to Pay Out Dispensary
Money.
The State of yesterday: Gov.
Ansel, in order to prevent the

 Physicians from Williamstown and rearby villages treated the injured, while a number of women volunteered their services as nurses. Several of the injured were removed to their homes after re- ceiving temporary treatment, but others were in too serious condition to be moved until tonight,s and cots were provided for them.
