Mr.. Beverly came TO town for his family
who went out TO see the child
and upon his arrival he at once pro-
nounced the disease measles. What
makes the case of such marked interest
TO the public is the manner in which the
little fellow caught the disease. The
letter was given to him and he carried
it for hours and talked about his grand
ma, who had been here helping TO take
care of him during his recent sickness.
\ number were exposed before the
parents knew the nature of the disease
To make the diagnosis more difficult the
little boy had been eating cake and
maple sugar, that caused an attack of
indigestion. This is case Of measles
carried in a letter beyond Il peradven-
ture. The doctor in relating the case,
said that measles is the most contagious
of all the eruptive fevers. 1t affects the
vast majority Of mankind in all civilized
countries, and it may be carried in
clothing or other materials imbued with
contagion. In all probability there will
be more cases of measles southwest Of
town. Mr.. Beverly lives two and one
half miles west and one mile south of
Alma.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
An Italian Run Over by the
Cars.
STANTLY KILLED.

Thursday night when the Ann Arbor
stub train left Ithaca for st. Louis, two
Italians and one lady boarded the train
for Alma. The girl, May Thomas, and
the fellow with her, Tony Rock, paid
their fare, but the other dago, who gave
his name as Mike Roberts, was intoXi.
Gated and tried TO bluff the conductor.
The latter allowed him TO ride to Alma
where all three left the train, but as the
engine started once more all three tried
TO board the train. The man Roberts
was expelled twice when he finally
rolled off into the ditch. The engineer
started TO run away from him, but the
fellow sprang forward catching one of
the truss rods but slipped and falling
under the train was run over across
the abdomen, killing him instantly.
Conductor Merrill Immediately stopped
the train and informed Justice Gee who
called Jury and viewed the remains.
The inquest was adjourned until Fri
day morning when verdict that the
man Roberts came TO his death by his
own carelessness was rendered The
remains were buried i'll the Riverside
Cemetery Saturday.
The events which led up TO this rash
act are not without interest. The girl,
Thomas, claims to hail from Toledo and
say she was engaged TO marry Roberts.
She came to Ithaca last Tuesday i'll re-
sponse to a letter from Roberts expect
ing 10 marry him.
Thursday he was intoxicated and the
girl asked Tony Rock to take her TO
Alma so she could get away from him.
Roberts followed and the two quarreled
necessarily all the way over. He even
threatening them with Il knife. When
they reached Alma the fellow was killed
The report that the Thomas girl had
stolen his money does not seem to be
proven by tire evidence brought out il
the inquest, though Roberts did not
have a cent of money on his person

child was taken sick, Mr.. Beverly's
mother wrote her son letter to inform
him of the fact that they had the mea-
sles, and while writing excused herself
a time or two to care for her sick ones.
The letter was received two days after
written, and in just nine days from that
time the little fellow showed symptoms
Oh the disease. In view of the fact
there were no measles in the neighbor-
hood and that the child had been out
and got his feet wet the stage of in

Athletic Association Entertain
ment.
In spite of the unpropitious weather
without, a very fair crowd assembled III
the college chapel Friday evening to
listen to the entertainment and bur-
lesque by the members of the athletic
association.
The first half of the program consisted
of charming selection by the "Olla
Podrida Club" two very popular recita-
tions by David Magaw, which greatly
delighted the hearers; a bass solo by G..
E. Scott "a pleasing song by McCabe and
Johnson, Patrick and Samanthy;" a
mastery number by the Mandolin Club;
recitation by Murza Chaplin, the only ;
one of Miss Writings instrumental solos
and selection by the Banjo Club.
The first half of the program was well
worth the price of admission, each one of
the performers doing themselves proud.
The second part, the burlesque, was
decidedly novel and well chosen. The
fellows had just returned from foot
ball game, all patched up and much the
worse for wear, some were on crutches,
some had all arm done up, some broken
head, etc, but all were in mourning for
their fullback, "Davie" was knocked
out. Knox delivered the grafton over
his dead body, while all the fellows
wept and cheered alternately as the
words reached their ears. AS the ora
ton closed "Davie" regained conscious
ness the fellows went wild, hugged each
other, gave the yell and disappeared.
Those present were more than de
| lighted throughout.

TRACK ATHLETICS.
A Bright Outlook for Alma this
Year.
ALL THE OLD STARS WILL SOON
GOlNTO TRAINING.

~ iAN ~
AS the spring opens and weather be-
comes fully settled, attention naturally
turns to the diamond and track, and not
few are inquiring what are the
prospects for the season:
Last year Alma's track team won the
championship of the Saginaw Valley,
will they do it again:
The present outlook for an especially
strong team this year is more than
promising.
All the old men will go into active
training as soon as the ground is well
settled and large number of new can
didates are waiting for trial.
The regular college field day will
occur the last of May, and the winner:
from this will doubtless make up the
track team for the annual Saginaw Valley
Meet. The managers have nearly com
pleted arrangements for the meet TO bC
held in Saginaw, and Alma must up
hold her former high standard and brins
that banner and relay cup back again
All that is needed is the hearty coop
Grafton of every fellow Don't be afrait
to try. Who knows but that you may
be record breaker: Rally arounC
Manager Young and show him that he
shall not want for material.
Stir up enthusiasm in behalf of th'
maroon and cream track team and don
be afraid to work. You can study bette
| if YOU take outdoor exercise.
