ed. Emerson won over the National
Trust by score of 81, played in the
afternoon, then following Pembina and
st. Jean crossed bats, resulting 81.
The game in the evening between En-
erson and Pembina, which was the de-

DR.. w. H. Falcon has sold his dental
practice here to DR.. Mcqueen of Milton.
This announcement will be read with
regret by the citizens of, Pembina and
surrounding towns, where the doctor is
so well known. DR.. Falcon and his
wife will be especially missed in church
circles where they have been jealous
workers. They have been very active in
the Epworth League of the Methodist
church, the doctor being president of
that society for some years. They will
be sorely missed here. They expect to
leave for their new home in Saskatoon
the last of this week. Many friends will
bid them God-speed.

With his brother he had come lin from

sat conversing in the barn, when sharp
flash of lightning attracted their atten-

the remark that it must have struck
close. He had just reached the door
when another flash came and he fell to
the floor. He was already dead when
his brother reached him. His untimely

Up to the Thursday before his death
his health had been remarkably good
though the years were heavy upon him.
Except for impaired eyesight and hear
ing his faculties physical and mental
were we'll preserved. On Thursday
afternoon while passing from one room
to another through the doorway, he
stumbled and fell over his cane, and in
falling twisted his leg under him and

perhaps broke the neck of the hip bone.
He was lifted in chair and sat there
some time talking sensibly and clear
ly, and saying that the pain was not at
all severe. Later he was put in bed and
during the evening he sank in COMA

the shock, and continued thus until
Saturday morning about three. He
then began to rally as to consciousness
and was conscious when spoken to from
that time until Monday morning, wien
he began to grow weaker and at about
four o'clock that afternoon he died with.

tie if any after he took his bed. Fun

-FOUR DAYS REQUIRED
TO DELIVER LETTER
More Evidence Showing Mis-
management of the Salt
Lake POStOfflce.

It takes n letter three days to come
to Salt Lake from Los Angeles. II re-
qulres four days TO get 1t delivered in
Salt Lake even when bearing a special
delivery stamp. The train that carries
the mail between the two cities makes
the trip In less than thirty six hours. 4
cenlber 20. 1906. and is delivered 20 its
destination in this city on the afternoon
OF December ~ although IL had n special
delivery stamp on II. Here Is Miss Lotta
McElroy's experience In getting a letter
out of the mismanaged postofflce in Salt
Lake Sity.
On December 20. 1906. a registered let
ter. bearing q special delivery stamp and
plainly addressed TO Miss Lolita Nc
Elroy, 504 South First West street. Salt
Lake City, Utah, left the Los Angeles
postoffce. II was received at the Salt
Lake postoffice on Sunday. December %,
as the receiving stamp shows, although
stamp with heavier ink over the first
one and attempting 10 show that the
letter was received at the postofflce here
on December 81. The figures 81 are
very pronounced and made TO cover the
first figures % This letter, according
TO the postoffice marks. arrived in Salt
Lake December %, Miss McElroy called
at the delivery window between the hours
of 12 m. and / p m. and was Informed
that there was not letter. All the mail
addressed to 50i South First West is
delivered during the week by carrier,
The non receipt of the letter so important
and so carefully sent for safe and prompt
disappointment TO Miss McElroy,
ii simply adds more evidence TO show
that the postoffice of Zion is mismanaged
by a probationary postmaster
