OLD BELL AGAIN RINGS

The Catholic Church now has a bell. The ceremony connected with it's installation took place last week, the dedication being made by Rev. Father Gallant, of Skagway. The bell is one with a history. It was originally installed in Wrangell by Rev. Father Altorf some time after the organization of the first Catho- lie Church here in 1897. During the Nineties no priest was located here and for a time work of the Catholic Church was practically abandoned in Wrangell. It was during this time that the Catholic bell was talk en to Juneau. Now, after more than 20 years, it has been returned to Wrangell, and it's sweet tones are recognized by the old times.-i Wrangell Sentinel.
