Monday undergone serious opera
tion at the Bethesda hospital, Zanes-
vile, which disclosed that the right
end of his stomach had closed. For
a time he seemed to be doing as
well as could be expected consider
ing the nature of the operation,
however on Thursday he began to
fail and continued to declinehrapid-
1y until death resulted Saturday

Deerfield township and was born

life was spent in farming, and was
quite successful and prosperous.

take life easier he moved from his
farm near Morganville to the T. E.
Dunaington property in Malta
which he purchased. but still retain
ed his farm. His wife who was Jen-
ME Ciendenon, survives, also one
son, Mr.. Donald Mccall of the
home. One son died in infancy. He
is survived by two brothers, Mr..
John Mccall of New Concord, and
Alexander of this place, and the
following sisters: Mrs. Jennie Glass
of Malta; Mrs. Agnes Younkin of
Malta township; Mrs. Jennie Smith
of Beloit. Wis, who is spending the
winter here; and Mrs. H. H. Huston
of Columbus. One brother, Thomas,
is deceased. Mr.. Mccall was a
good substantial citizen. He had
been member of Valley Lodge /.
O. 0. F., and an active member of

Miss Ethel Harper Burned

Miss Ethel Harper, waitress at
the sanatorium, was painfully, but
not seriously burned Wednesday
morning. She was setting the tables
and in passing an open stove her
dress caught fire and was almost
burned off from her back. AS soon
as she discovered her clothes were
ablaze she ran to the kitchen, and
in attempting to put out the fire
two others received burns about the
hands. Miss Harper's screams
brought Supt. H. T. Phillips to her
aid, who grabbed "Pyrene" ex-
tinguisher, and in very short order
the flames were out. Mr.. Phillips
believes that if it had not been for
the Pyrene extinguisher, she would
have been fatally burned.

Influenza or Grip Prevalent

We note that in various parts Of

fluenZa, and doctors report num-

seems to be in a mild form the doc

ease or symptoms of it, to take the
best of care of themselves. The
VIM. Thomas family of seven mem
bers who live on the Clyde Kincaid
place are all down with it. While
there are no pronounced cases of
pneumonia developed, there seems
to be a marked tendency to bron-
chitis, which should be closely
watched, and treated, lest pneu-
monia sets in.
