are trying to arrange to have some

George w. Newberry, is one who
plans to attend and possibly Com

The time for the show is Feb. 25 to

and police patrol. Efforts to arrange
the finances of the city in such way
that one of these vehicles can be pur-
chased in the spring will probably be
made.

The police department has commun-

Murphy intended to go to work and
no satisfactory result has come from
the inquiry. An effort will be made
to locate relatives of the missing man
and inform them of the accidental
was Murphy who was drowned.
