perhaps had better lay a little

heavy adjectives into us.
There is nothing in the way
of local news to report this
week for all are staying close
at home now, but we all expect

Well, the way we are going
we will soon have a sixteen
page paper. Surely our new
editor must be a progressive.
We enjoyed reading Mr. Ma-
bry’s descriptive letter from
far away Colorado and we wish
him much good health and hope
he will come with a letter ev-
ery week.
Just as we started to the
mailbox this (Monday) morn-
ing we learn that Knox Cris-
well lost a very fine mule this
morning. He has two more
that are sick.
We are not able to cope with
this dreadful disease. Can only
use treatment and care we
think best and let it run its
still here on account of sick
stock that has to be attended
to. The. loss has been quite*
heavy here. Eleven horses and
mules have died in this com-
munity and there is fifteen or
twenty cases now on hand.
This does not include any thing
that died in surrounding com-
munities.
Some cattle have died, but
the loss is not so great as the
loss of horses and mules. The
flies are not so bad as they
were and the disease appears
to be taking on a more mild
form than a week ago.
All hands are excited and
badly scared, and if we could
get rid of this fright by the
use of vaccine or in most any
other way, it would in my opin-
ion be a benefit to both man
and beast.
A few hogs have died and it
is reported the dogs have it
now. And that settles us, for
if the pot-tail hound dogs go
to passing in their checks we
are a ruined people.
