Grangeville is certainly to be
congratulated over the arrival in
the city OF Mrs. H. H. Craven, a
most accomplished and finished
musician. Mrs. Craven has stud
led in both the Conservatives of
Boston and Minneapolis. Her in
strumental music is purely CLASH
cal. She sang with Melba at the
Musical Festival, which was given
some time since in Boston.
G. S. Stevens, of the firm of
Huseby, Stevens & Pelky, will
leave tomorrow for an extended
trip to the Seven Devils district.
There is no question but that the
departure of Stevens will leave a
void in the hearts of the fun-loving
people of Grangeville which it will
be hard and take a long time to
fill. However, success go with
you, Steve.
George Shissler, Jr., is reported
by DR.. Bibby to be in quite a seri-
Gus condition through a tree falling
on him at Newsome, as reported in
these columns last week. The tree
fell across his shoulders and he on
ly escaped instant death by mir
acle. The internal injuries are
much more serious than the exter-
nal, but George has very robust
constitution and splendid physical
frame aud with youth behind it
we hope to see him pull through.
Roy Jensen is visiting in Grange
vile for few days prior to his re-
turn to Klondike. MIR. Jensen

OF going to Elk City, at which
place he has brother, but was re-
called by wire. He will immedi-
ately return to the north.
