Creighton News

Mrs. Bruce McRill, who has been con- fined to her bed for several days, IS now able to be about again.
 Mrs. Wilson's father, MT. Ozanne, ot
 Tempe, died last Tuesday morning and the neighborhood extends its sym pathy to the bereaved family.
 The report comes from Mcfherson, Kan, that Mir. Burton, who spent part
 of the winter in this valley and who with his wife was frequent visitor at the Bixby and Mackey homes, has been more or less seriously hurt in a runaway accident. His team started to run away while he was out of his mail wagon, and though he succeeded 1 in getting hold of the lines, he could not stop the horses until they had dragged him quite a distance and
 bruised him up badly.
 The school report for the first five months of Creighton school is as fol- | lows: Whole number of days attended i in the four rooms 9766; whole num-

 ness 169; boys enrolled S3; girls 59; ! total 136; average number belonging 1 1085S: average daily attendance 103.S9; per cent of attendance 96. Con- l sidering the wet weather and some of l the very bad roads over which many
 of the children had to come, this is
 a very good report. We have twenty [ pupils from. other districts who pay tuition to come to Creighton.
