FORMER RESIDENT IS DANGEROUSLY ILL

O. C. Halstead I* In Critical Condition at Hi* Home In Wyoming. O. C. Halstead, formerly of Newton township, this county, but now a resident of Worland, Wyoming, is in very critical condition and it is feared that he can not recover. His son, Roscoe, left for Worland on the 10:36 train this morning. Mr. Halstead had been sick for a short time but a letter received by his brother, Everett, a day o» so ago in his own hand writing, stated that he was getting along very nicely. Tuesday evening a message was received stating that he had had a relapse and that the worst might be expected. He is afflicted with some kind of fever induced by caring for his brother, Sanford Halstead, who had just recovered from the spotted fever, a disease caused by the bite of a mountain tick.
