Alderman Lafranz desires the ARGUS to
say that the young man who pleaded
guilty to an assault the other day before
Squire Chopper was W. P. Corchrane, and
not William Corcoran who is in the en-
ploy of Messrs. Buford. Corchrane gave
the name of Corcoran in order, undoubted
ly, to cast stigma upon very worthy
young man.

on Monday last, at Trinity church was so
surprisingly excellent, especially that of

SO general it has been determined to repeat
it at the regular service next Sunday morn
ing and the simple announcement of the
fact will insure an OVERLOOKING attendance.

The insignificant sum of 1924 only re-
mains to be raised on or before next Mon
day IN order to enable the Swedish Baptist
church to release itself from the thralldom
of debt AS the society has raised every
cent it possibly can within it's own limits,
it is still hoped and believed that some
generous outsiders who still have faith in
the saying that lit is more blessed to give
than to receive, viii step forward at once
and assist in lifting the church out of the
Slough of Despond. 1t will be necessary
to raise the above named amount in order
to save the conditional subscriptions.

went out to Milan yesterday to call on Mr..
William Ruge, who lell from the roof. of
his house little over week ago, as stat
ed in the ARGUS of last evening, found
him still suffering severely. 1t seems that
he was engaged in hanging window blinds
at the time of the acct dent when he
slipped and fell landing squarely on his
heels on the ground below, which fractur
ed the bones of one ankle shockingly from
which he is now suffering as well as from
the shock of the fall generally. He is able
to get agOut some but has to travel on his
hands and knees.

dropped, towed him around into Fifteenth
street, where he was lying at last ac-
counts,) and said he would notify the
