ly sick since last Friday from an at
tack of gall stones. She had expect
ed to go to Omaha at an early date
to undergo an operation, but these at
tacks leave her in a very weakened
condition and it will probably be
some time before she will be strong
enough for such an ordeal. Many

come so often and trust that she may
soon be free from them, with an OPP
Grafton if necessary; without one If
possible. She is reported as imprOv-

school house had been broken into
and that the books and other contents
of the desks were torn and thrown
about the building and other property
