stead southeast of here a num-
Der OF years ago. About seven
months ago he was afflicted
with rheumatism which spread
to the muscles of his hands and
limbs practically paralyzing
them.
His wife has never resided
here and his son being a SOL
der in the late war, during the
first part of his illness he was
taken care of by friends. About
two weeks ago the Red Gross
ladies of this city had him TAX

hoping he might be helped by
constant care and nursing. His
son has the sympathy of the
community.

HEAD OF STOCK KILLED

Bainville Tribune: 4 head-on
collision between stock train
and a west bound freight took
place in the local yards this
morning about four o'clock and
traffic has been at a complete
standstill for several hours, or
until the debris can be removed
so that trains can pass. The ne
stock train was standing still
when the freight ran into It and
on that account the sI!sShun
was not what it otherwise would
have been had they both been
moving.
Three cars were derailed and
about twenty head OF cattle
were killed the train crew and
passengers escaped with a
SLIGHT shaking up and aside
from this no particular injury
was done.
