that it would. The colts, which were
logged up and down Main street, this
morning by their proud owners, We're
a fine looking lot of youngsters, and a
large number of them seemed threat

| before.

Medevise Martin at 1890 o'clock this
morning. The illness of the child and
her precarious condition were told in
The Spy this morning. Her parents can
with difficulty be brought to believe
that the little girl had diphtherfa. They
think that it was bronchitis with which
she was troubled in the fall, and acting
on this theory, DR.. Spooner was not
called soon enough to do anything 70
save the life of the child, who was but
| 10 months old. The body was taken to
st. Joseph's cemetery this morning by

yet in doubt.
