Mrs. Bonger was raised by Mr. and Mrs. Battleday. Paul Worland, who for some time las been employed by the Hopkins Transfer Line, left Sunday evening for Denver, Colo.

Monticello, 111., is in a state of terror as a result of the escape of a large lioness from a circus which showed in Champaign about six weeks ago.

Nearly one thousand armed men assembled at the Allerton estate, where the animal has appeared several times. But three hundred were picked and they were provide dwith high power rifles. The circus has offered SSOO reward for the capture of the animal.
