Salina can't get along without having some
excitement occasionally. On Monday last
crazy fellow by the name OF Carter. from Rice
county, came charging down Santa Fe, yelling
chaos and making chaos out of the pedes-
TRANS who happened to BE- in his way. He was
finally arrested in front OF Sargent & Williams
store and Immediately taken 10 the Jail. He
had been found naked out on the prairie, sew
cral miles south of town, and had amused
himself in shooting with revolver at VINO

Saline county came to the conclusion that the
marriage relations were not exactly what the:

the consequence. During the two long years
Which followed the parties hereto" estranc-

transpire which would again bind them as with
hooks OF steel that = in natures infinite book

the "ripencss made itself visible in a startling
degree. and the avalanche of second-lovc rolled
back upon them, crushing the black and fright

the odur laden air was swec:cr than the per

magistrate was summoned. And a they glanc-
ed down into the frightful chasm which had
been so successfully bridged, they sliuddcrcd
that their lives were so nearly lost. Again the
marriage vows were solemnly taken and Vol

The assessors convened. aud after some Gel'ber-
