Mr. Stein agreed to pay for the damage done, however. People should be very careful about backing up against these posts, in fact, they should avoid them altogether, as they are placed at the outer edge of the walk where anything extending back of the auto wheels is sure to strike them. i Don Hoover, youngest son of Exsheriff W.

It is sincerely hoped that the trouble may be cured by the Chicago specialist. Mrs. Hoover went up to Chicago Monday to be with him when he was operated on that day.
