Bruce April, Is, 1906. Last Friday
April goth, w. J. Stahman, president
of the Farmers Mutual Insurance Co.,
was taken seriously i'll, he was taken to
the Sacred Heart hospital at Eau
Claire, where he was operated on for
appendicitia within a few hours Of his
arrival. He went through the ordeal
splendidly and is now getting along as
well as could be expected. We hope to
see him back among us in few weeks
we'll and strong again. Mrs. Stahman
went down to make him visit last
Monday.
MISS Bessie Gray Of Barron is visit
ing her many friends in the village this
week.
Joseph Linebery, who was formely
employed in L. j. Stahman's repair
shops, but who went to see his parents
in Norway last autumn, is back at his
old stand again. He says he never
realized what a grand country the
United States was until he had occasions
to make comparisons.
Mrs. T. Fox is at the hospital at Chip
pewa Falls, for the third time this spring.
At last report she wasdoing very nicely.
Mrs. John Reed, who has been serious
ly i'll all winter, is able to be around
again and on Tuesday she went to Iur-
tie Lake to visit with friends for a short
time.
This ought to be good time to open
up the railroad crossing for second and
fourth streets. We understood that the
500 Line is going to put in a new water
tank, and as this is in line with second
street, it would be good time to have
them move it.
The village of Bruce sent $500 to the
suffers at San Francisco this week,
raised by the popular subscription.
This is about fifteen cents for every
man, woman, and child in the village.
w. A. Lilyquist of Weyerheauser was
i'll the village on business Monday.
The first effects of the coal strike is
being felt by the Arpin Hardwood Lum-
Der Co., here They ordered coal for
their locomotives but before it reached
them the railroad mpanies confscate
it and they are compelled to burn wood.
This makes the danger of fire very SER
ious, and makes it necessary for them
to have a man follow the locomotives
where ever they go.
0. G. Briggs made business trip to
Barron last Monday.
w. A. Blackburn made a business trip
to Weyerheauser the first of the week.
The base ball spirit is running roit-
ously through the village again. There
will be dance given next Friday night
in Daigles' hall for the benefit of the
base ball association.
This is the time of the year that the
trailing arbutus blooms. Everybody is
getting large boquets and sending it to
their friends who live in less favored
localities.
EVERYBODY is tearing their clothes in
