The branches of the tree struck the porch of the house and did some damage.<\/p>\n<p>**************************<\/p>\n<p>There were several members of the local gun club out for practice at the ball grounds Sunday. In spite of the high wind, some very good scores were made. The \u201cboys\u201d are getting in shape to issue a challenge to some of the neighboring teams sometime this summer.<\/p>\n<p>**************************<\/p>\n<p>Sneak thieves have a particular grudge against Stroud\u2019s Cash Store, it seems, or else they like the brand of merchandise found there. Sunday night someone entered the establishment and carried off a quantity of tobacco, cigars, hosiery and probably other merchandise not yet checked up on. The loss will probably be found less than a hundred dollars.<\/p>\n<p>**************************<\/p>\n<p>Colorado\u2019s newest national monument came into existence on March 2, 1933, when President Hoover issued a proclamation creating the Black Canon of the Gunnison National monument along the Gunnison river in the northeastern Montrose county.<\/p>\n<p>**************************<\/p>\n<p>Fendoll A. Sitton and \u201cFrosty\u201d Thompson passed through here Wednesday evening en route home from a trip to Rico. T hey report the road not so good but passable. Sitton reported having had an offer of $3.75 per cwt. for a stock of pinto beans he is holding. He believes that beans will represent real money soon.<\/p>\n<p>**************************<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. C. B. Morgan of Dove Creek, died at Cortez hospital Wednesday morning following an appendicitis operation. Mrs. Morgan and her husband were among the first settlers in the Dove Creek section and had many friends throughout the southwest section.<\/p>\n<p>**************************<\/p>\n<p>The fire siren is now hooked up with the local telephone office and is being tapped off each day at twelve noon. It doesn\u2019t mean that there is a fire anywhere except in the various cook stoves; but rather that it\u2019s time to eat and to enable anyone who desires to set his or their timepiece.<\/p>\n<p>**************************<\/p>\n<p>Clyde Royce was in from the Disappointment country this week and took out a load of supplies yesterday. He reported having sold his wool to a Montrose buyer for 12 cents per pound. This is the best sale reported to date, but probability is that twelve cents will be small compared to what will be the going price soon.<\/p>\n<p>**************************<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBumps\u201d Byers, of Lebanon, received several bad knife wounds in what appears to have been a sort of a free-for-all at a dance near Lebanon last Saturday night. He was slashed about the face and head, suffered some wounds on his neck and chest and one on the arm.<\/p>\n<p>**************************<\/p>\n<p>Mr. and Mrs. S. H.
