The little child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Miles Hunter is at the local hospital
in a very precarious condition, as a
result of a ruptured appendix and
peritonits. The little one was oper-
ated on Thursday evening, and while
it appears to be holding its own, this
condition in a child so small is very
serious, indeed, and it will be nothing
Short of a miracle if it RECEIVERS. The
distraught parents are making a
valiant fight to bring the little one
through and the doctors are doing all
in their power.

when Mrs. Lewis was bound and gag
ged by three men who went through
the house, securing $1,000 in securi-
ties. This bond was able to be traced
because of its number. duplicates OF
which had been furnished the banks
by Mr.. Lewis, who had made a copy
of the numbers when he purchased the
bonds.
Detective Sergeants Long and HUFF

difficult to race back to the person

my husband, John B. Egan. who died
In France, October Gath, 1918.
He little thought when leaving home
That he would ne'er return
That death so soon would part US
And leave us here to mourn.
Could he but raise his dying head
To bid a last farewell
The blow would not have been SO bad
On those he loved so well.
He is gone. but not forgotten
Never shall his memoir fade.
Loving thoughts shall always linger
Around the grave where he Is laid.
