dam, they fell in with a three days' storm.
which did considerable damage on board
ship, knocking things around, and for a
considerable period the waves were so
furious that the big ship stepped trying
to make headway. Several people were
injured in trying to walk about, All
were greatly relieved when the storm
ceased, and the good ship was proceeding
again on her way as usual. This was Mr.
Gilbert's first extended vacation trip in
about fifteen years, and he returns greatly

Found a Skeleton in a Cellar.
Home workmen found a skeleton in the
collar of a house owned by J. I). Ennis on

it was claimed had been murdered. it
was afterwards learned that the skeleton,
in all probability, belonged to a physician
who had formerly occupied the house and
who had probably disposed of the skele-
ton by burying it in the cellar. Coroner
.Iioten was notified and he took charge of
the box containing the find.
