--W. F. Read and J. C. Kesterson of Sidney, Iowa, closed a deal last
week with Winfield & Jessup for the Scheck ranch of 960 acres south
of Latham. This is considered one of the greatest bargains in land
that has been secured in this locality this season. Messrs. Read and
Kesterson will build new dwellings and barns and make other
improvements. When all the improvements they are contemplating are
complete these gentlemen will own one of the model ranches of
southern Kansas. They will move out about March 1st. In behalf of
the people of Lathan and the surrounding county, the Mirror offers
hearty welcome.--Latham, Kansas "MIRROR".
--On information sworn out by Rev. Joseph Berkheimer some two weeks
ago, before Justice Leeka, a search warrant was put into the hands
of Constable Sollider and 18 gallons of liquor seized at the McPaul
depot. County Attorney Norcott was over Wednesday to prosecute the
case and Fremont Benjamin, of Council Bluffs, appeared for a
wholesale liquor house, of Lexington, Ky., which shipped in the
liquor. Benjamin asked for a continuance of the case in order to
obtain depositions from the house; the petition was granted and the
trial set for February 20th. The 18 gallons of liquor were consigned
to 10 different persons in the vicinity of McPaul. The liquor will
perhaps go into the gutter. |
