NEW LICENSES
NO CONCERN
OF PUBLIC

James A. Howell, deputy county as
SCISSOR, reported yesterday that the
total of 1928 license applications for
the day would not exceed 20 and that
he had little hope that many would
apply before the last week of the
month.
Howell pointed out again that on
March 1 beyond doubt, the penalty
of the double fee will be exacted for
those who have not yet secured their
plates at that time Howell said that
it appeared to be a common human
weakness to postpone that sort of
thing as long as possible and that he
expected more applications during the
last week than have been received so
far altogether.
Howell has turned the office work
here over to an assistant and is out
assessing property in the district for
taxation. He said yesterday that

MISS NISHAN OUT
OF HOSPITAL, BUT
NOT OVER INJURIES

Albert Gillon. of 1856 Eighth
street, returned to his home in
Douglas yesterday from Long Beach,
Calif., to where he had been called
a week ago because of the tragedy
which cost the life Of his mother
in-Iaw, Mrs. Lily Nishan, and seri-
ously injured his sister-in-law, Miss
Isabelle Nishan. Mrs. Gillon re-
mained with her sister for another
week on so.
Miss Nishan, who had been in the
hospital until Sunday, was re-
moved to her home and Mr. Gillon
reports her to be getting over her
injuries as rapidly as could be hoped
for, considering the nervous shock
that was her lot in the death Of
her mother. They were run down
by an automobile driven by Major
r. G. McGlone, whom the coroner's
jury held guilty OF negligence in
causing the accident.
Mr. Gillon will return to his desk
at the Southern Pacific railway
offices today.

of Douglas, and Rev. Christian All
brecht of BisDee, and Miss Grace
lone Gobel, of the Y. w. G. A, and

which it has given to all church
activities during the year 1927, and
that we record our special thanks

given the churches in their revival
campaigns.
''It is the sense OF this associa-
tion that few, if amy, daily papers
are more generous in opening their
columns to the churches than The
Douglas Daily Dispatch"
