Dr. William Phy, who arrived in the city a few days from Union, has opened handsome offices in the Lyndale block. Dr. Phy intends to locate permanently in Baker as it affords a larger field for the practice of his profession. He has an enviable reputation in Union as a most successful physician and surgeon. As his practice was extensive, extending to all sections in the country, a large part of it will still come to him in this city. Dr. Phy graduated at the head of his class in Kansas City, carrying off a handsome gold medal. After grdauation, the class was reorganized, and Dr. Phy was unanimously chosen its president for life. Although leaving a lucrative practice in Union, Dr. Phy will not regret casting his lot in the growing city of Baker, where his field of usefulness will be largely increased. He is thoroughly equipped to do either surgical and medical work and is emiently successful in both. A thorough gentleman at all times, his rise to the head of profession in Baker will doubtless be rapid. - Not Implicated. In the published report of one periodical brawls happening at Haines a short time ago the inference might have been drawn that Guy Savage was a party to taking #30 from the barkeeper at Bud Miller's saloon. Mr. Savage was in the crowd but the statement is made and vouched for that mr. Savage was no party to the money transaction. Mr. Savage is said to sustain a reputation in Haines as an honorable man and his acts have always been above reproch. - Presbyterian Services Rev. Bell still being unable to leave his room there will be no preaching services at the Presbyterian church this moring. However, Rev. James Byers, of the Presbyterian church of Sumpter, will conduct an Easter and song service in the evening at 7:30 p.m. Appropriate music has been prepared.
