Patrick Wood, who came to Benton Tor
medical attendance in the matter OF q throat
disease Of long standing, set out last Wednes-
day to return. The cold was intense, and q
heavy fog so obscured the view that he wan
dered off the road and was lost. He was
obliged to camp and make the best or the
situation, but the best was bad, for the gentle
man was severely frozen before he was
found, and has been laid up ever since. His
injuries are not supposed to be permanent.

On Sunday evening, at 7 O'Clock, at the
Catholic Church, came off the wedding of
Mr.. r. Sullivan and Mrs. Mary Savage. The
bride and groom were escorted to the church
by q number of their friends, with Mr. John
F. Murphy and Mrs. Ed. Dunno in the 7obe OF
principal bridesmaid and groomsman. A
large number Of people witnessed the cere-
mony. The Rev. Father Camp officiated,
and united the couple with the impressive
and magnificent service of the Catholic
Church. After the ceremony the party re-
turned to the Choteau House, where Mr.. and
Mrs. Sullivan gave a reception and received
the congratulations of their friends and a
number of fine presents. The festivities OF
the occasion were concluded by q supper, 10
which were invited their intimate friends.
All unite in extending to the couple good
wishes for a happy future.
The mystery of that neat and convenient
little brick house which was recently built
by Mr.. r. s. Price was solved by the appear
ance in our sanctum, on Wednesday, OF a
basket of champagne and a very nice cake,
accompanied by a neat piece of stationery
bearing the following legend:
ssCompliments of Mr.. and Mrs. r. S. Price
to The RIVER PRESS"
The champagne was extra dry, and so was
the RIVER PREss-its editorial corps was, we
mean-anG we drank many times to a happy
future for the couple, and to the fulfllment
of all the pleasant anticipations which we are
sure the builder of the little cottage INDUCED
in, even when he was telling US that fable
about putting it up as a commercial specula-
ton purely.
Mr.. Price was formerly a resident or Da-
venport, Iowa, but has identified himself
with the future of Montana, by placing his
business interests here. The lady, Miss Kate
Hussey, is from independence, Iowa, and
came as far as Ogden, where she was met by
Mr.. Price, and where the marriage ceremony
was performed. "Here's your goot healt
und your family's goot healt, und may you
all live long und prosper"

the actions of the Democratic Central Com
mittee Of Choteau county, held their final
meeting on last Satuaduy evening. There
was no quorum present, but it was the opin-
ion of those present-in fact, the whole COM
mittee are unanimous in stating that all the
Democratic tickets were distributed to the
several precincts of the county in time for
use; that the campaign fund was expended
wholly in the interest Of the party and can
didates; that a few members of the Cen
trail Committee-notably the secretary, MI.
Murphy, and the chairman, Mr. Senieur-
performed about all the work, for which
they deserve the thanks and praise Of the
party, and particularly Of the candidates, in
did not do its duty, either to itself or to the
party. The queries Of the Record and its
structures on the Committee were certainly
based upon public rumors and talk, but upon
investigation the rumors and talk proved to
in nearly every instance without foundation
in fact.
The Investigation Committee recommend
that hereafter none but men who will work
in the interest Of the whole ticket be ap
pointed that candidates for office be exclud-
ed from the Central Committee, and that
good men from each section of the county be
represented thereon.
There was a great deal Of matter purely
personal to individuals brought before the
committee, but for obvious reasons was en-
tirely excluded. The committee also strong
" recommend to the next Democratic Con-
yention the necessity OF nominating only
men on their ticket who are in perfect har-
mony with each other, and who will work
and pull together for the general interest Of
the ticket.
The Central Democratic Committee of
Choteau county consist Of Gus oenieur, chair
man, W. 5. Conway, Jos. a. Baker, Ii. A.
Kennerly, &c Adams, John W. Tattan and
John T. Murphy, secretary.
