I’.on’t cry. There’s no reason, and

Me Decided to Return
Mr. Geo. Voss, who started on:
on Tuesday morning with Deputy
Marshal Brown, in charge of an in
sane patient, Roy Ilougham, who
is being taken to the Mt. Tabor
sanitarium, returned to Knik after
having gone about eleven miles.
The reason for his return was that
it being the first trip out with his
dogs this season t]iey were not in
travelling condition and it was seen
that they would not be able to make
the trip to Seward in good shape,
therefore it was thought best to re
turn to Knik and make other ar
rangements. Marshal Brown se
cured the Howard team and with
Alex Frasier driving the team
another start was made on Wednes
day morning and it is probable that
the trip will be made without fur
ther delay.
interesting Services
The Social hall was well filled oi
Sunday evening last and the ser
vices much enjoyed by those pres
ent. Rev. Howard delivered an in
terestiag sermon and the musica
program was complete. Mr. How
ard Wilmoth, assisted by Mrs. Wil
moth, gave by request, a violin se
lection entitled “Berceuse,” fron
Joey land. Mrs. Jenks sang a sole
and Miss Longmire gave a reading,
j Public interest is increasing in these
meetings as shown by the attend
ance being larger each week.
