Saturday evening and Sunday after

Musically it was all that had been
claimed for it in advance, and more.
1t is an achievement in the history
of the Choral club that will mark a
step in its progress. To have rem

way it was done on both occasions
is compensation for the time and
work that has been spent on it, ir-
respective of the audience. Under
the able leadership of Prof. Carlo

admirable. The chorus is quite we'll

Babe HANGED in Swing.

Little Paulie Habermehl, while
swinging in a rope swing at her
home in Grand Junction, fell in such
a way as to choke, and, when found
by her mother, was unconscious, re-
naming so until her death. Pauline
had been playing in the swing for
some time, ard about 1900 o'clock
in the morning her father went that
way and stopped to talk to her. She
was still in the swing when he left
her, and about five minutes after
ward her mother found her lying
with the rope under her throat. The
mother took the child to the house
and called The father. DR.. Reed was
summoned and did all in his power
to save the child, but she never re-
gained consciousness. At the time
of her death she was just two years
old to the day. The supposition is
that the swing ropes slipped from
beneath the babes arms and tight
ened around her throat.

10 O'Clock, fell into boiler OF scald-

doctor. He was made as comforta-

peared that the burns were not fat

the worse developed and at noon he
succumbed.

death is but the slipping off of the
outer body. When death strikes

Serum For Lock Jaw.

Over at Magnolia, Harrison coun-
ty, is reported one of the rarest
cases of surgical success in the Unit
ed States. A young fellow named
Lew Unmack, some days before, ran
a rusty nail in his foot Lock jaw
resulted a few days later and all
hope OF saving his life seemed at an
end. Then his brothers took him in
an automobile to Omaha where a
specialist cut out section of his
skull, exposing the brain and then
injected right into the brain some
of the anti-tetanus serum. Four
hours later the young man regained
consciousness, his jaws relaxed, and
he asked to be taken home, and is
now apparently saved from what
seemed certain and awful death.

trying to get settled with the gun on
the harrow seat the weapon was dis
charged, two loads entering the
right side of his body.
