Sheriff Maginnis left for Minneapolis
Tuesday, taking with him the young man
Murphy who will be lodged in Jail at that
place for safe keeping. This sending
prisoners away Is an expensive piece of
business. as the fares of officer and prison

real name was Rooney, but as he wished,
for family reasons, to conceal his identity,
he gave an alias. When he left here he

Ninety eight and nehalf in the shade,
was the thermometriacl record :of yester-
day. Yes, it was rather warm, but with
the aid of clothes wringer, through which
an occasional tumble was taken, and by
improvising convenient ice chest as a

A notice elsewhere published announces
the marriage of Miss Julia, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Steadman, and Mr..
James Dennison, which occurred on
Thursday last. The high contracting par

Senator o. D. Conger, of Michigan, the
"great objector," and one of the leading
politicians of the country, was in town last
week and spent couple of days visiting
in this vicinity the guest of Mr.. II. G. Par

condition of things warrants it.

severance always wins and that this will
prove true in our case, as it has in others
at all times, we may be fully confident.
Luck is credited with what pluck earns,
and the lucky man in nine cases out of
every ten is the chup who has perseverance.
A small sized collision-a little one for o
cent-occurred in the railroad yard Mon
| day. As the train on the "Connemara
Central" was pulling into the depot, some
of the cars on one of the side tracks got a
push from an engine at work switching,
and ran down until they collided with the
incoming train at the switch. The head
freight car was somewhat demoralized and
the steps and braces were torn from the
baggage Car, but no harm was done other
than this.
A putting freight train on Monday
