Lyle Martin, the young son of Mr..
and Mrs. r. T. Martin, is in a critical
condition as the result Of being kicked
( by a horse about two weeks ago. His

Last Saturday afternoon Miss Emma
Williamson, Of the High School, re-
ceived a message from her home in Can
non Falls, Minnesota stating, that her
mother had suffered a stroke of paraly-
| sis and TO come at once. She left on
Mondays coach for Harlowton and ex-
poets to reach home today. She hopes
to return in a few weeks but much de-
ponds upon the outcome of her mothers
affliction. For the present, at least, or
until Miss Williamson can be herd
from, the other teachers of the school
| will divide her classes up among them
and carry on the work without employ
ing another teacher. Her pupils as well
as many other friends and patrons of
the school hope that she may be able
to return within a short time.
II is reliably stated that unless some

| fail, Lewistown will have a fine Sisters
| hospital before another year. The
Daughters OF Jesus, members OF an or
grnazation Of Catholic sisters have been
| driven out OF France and settled in
England and America are at the head
| of the movement Since coming TO this
country they have built several hospi-
| tails in Montana, Lewistown being
about the only city in the state, OF any
size which has not been favored by the
| sisters with one of their most excellent
Institutions. But through the request
| Of Father j. NJ. Vermaat they have
| signified their willingness TO come here
| and build n fine hospital TO cost from
| $4,000 10 s25, 900, If they can perfect
| certain arrangements. The Father
seems confident that everything will
be arranged and that in early spring
| active work will co.r nencc ON n mag
nifcent hospital building TO be con-
structed near the present location of
the Catholic church.
