Rokeby Notes

A.F. Steinhausen of Rokeby returned home from Omaha one evening last week 
wiser to the amount of $5 than when he left. It seems that he sympathized, "not 
wisely, but too well," with a couple of chaps who were chock full of confidence 
and nerve, but somewhat shy of small change, and when he stepped off the train 
at Rokeby and counted up what he had left he found that he was shy a five dollar 
bill which he had used in making change with the light-fingered gents.

A.M. Reddish and wife left Saturday for a visit with relatives in New York.

Mrs. George Jones has also departed for a short sojourn in the east.

A.F. Steinhausen is entertaining his father of Omaha this week.

The pops of Yankee Hill precinct held their primary at Alliance hall Saturday night.  
The hall was crowded to its utmost capacity. The largest gathering of its kind 
ever known in these parts.

There were several parties from Rokeby who drove down to Bennet to 
attend the camp meeting Sunday.
