The state medical council has rescinded

| Physicians and surgeons who. come into

John Lynch, one of the old-time oil
men of this section, took a party of 80
friends to Pithole yesterday. As the ma
jority of the party had been employed on
wells in or near Pithole, when it was one
of the big towns in this neighborhood,

exchanged. They ate luncheon on the
site of the famous United States we'll,

streets and picked flowers in places that

Forest fires, in connection with the
high winds Sunday, did considerable
damage and caused much trouble for the
farmers in Triumph and Deertield town
ships. Mrs. Benz. Georges dwelling
house in Triumph was burned with all
its contents. Mrs. George was alone at
home and we understand not a thing was
saved, and the loss falls quite heavily on
her. In Deerfeld at the same time the
barn of Mrs. Joe A. Thompson was
burned, together with all her farming
implements, consisting of rake, now
ing machine, wagon, carriage, etc. IL
was a complete loss. Both these build

and were supposed TO be safe, but the
wind carried sparks to them and befors
! help could be secured they were burned.

was finally gotten under control on Mon
