RUN AWAY.

A few days, ago three boys of this
city, firing of the restraint Of home,
concluded they would sail out on
the broad sea Of life, make name
and carve out fortune for them
selves. They planned the scheme
with some care, and made their prep
arations with deliberation. The re-
alities of life were what tho young
roosters sighed for, and although the
oldest was only about IL years ofage,
Ottumwa was too slow for them.
They bought some bread, cold meats,
and other cdibles, pooled their cash,
elected a treasurer, and started one
afternoon on foot for Agency City,
at which place one of the party took
home sick, and concluded to return.
The treasurer refunded all the mon
ey belonging to this stakeholder,
with which he bought ticket to OF
tumwa. The other two then took
I passage on a hand car for Batavia
and from thence to Fairfield on a
freight train. At Fairfield another
of the wanderers got tired of the trip
and he too, called on the treasurer
for still another division of the cash
and returned. By some chance the
remaining lad of the original party
| fell in with another boy ut Fairfield
from this city and they concluded t.
carry out the programme. We un
dcrstand they got on board frcigh
car loaded witha large boiler int
which they crawled for conccalment
and started in short time afterwart
for Burlington, since which time W,
understand nothing has been hear'
4 from them.

Novel, Leap Yoar Party

Here's rich novelty for YOU in the
way the young ladies OF Atlanta

party. Possibly the publication of the

The parties are sevcrally called up j

Saa nsovy.

Sometime last fall q young man
from Missouri, by the name Of Harry
Cunningham, came to Moulton,claim-
ing his profession to be piano tuner.
During his stay here he became ac-
quainted with Miss Maggie King,
daughter of Rev. @. J. King, who
was giving music lessons at this place
and at Bloomfield. During the time
that Cunningham was here he became
the escort of Miss King to and from
Bloomfield. and during the course OF
time made love TO Miss King, repre-
senting himself to be single man,
against the wishes of her parents.
Miss King gave her hand in marriage
to Mr.. Cunningham, as is now re-
ported, and whether they were ever
married or not remains as yet a mys-
terry.
All attempts Oh the part Of the pa
rents ofthe girl TO find or hear of Tho
daughter proved in vain, and she was
given up as one torn from the fircsidt
Of Il once happy but now deserted
home.
The Record. from which we copy
says the lawful wife of Cunningham
was in Moulton on last Thursday
hunting her guilty lord, and left 70
St. Louis on the hunt for him.

long since, she was In this city and at-
tempted to negotiate $1,000 note
purporting to be signed by Senator
Harlan, and prominent citizen went
to the banks with her to introduce
her, but she failed to get the money
She, however, borrowed $25 or $50
from him for personal expenses, for
which she gave draft on a Des
Moines bank, and it was protested
for non-payment. The most charit.
able judgment that can be passed
upon her conduct, is that she is insane.
There was collision on the rail-
road track just opposite the X. = D.

Il seems that train in pulling out
oda side track, left brakeman to
close the switch which he did in good
shape and then started after the train
on run, going as fast as he could.
Jed. Barnes, who was going in an
opposite direction, stepped to one
side until the train passed, when he
stepped back on the track just in time
to be run into by the aforesaid brake
man.
The collision is said to have been

the brakeman about the same dis
lance on the other. Barnes carries
one eye in sling, and the brakeman
has retired on half pay until he can
get hat big enough to cover his
head and the cash over his eye heals
up. When the crank winder was
picked up he innocently inquired II
