The scarlet fever in the Nels Han
sen home is getting along nicely with
no serious developments. All of the
children have had it and are getting
on famously. They are taking every
precaution and there is little danger
of its spreading.
Quite number of the children in
town are sick as indeed the peculiar
condition of the atmosphere has given
nearly everyone cold. Some en-
terrain doubts if Christmas tree
can be arranged for on account of the
slight sickness.
Dave Carpenter is again down to

Lou Grevsmuhl has resigned his

maturity.
John Mountz, the we'll known
trapper, hunter and pioneer is quite

needs be or like iron as the chances
may be. For years he has been land
to soon hear of his recovery.
