STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS, MAY 5. 1905,
• Storm Damage* Residence.
The storm of Friday was very
severe at Sylvan, east of Ste-
\phenville, and did no little
damage „to houses, trees and
growing crops. John Lee’s resi-
dence was blown off its founda-
tion, as was the kitchen of Joe
Hughes. Neighbors met on Sat-
urday, and repaired the damages
on these two houses.
Carried his Supper.
Last Saturday evening a coyote
wolf appeared on Belnap street
about one block from the squafe.
The weather was very cloudy and
dark, and a drizzling rain was
falling, and no doubt Mr. Wolf
thought that it was time to rustle
for a supper. Sucoess had at-
tended his efforta for he carried
a chicken in his mouth.
There is a standing reward at
Eastland for a coyote wolf, which
makes its living within the cor-
porate limits, catching chickens.
Several times dogs have chased
it through the streets of the town,
but all efforts to kill or catch it
have been fruitless.
G. B. Roberts now takes the
Tribune and Dallas News. He’s
among the progressive young
generation.
G. N. Kelly, with his wife and
daughter, left this week for the
land of sunshine, fruits and
flowers, California.
J. P. Siler, west of the city,
reports that oats are better at this
season than during any previous
year,
B. L- Lane, of San Antonio,
an old school mate of John Groea-
beeok, was in the city on Monday.
G. S. Sherrill states that the
late rains deposited a large A-
harrow in his pasture. It broke
down a string of his fence to get
in. Mr. Sherrill makes every-
thing work that stays on his
place, ana he does not like to see
this machine “laying up in idle-
nees.”
H. M. Thompson, of the Salem
country, reports crops looking
well, butsaysitis somewhat mud-
dy, and work is at a standstill.
Mayor Collins, at an adjourneitf
meeting of the city council, ape
