Lord Algy is really a capital fellow
good hearted and a gentleman, helping
his brother out of scrapes by incrimin-

an ambiguous position, owing to his
brothers penchant for a married lady.
Neither of the two latter are in love
with each other, but the lady is romantic
and wants an affinity. while the brother
is in search of a mild excitement. On
this rests the play. There are many
delightful side issues. But all ends hap

MISTAKE IS PROBEO
TON WRONG CABIN FIXED.

Interesting Letter Received From City

At an investigation of the facts sur

would like to state to your readers that
through ignorance or malice the only
truth contained in the article, so far as
the city health Office is concerned, is that
a cabin was fumigated.
"The fumigator did not get the key
from any person. Mr.. Fern himself
opened the cabin door with a key bor-
rowed from an inmate of a cabin next
door, He was so anxious to avoid pub

he would see that the cabin would be
closed until the patients return from the
pest house.
ut is true that strong dose of
formaldehyde was put into and around
the cabin. DR.. Sheeran, the county
physician, advised me to go TO Mr.. Ferns
store and have him show me the cabin.
He also informed me the next day that
Mr.. Fern had made a mistake in the
cabin. I followed the advice of both the
city and county doctors DR.. Leggat in
sisted on thorough fumigation, which

to locate the cabin.
''Mr. Fern opened the cabin and as
sured me that it was the place that
the patient had been removed from.
AS he was the owner of the cabin, the

scare, however, and started to fight for
his money and watch.
He landed on the man with the gun

Provisions Are Damaged.

Nichol was damaged by the application
of the fumigation compounds to his pro-
visions. which he said destroyed them,
and he has presented claim to the city.
DR.. Leggat is of the opinion that the
formaldehyde used to disinfect the cabin
only acted as preventative on some
elk meat which was stored there. but it
is questionable whether he would care
to eat the latter after it's treatment.
