people who have been actively aligned

VIM. Malloy who has been en-
ployed on one of the Bidwell bridge
crews in South Dakota during the
past summer, returned to Hazelton
last week. 1t will be remembered
that it was generally rumored during
the summer that Mr.. M. had passed
in his checks. Like Mark Twain,
however, he states that the report
was grossly exaggerated, for he has
been in good health all the time, and
is still kicking. Nevertheless, the ru-
NOR was so common that other Haz-
elton folks who were working on a
different Bidwell crew only a few
miles distant knocked off work, put
on their Sunday buds, and were read
y to take in the Malloy funeral. At
the time the report first gained cred
ence, eastern dailies reported that a
stranger had been found dead at Red
field who appeared to be "Wm.' NAL
loy," and who appeared to reside in
Chicago. Mr.. MS wife and daugh-
ter are living in Chicago, and Hazel
ton people generally believed the dead
man to be Bill.
