Western Missouri. Often, and espec-
ially in severe weather, the hydropho-
bia cat will make its way into houses,
dugouts or stables, biting people and
animals it may come in contact with,
and many cases of hydrophobia in do-

bite. Very frequently hydrophobia
come in from the Staked

TIMMS CITY
Lipscomb Co., Texas,
Is located in tlie north part of the county and
on the proposed route of two main systems of
railroads. Is situated on the Kiowa creek i
which is a tributary for a large body of fine
land as can be found in any country. Plenty of
water flows in its channels and an abund-
ance of timber skirts its banks. The town,
though only a few months old can show
buildings which would be a credit to a town
as many years in age. Business m^n can lo-
cate here with a certainty of a lucrative!
trade, as the country is nearly all smooth ag-
ricultural land which will be"settled thickly'
in a very short time. Prices on lots are now
low as compared with other towns with sim-
ilar advantages, and are sure to double and
treble in the next few months. Speculators
or those wishing to invest in town property
where it will bring them a big innumeration
should by all means come to Timms City.
