DIR. James Mills, one of the best
known physicians of Rock county,
ended his life by drowning in the river
in GAINESVILLE at an early hour Monday
morning, while mentally deranged. DR..
Mills has been in failing health for
some months. Suddenly becoming vio-
lent over year ago he went to Men
dota hospital for treatment and came
back home some four weeks ago, APP
parently much improved in health. 1t
has been his custom when not able to
sleep well to go down stairs during the
night for something to eat. He did
this early Sunday morning and Mrs.
Mills thought nothing unusual of it I'M
til he did not return.
-Delmar, the eight year old son of
Ted Carey, employed in the Williams
barber shop, sustained broken arm
by being run over by d. D. Browns
car on Fulton street Friday afternoon.
The lad with other companions were
playing among the rigs tied in the
street and lodged out from behind one
of them directly in front of Browns
auto as he was moving along the street
at a moderate speed. The boy was
knocked down and both wheels passed
over him. though the car was stopped
almost within its length. 1t was one
those accidents that are seemingly un-
avoidable and the boy was fortunate in
not being more seriously injured.

Alps and are exceptionally beautiful.

this attraction. Edith Storey, Antonio
Moreno and William Duncan will be

graph feature, on Saturday. This
photoplay is taken from the book of
the same name written by Hamlin Gar
land. "Forget-Me-Not," a Brady pic
ture, will be seen on Monday with

"Forget- Me-Not," as stage play
under the name of ''Stefanie, enjoyed
a wonderful popularity. Now in mo-
ton picture it has been staged on
scale utterly impossible on the speak
ing stage. Kitty Gordon in the role of
the Corsican peasant girl, who climbs
to undreamed heights, does some clever
acting. Coming, Thanksgiving, Mary
Pickford in ''Poor Little Rich Girl. !"
