log thief and other pet names, at the
same time made such demonstrations
that he actually feared personal in
jury, The contention, however, even.

George Hance. son OF Rev. Samuel
Hance, was on the camp grounds. He
stated that he visited his father on
Tuesday and he had partially recov.
cred from the paTalytlo attack exper-
fenced on Saturday and was able to
converse freely. He thought his con.
dition was partially owing TO norphia
that had been administered to alllevi-

painful but 1t is probable that he will
yet live several weeks II not eeveral

with nursing and watching, and at
times fears that her career may DO the

TO the S5th anniversary of her birth.

their neighbors In their prolonged al
