CREIGHTON To HAVE
ELECTION SATURDAY

CREIGHTON, March 2S.-The GEN.
sus report which had to be in the
county school superintendent office
by April l has been completed and
sent in. There are 240 names en-
rolled, which is fifteen more than in
the report of last year. The rumoi
has been persistently circulated that
there were ten less, but that is a
mistake.
The regular school election will be
held on Saturday at the school house,
for the purpose of electing one trus-
tee for q term Of three years. Mr..
Perry, whose term expires Saturday,
is nominated to succeed himself.
Everyone above the age of 81
years, who is the parent or guardian
of a child or who is a taxpayer,
who has resided in the state for one
year and in this district for 80 days,
is eligible to vote. The qualifications
OF a voter on the oOnds, which are
to be presented at the same time, are
a little different. All those and only
those who have paid a property or
personal tax, and who have lived in
the state for one year and in this dis
trict for 80 days are allowed to vote.
While a man and his wife may both
vote for trustee, only the one who has
property in his or her own name may
vote on the bonds.
The OSborns are mourning the loss
of their beautiful collie dog, Joe, he
having died Saturday morning. He
was a play fellow for every chlld VINO
came on the place, and will be missed.
HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
Hugh Muldrow, who is assisting in
demolishing the old Bethel church,
barely escaped death. The timbers
above the ceiling were found to be
very heavy, and it was a problem to
dislodge them, and get them to the
ground IN safety. Mr. MuldroW was
working on the timbers on the south
side of the wall, while others were
prying them up on the north side.
Suddenly three began to slip at once
and pushed Mr. Muldrow from the
edge of the wall. Perceiving in a
flash that if he fell the fifteen feet
below with those heavy timbrs upon
him, he would have hardly a chance of
life, he gave a mighty swing to one
side as he went over the edge, and
caught the chimney by one hand
where he was able to hold himself
until one of his comrades on the
work could seize him by the hand and
help him up.
Another close shave was that of
MI Sevringhaus, when a bull chased
failed to get him. He suffered the
loss OF a good coat, however, the
back being torn to shreds by the
wires
T. 7. Fcrman, with his two sons,
James and Henry, went to the river
fishing Saturday afternoon, and were
having a jolly time, when James,
thinking he had a bite, jerked his
line with great force, and the hook
caught in Henry's cheek. They got the
hook out right away, but Sunday night
Henry had fever and Monday morn
ing his father took him to a doctor,
scnool though much improved.
RETURNS TO EAST
Mr. ETnmerson, who has Ceen visit
ing his sister, Mrs. Perkins, for the
past two months, has returned to
his home in New England. Although
he was SO years old, he was MOI e
active than many men 20 years
Younger, and he found his visit here
full of interest.
Recently the Richmond family pur-
chased a dog for twenty-five cents,
and the children found great pleasure
in playing with him until he bit one
of them. Fearing rabies, Mr.. Rich
mond killed the dog and paid $40 tc

signs of rabies.
