taken place during the week, nine
year-old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ernest Geise and an eleven year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph Happ. No
new cases have been reported since Mon
day and the few cases under quarantine

home of her brother, Fremont Ide, with
broken ankle which she sustained in a
fall on Saturday last. DR.. McChesney
was called to reduce the fracture but
the advanced age of Mrs. Howe, who is
now 73, with her enfeebled condition
makes it extremely doubtful of her re-
covery. She is a sister of Mrs. George
Coxhead, DIR. Howe, her husband, being
one of the early day physicians in this
locality. Her two daughters, Mrs. A. w.
Shelton of Rhinelander and Miss Grace

The Irma Opera company at Royal
hall last Monday evening was patronized
most satisfactorily to the company and
managers of the hall. 1t was an enter

variety of tastes in this lire and the
company presenting "Th' Adorable
Fritzie" were we'll schooled in acting and

dancing, scenic and electrical effects, to-
gether with the chorus in several
changes of costumes Of beautiful de-
sign, were as good as ever introduced
here, while the comedy kept the audi
ence in laughter during the whole per-
Torrance. A return engagement of the
Irma Opera company would pack Royal
| hall to its capacity.
Was it fair for the "Old Timers" to
ring in an up-to date battery in the high
school game at the Driving Park Tues
| day afternoon? That's the question
which was very much discussed on the
grounds and since. If it hadn't been for
the Behnke Bros. occupying the points
the "Old Timers would scarcely got
look in. After the high school team got
over their stage fright they played a
snappy game and good, close ball, too.
There was good attendance out and
everyone seemed TO enjoy the exhibition.
The band introduced a special brand of
base ball music which was also greatly
enjoyed. Score by innings was as fol-
