Alfred Skippen of Payette. Charley
Decker, the six-year-old son of Jake
4 Decker, has been suffering for a long
! time with chronic affection of the ear
which at times resulted in mattery
discharge. The doctor removed Sc ,
eral large maggots from the effected ear
! which appear to have eaten away the
small muscles attached to the little
oones OF the ear, and would very
! soon have worked their way through
to the brain. DR.. Sleippen thinks the
maggots are the results of fly which
deposited its eggs while the child
slept.

$500 cash. This Brown kept so quietly
That very few knew of the sale until
within two or three days. Then 1t be-
came public. The cause for Browns
peculiar action is believed to be his
aversion to his wife At the last term
OF the district court he tried to get a
divorce from her, but failed, and Judge
otocksiager ordered him to pay her
$40 alimony monthly. This Brown de-
elined to do, qreferring to sacrifice the
