Escanaba. Mich. March 10.-The
eyes of pretty Evelyn Lyons, who has
fought the highest temperature in the
records of medicine for the past three
weeks, weakened tonight.
Pages of a book, which she at
tempted to read, became blurred, and
she was forced to lay it aside.

The end is a matter of doubt. In
previous cases ailments similar to
hers have proven fatal. l can only
hope"
The high temperature of Miss
Lyons tonight was directly due to her
refusal to remain in bed today, DIR.
Defnet said.
"She won't remain quiet" he said.
Miss Lyons, kept on liquid diet
and ordered TO remain in bed, the
minute she has the opportunity,
jumps up and roams about the
house.
The "fever girl" complained of
pains in her head and blurred vision,
but was apparently as gay as ever.
Miss Lyons is Of a highely ner-
vous and excitable temperament.
Defnet declared. "Outside of this she
is perfectly normal. Before her i'll
ness she had normal temperature.
III course her present temperature
is extremely abnormal. / have never

caused by a tumor on or near the

The ordinary thermometer regis

When her temperature ran above this
figure l would have to estimate the
temperature by guaging the force with
which the thermometer broke"
Defnet has received scores of let
ters from physicians in many parts
of the country, asking for details of
the case and requesting an opportunity
to examine the patient. He declared
he was perfectly willing to have any
reputable physician visit Miss Lyons.

STATE OFFERS BOUNTY
FOR TRAPPED RABBITS
One Dollar Each Will Be Paid
By Game Wardens

The State Game Department is of
fering the same proposition as last
year with regard to the trapping of
cotton tail rabbits. For each rabbit
trapped during the month of Deem
Der in the covers of this State, this
department will reimburse the claim
ant with the sum of S100. The rab-
bits should be trapped during that
month and presented to the District
Deputy Game Warden in the county
in which they We're caught within a
few days after January /, 1924. Rab-
bits trapped after that time will be
in violation Of the game laws and the
offender will be prosecuted according
to law.
Each and every District Deputy
Game Warden in the State has been
instructed by the department to &C
cept the rabbits and pay the claimant
SL00 each. The rabbits will then be
liberated in sections of the county
where they are reported to be scarce,
but not q single rabbit will be trans
ported from one county to another.
This proposition is only effective
from now until the close Of the pres
ent upland game season, which is Jan
uary l, 1924.

ELLIOTT c. HARVEY DEAD
AS A RESULT OF INJURIES
His Funeral Occurred From His
Late Home Last Sunday
Afternoon

As result of injuries receivd one
day recently which produced paraly-
sis, Hon. Elliott c. Harvey, member
elect of the incoming Legislature,
died at his home in Ryan's Glade on
Thursday night, his funeral taking
place from his late home Sunday af-
ternoon with interment in the Oak
Grove cemetery, near his residence.
The deceased was the eldest son of
the late Benz. F. Harvey and Mrs.
Tena Harvey and was aged 55 years,
9 months and p days. He united with
the NJ. E. church q quarter of CEN
fury ago. He was a liberal supporter
Of the Oak Grove chapel and was
brother of the late Rev. John S. Har-
vey.
Twenty years ago he was married
to Miss Laura Aronhalt and is sur
vived by his wife and two children,
Warren, aged IS years, and Christina,
a daughter, ten years old. He is also
survived by his mother and one
brother.
Mr.. Harveys funeral was conducted
by his pastor, Rev. Henderson. The
services were held in the home of the
deceased and were largely attended
by neighbors and friends. The pail
bearers were selected from among the
members of the Gormania lodge K of
P, the Patrons of Husbandry and the
present and former members of the
Maryland Legislature, among the lat
ter being Senator John W. McCul-
Tough. former Senator II. J. Speicher,
r. A C. Howard, A. D. Naylor, c. n.
McIntire and Albert Markley.
Many extremely handsome floral
pieces were piled about the casket
containing the remains of the deceas-
ed, which evidenced to a slight de-
gree the esteem il which he was held
by his neighbors and friends.
In the death of Mr.. Harvey a va
cancy in the membership of the
House of Delegates from this county
has been caused. While the law gov
erning this condition is rather ex-
plicit and directs the Governor to is
sue a proclamation for a special cleo
ton, there seems to be no demand on
the part of the citizens of the county
for such an election and in all proba-
bility no election will follow.

TREE FOR OAKLAND
To Be Erected On The Court
House Lawn

An immense community Christmas
tree, donated by Mr.. John o. Thayer,
of Oakland, is to be erected on the
Court House lawn in Oakland and will
be ablaze with electric lights on the
night of Christmas. The electrical

tree upon the site selected for it.
Every person, man, woman and
child of the community will be well
coined and is urgd to be present and
take part and make this first commu-
nifty tree a great success.
The community Christmas tree had
its inception a number of years ago
when only the larger cities adopted it..
Since that time interest has been
taken in the matter by the smaller
towns with the result that after ev-
cry family in community has en-
joyed their family tree they are ready
to Join around this other larger fam
lily tree and help sing familiar Christ
mas carols. Oakland people will have
an opportunity to participate in the
singing of these six well known and
familiar carols:
Joy to the World 80 Come, All
We Faithful" "Silent Night, Holy
might" at Came Upon the Midnight
Clear" 90, Little Town Of Bethle-
hem," "Hark, the Herald Angels
Sing"
Ali are asked at seven o'clock on
Christmas night (unless a blizzard is
raging, and then it will be postponed
until Wednesday night at the same
hour). Show your community spirit
for this is under the auspices Of the
Oakland Civic Club, an organization
with the reputation of having started
many worthy projects in this town
and though this is an old idea in other
places, it is new one here and thru
the courtesy of the West Maryland
Power Company and Mr.. John O..
Thayer, as stated above, the tree will
be placed and ready to shine for all
on Christmas night.
Thus the public will have an oppor-
tunity to show it's appreciation of
their efforts and those Of the Civic
Club by being present and in trying
to bring all together in a community
gathering at a time of all times when
we can say, peace on earth, goodwill
