John Morrison returned Sunday night
from Duluth. He was operated on for
appendicitis on July Z, and was dis.
charged from the hospital about two
weeks ago. He is getting along fine,
rapidly recovering his strength. Mr.
Morrison had suffered for about year
and was in critical condition when he
went to the hospital. This is the first
Indian On the North Shore to submit to
a serious operation.
The citizens were reused from their
slumbers early Monday morning by
the ringing of the fire bell. People in
the neighborhood rushed into the street
in all styles of negllgee costume, soon to
find that it was the work of a practical
joker. There was no cause. After az
investigation Sheriff Carhart arrested
Ed Abom as the one who had toyed
with the bell ropes with such en4ivening
effect: Upon being brought into court
next morning he pleaded guilty and paid
1915 fine and costs, for the fun OF seeing
the people ''drill.' i.
