Show OUTLAW BRAND The homey place where I was raised Goes back in time to outlaw days. A run-down barn and leanto shed With mud-daubed walls where horses fed. Crude black brands charred on the side, Monuments of each man's pride Who stopped there for a night of rest While plundering the Old Wild .West. We built our home a simple way Against the walls of logs and clay And left intact the branded proof That outlaws had once shared our roof. , Growing up, we often ran Our fingers over each old brand And wondered all about the men Who left their signatures back then. Did Butch and Sundance hunker down Around a fire just out of town While posse searched the river bed Not knowing of the barn and shed? And while the branding irons grew hot, Did the outlaws split the pot? Then flaunt their whereabouts in black In case they never made it back? As kids will do, we played pretend, That we as robbers must defend Ourselves as they did in the past Against the heavy six-gun blast Of lawmen riding on our tail In hot pursuit along the trail; And we could almost feel the rush Of ghosts behind us in the brush. Now these dwellings still remain, The brands, though faded, look the same. Though all of us have changed and grown And each has grandkids of our own. We take their tiny hands in ours And trace brands, the blackened scars, To keep alive the age-old tales Of life lived on the Outlaw Trails. Wilma M.

This is due to a recent re-cent water shortage in which taking water turns did not help. This past year, the water district has developed devel-oped additional water and it has previously pre-viously been approved. However, the small line that the town had connected con-nected to the district's system has not let the water supply recover so a larger line will be connected. The town will be buying water until its system recovers from an earlier leak and the recent heavy use. Since this past week included the long Independence Day weekend, the system did not have much of a chance to recover with the influx of people in the area. The weather remained re-mained hot until Saturday afternoon when a nice rain shower dampened things. The showers and the district's dis-trict's water has brought the pressure pres-sure up somewhat.
