Reevie Frank left by auto Wednes-
day for Waterville on business. Mr..
FRANK Will probably go back into the
automobile business now that the war
is over He has had much experience
IN that line, and did very flourish
ing business until the manufacture of
cars was cut down so that the fac

complete garage in town at an early

near H. J. Schwenne's ranch, a short
distance south of town, and the travel
ers were severely shaken up, Mr..
McKinna especially suffering from a
dislocated collar bone. Mr.. Schwenne

before Judge Neal and was sentenced
to the Monroe reformatory from two
to fifteen years. Lots of people have
from time to time in the past gathered
I'D a lot of misery from stealing cat
tie and horses in this county, but Mr..

time that the appropriation OF mules
has given a resident free transporta-
ton to Monroe.

Tho residents of Oroville and vicin-
itv may consider themselves eXcee"-
inelv fortunate in the fact that no
fataI;ties have resulted during the
nrovalence of the influenza consider
ing that upward of 200 cases nave
baen treated by resident physicians
In vast majority of instances 'he
cases have been light, the pa'iehts
escaping pneumonia, which 50 re
orentlv follows. or is the result o.
;nauenza There has been one death
from pneumonia, but the victim came
here from a distance and his case
nos homeless at the time OF MS ar
rival. The disease is far from peins
eradicated, as new cases are reported
every day or two. We trust that the
GOOD fortune that has so far gusrueo
OR neople will continue until lhe
onidemic entirely disappears.
