Oroville has at last secured q front
page position with scare heads. in the
Spokesman-Review. This publicity
was conceded last Friday morning

coming on nicely at the Oroville hos
pital. He is in cheerful spirits, al

pain and confinement and will be
stumping around in pretty fair shape
within a few weeks. He has found
the hospital such a pleasant place Of
sojourn that he will leave it with
feeling akin to regret.
