Brubaker was quickly summoned, and found him al most pulseless, greatly fearing he would pass away; but happily, through rub bing and the use of medicine, restored him to consciousness and in duo time relief from the excessive pain. The doctor says it whs a close call for Mur ray, for a delay of a few minutes more of proper attention would certainly have resulted fatal. . At about five o'clock lu the evening of said day he was carried on a couch to his home in the west ward by a del egutlon of Modern Woodmen, of which organization he is a worthy member. He is said to be improving and his many friends hope he may soon be able to be out again. SMALL-POX SCARE. Supposed Case at Lewistown Turns Oat to be Measles.
