OF a rather informal character, and ev-
identity do not come under the head of

| A wedding party Of six came over
from Milan Tuesday and stopped at
the Parcels House, where a splendid
dinner lad been specially prepared in
accordance with orders received in ad.
vance.
The party consisted of Mr.. H. T.
Knight and Miss Mamie Tunnel. w.
Witter and wife, DR.. c. d. Henry and
sister, Miss Matte Henry,
Mrs. Nettie Pease Fox, the noted
spiritualistic lecturer, cane down fro m
Ottumwa to perform the interesting
ceremony. AS none of our citizens
were present and the party departed
Tuesday evening we can only infer
that the occasion passed off happily.
We understand that Mr.. Knight, of
Milan, and Miss Tunnel, of Trenton,
were the contracting parties. Mr..
Knight is a prominent and highly
respected business man and citizen Of
Milan and the Graphic takes the liber-
ty Of offering its::congratulations. Mrs
Fox. the officiating minister, returned
to Ottumwa Wednesday morning.

Broke jail.
Wednesdays Daily.
Our sheriff awakened this morningto
meet with disagreeable surprise.
The Jail birds, of which there were
three had flown during the wee small
hours after midnight.
The prisoners had priced up the iron
floor in one of the cells on the north
side of the building and tunneled out
the foundation near the north
west corner ofthe building.
The three prisoners in confinement
were Joseph Johnson, Moses Hughes,
and Thomas Howard. The two for
mer were the parties arrested for
robblng Claypool of$3oo in the west
part of this county. The other one is
The young man arrested for stealing
money from DR.. Sanders at Willard
a notice of which appeared in our last
issue. Our jail is not by any means a
safe or suitable place to confine dam
gerous or desperate characters. 1t
has been condemned several times
and it should be either repaired or re-
built. |
All the above prisoners were pretty
sure of longer Or shorter term in the :
and hence were not slow
to take advantage Of their surround
ngs to effect an escape.
