Thursday Evening Band Coneert Drew Big Crowd.

There was a large crowd on the streets Thursday evening to enjoy the weekly band concert and some estimate that it was the largest crowd of the year. Almost 100 automobiles were standing on the streets within a block of the band stand. About twenty-five people were here from Francesville and there were autoes from other towns. Thtf*band discourses splendid music. Prof. Otto Braun, the instructor, has been in % very poor health for several months and has not been here since Decoration Day, and it is understood his condition is such as to cause considerable alarm. Some spinal trouble and lung trouble have almost got the best of him. It is possible that he will have to change climate to be benefited. His sickness is a matter of regret to all the band boys and to all who know him. John Healy Is leading the band during Prof. Braun’s absence.
