Herbert and Conrad Haight and William Dix, Jr., made a flying trip , out to their Nevada cattle ranch the I first of this week, this being Her-, Her-, bert's first opportunity to visit the J property in which he is interested, since his return from an European , mission several months ago. Dr. H. H. Wilkinson came up from Hurricane last Sunday evening to j see his father, J. T. Wilkinson, who had quite a serious relapse that even- ing. He was accompanied by another son of the sick man, Jos. T. Wilkinson, Wilkin-son, Jr., who has a ranch at Canebcds, Arizona, and who has spent a few days with his father and other relatives rela-tives here. J. M. Wicks came in from Stateline a few days ago and is paying a visit to his fruit farm and other interests at Leeds. Mr. Wicks states that the camp of Stateline is beginning to pick up again. The Liberty Leasing company, com-pany, he states, are making good progress pro-gress in the sinking of their new shaft. Wilford Webster, recently returned soldier of this place, is another victim of the planing mill, losing one of his fingers early this week. This makes about six persons in Cedar to lose one or more fingers via the planer or small circular saw route. Looks as if some precaution could be taken to prevent this kind of accidents. A number of arrests have recently been made by the local peace officers of young men for gambling, which appears ap-pears to be on the increase here. This condition, however, is probably (me I to the fact that other amusements f are closed against the young people 1 on account of influenza. We trust that 1 the trouble will abate with the return to normal conditions again.

Macfarlane, Wilkinson and Berg-strom. Berg-strom. The operation was apparently successful and the patient is slowly recovering from the effects, anil is far enough along to permit of his leaving the hospital today. As the patient is in his 72nd year, the element of risk was considerable, but the operation was the only hope of improved health. A number of our local Nimrods are asking why we do not have a big rabbit rab-bit hunt one of these days. The weather is splendid, and this is the time of the year to do effectual work before the spring increase comes on, for one rabbit killed now may mean a score less at the end of the summer. Ammunition is high, of course, but to offset this there is a bounty of 5c on the scalps and the carcasses are worth $2.60 per doz. delivered Lund. It looks like a proposition of killing two or three birds with one stone, and the boys are getting hungry for some sport of this kind, particularly the soldiers who have recently returned re-turned from the training camps. Some body choose sides, or throw down a banter, and let's get the game started.
