The S-year-ol6 son OF Mr.. and Mrs
Charles Clark living in the extreme
southern part of Deer Creek township,
has been quite seriously Ill with dip
iberia the past week. The boy was
regular attendant at the Lewis school
up TO the time he was taken sick, but
as the family has been placed under
strict quarantine ana all possible pre-
cautions observed it is not thought any
more cases will develop. The patrons
OF this school had considerable trouble
with the disease last spring. and one
death resulted but the school building
was thoroughly cleaned and repa.nted
afterwards and it was generally be-
lievcd that the germs had all been
killed out. While It is not definitely
known that the Clark boy contracted
the disease a. the school t'ore is a
possible chance this may be the case.

region is that of an unknown forrnci
resident of Buriing ton who is trying IL
pay back through local attorneys 6
sum of money which he found nanN
years ago here. He saw the money IL.
ing on the sidewalk. and, picking it up

kept silent. He used the money in his
business. That was about twenty fv'
years ago. He left Burlington a few
years later and he has not prospered

as he did twenty-fiv years ago. New
