The theater attendance Is poor.
The police have all they can do to
handle the blind pigs.

LITTLE GIRL CHOKEs.

DIR Moore was called hurriedly to

Duncan north Of the city Monday
night. The little two year old daugh-
ter had become choked and ON arrival
the doctor found fairly good sized
piece OF potato in her throat The
child was unconscious and on examina-
ton the doctor found that sufficient
air was passing to the lungs to sus-
tain life. A tube was placed in the
child's throat and she was brought to
town and the following morning the
obstruction was removed. When the
child became unconscious the parents
grew frantic thinking that death had
claimed their little one and words can
hardly express their relief when they
found she was stiu In the land Of the
living. The tube afforded such relief
that the child seemed to sleep quietly
until morning when the little miss
was returned home not much the
worse for her experience.
