St Charles: An effort to levy a special tax of four mills for a summer term of school brought out a big vote. The proposition was defeated. Jope? Munson was elected as trustee.

We desire to state that no tax was voted at St Charles nor was
any thought of for any purpose. This is injustice to one of the trustees over
there, who it was claimed wanted a tax for a summer school.

On Monday last the Sunday School went to the canyon for an outing and had a good time, a dance was given in the evening and two "small" boys from Paris, named Oakey and Lewis, came in and proved themselves smaller than was thought, for just before the dance closed they slipped away without paying for their tickets. We understand they boasted of what they were going to do but it was unknown to the manger, until after they had gone.
Geo Shepherd who came with the boys, proved himself a gentleman by paying for his dance.
Leslie Pugmire whose leg was broken some time ago, is now able to be put on crutches. Leonard Floyd and son Frank have returned from their Uintah trip where they went to try their luck in the land drawing of a recent date. Jas Knapp drew a lucky number, so remained and as he is an old soldier, he can soon "prove up."

A daughter was born to Mrs. Nels Harrup of St Charles Tuesday. Miss Libbie Young of St Charles who has been very ill with abscess of the groin, was dangerously ill Monday and Drs. Ashley and Poynter who were called for consultation, decided that an operation was necessary.
Accordingly on Monday evening a large quantity of pus was removed. The young lady rallied nicely after and there was hope that she would recover her health completely.

One day last week, as Mr. Niels Berggren, about 65 years of age, was walking peaceably along the street, he was pounced upon by a young man, Will Hill, about eighteen years of age, knocked down and beaten up considerably.
Three other young men sat in the buggy and watched what was being done, without interfering. It seems that there has been bad blood between the two for years and young Hill has threatened to lick Mr. Berggren as soon as he got "big" enough.

Dr. Hayward seems to be very busy these days. Sunday morning he made a hurry up trip to St Charles and brought Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Peterson a valentine, not one of these ugly insulting valentines we sometimes see, but a sweet little baby girl valentine.
