THE PICTURE Co.
Mrs. L. M. Schwab Sunday received
an eight-year-oid boy from the Mis-
souri, Orphans Home, st. Louis. His
name is Harry Hollis Ollie and his
home was formerly in Cape Girardeau
county. He seems to be a bright and
cheerful little fellow and we congratu-
late him on getting such a good home.
Frank Dettmar, who has been en-
ployed in the lead mines in st.
Francois county for a number of years,
has bought eighty acres of land and a
house and lot adjoining the town of
Pilot Knob from a Hungarian by the
name of Fritsch, and will make his
future home there. We are glad Mr..
Dettmsr is returning to Iron County.
MI. Harry D. Griffith, formerly of
this county, but who has been making
his home in Bismarck for some time
past, will be an applicant for High
way Engineer of st. Francois county,
when the newly elected court meets
next month. Mr.. Griffith is compe-
tent for the place and many Iron
county friends hope he will land it.
Our long time friend, Mr.. James E.
Pinkley, of Lewistown, Montana, last
Friday sent US a fine cane-of diamand
willow. 1t is indeed, an artistic and
attractive stick and we assure Mr..
Pinkley of our sincere appreciation.
The present was delivered through
Mr.. Pinkley's brother, of Reynolds
county, who has just returned from a
years s~ojourn in Montana.
Among the cases to be tried at the
adjourned term of circuit court next

Scott knocked Meyer down. The lat
ter never regained consciousness and
died within a couple Of days.

days and views of many local celeb
rites were thrown on the screen. Five
hundred people paid admission.
