Dickinson, buried their infant son on
Monday afternoon at the Dickinson
cemetery. He died from stomach
trouble which developed so swiftly that
the doctor could not do anything when
called. Mr.. and Mrs. Burns came from
Atwater, Mimi, last fall and intended to
take up a homestead in the spring.
Tuesday afternoon in the case of the

The most serious mishap resulting
from the church fire Saturday evening
was the accident to L. E. Gear. Mr..
Coar was placing a bottle of acid
chemicals in a fire extinguisher, when
the mixture exploded, blowing the cork
out and throwing a considerable amount
OF acid into his face. MI. Coar's face is
badly burned and he has been unable to
see anything with his left eye since the
accident. He is employed by the N. P.

Brainerd, MIMI, where he ,will receive
treatment in the hospital at the expense
of the company.
Elizabeth, the one year old daughter
OF MI. and Mrs. Charles Bake, died
Saturday, February 2, after an illness
of only a few days. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bake, the child's parents, left here
last fall for the old country and accord
ing to the last report received from Mr..
Bake, they were visiting at his old
home in Norway. For the past three
months the little girl has been cared
for by her grandparents. Mr.. and Mrs.
Nicholas Springer. The child had been
considered in good health and the
absence of the parents makes it a par
ticularly sad case. The funeral was
held from st. Joseph's church, Monday
morning.
The masquerade ball held under the
auspices of the Ladies' Guild of St.
Johns church in the opera house Tues
day evening was a largely attended and
very social event. The costumes, as a
whole, we're quite elaborate. Nearly
every one who wore a mask represented
some especial character, making the
affair brighter and far more interesting
than the ordinary disguise, where Moth
ing in particular is portrayed, and it is
simply a matter of guessing, who's who7
Special mention could be made of many
of the costumes and the manner in
which the different characters were
symbolized, but it would have been a
very difficult task for judges t decide
the prize winners, as to costumes, make
up and presentation. The music was
furnished by the Davis orchestra and
the numerous encores elected from the
dancers showed their appreciation Of
good music. The fun started with the
grand march and there was no lull in
the %jolliication until the mirth-makers
were on the way to their respective
homes. Those who did no care to join
in the dancing found entertainment on
the stage where. card games were
played. During the evening the dancer.
we're served with fruit punch and waters
by four young ladies'. The ladies of the
Guild left nothing, undone ia make the
evening an enjoyable one and at the
same time added to their treasury a
neat little sum Of money.
