limbs Strengthened out.
Mary B. McPake, superintendent of
nurses at the st. Alexius hospital,
came down to Hazelton last evening
to act as witness in the probating
of the will of the late Thos. Kelly. The

Some ashes dumped out on the prai-
rie near the old Williamsport school
house caused a prairie fire Wednesday
morning that burned over strip about
half mile in length before it could be
extinguished. 1t caused lot of ex-
citement for short time.
Trouble seems to cling to the Kertz-
man family. Three Of the boys have
contracted typhoid during the past two
months, one of them, Tony, having
died Oct. 18th, and another still in
the hospital with raging fever.
Then to cap the climax the father, Pc
ter Kertzman, came down with the dis
ease last week and was taken to the
hospital. His case, however, has not
yet developed into the serious nature
as those of the boys. Louis, who was
the first victim of the disease, is now
well on the road to recovery.
First thing we know there will be
an organized band of prairie pirates
who will boldly hold up the farmer
when he is coming to town with load
of flax, because flax is real treasure
of the Captain Kidd stamp this fall.
At least Gottlieb Grenz, of the Gay
ton country, is one farmer who has ex-
perienced bold robbery of flax A
few days ago he sent his hired man
one Faylor-to Linton with load of
flax with instructions to ne,l it. Fay
lor carried out Instructions faliy but
he forgot to return home WITH the
money. Instead he boarded tie river
stage and went to Bismarck and dis
appeared.
The village board will hold regular
meeting next Monday evening al
which time the final approval of the
newly drafted village ordinances vii
be made and the same ordered pub
lished. There seems to be consider
able. impatience on the part Of some
of the citizens because these ordi
nances have not been put into effect
but if they will stop and consider tina
it all takes time when new organi
zation is in process of perfection the,
will bear with the board and await th
time when these matters can properl,
be turned out in perfected state
1t must also be remembered that ther
is no money at hand to be used by tn
board and it is rather hard sleddinl
to try to do any great things unit
finances can be had.
One Of the largest steers that ha
