Bolton, Ten, June "a
The day opened fair and clear and,
with the exception of it being fear
fully hot. the weather has been all
that could have been desired. The
early train from Lampasas brought in
hundred or more visitors. About
$50 a. M. special from Temple
brought over the fire department and
numerous other citizens. In addition
to the arrivals by train people
came in from The country by
every conceivable kind Of con-
veyance. BY 10 a. IN. the city was
crowded, anu all around the square the
people were packed as thick as they
could be. Available places for viewing
the line of march and the ceremony

cessiOn formed at Masonic hall in the
following order: Waco cornet band,
Temple base ball club, Bolton base bali
club, Temple fire company, Bolton fire
company, officers of the grand lodge
and the Bolton aud visiting
Masonic bodies. The procession then
marched north On East to Linden
street, west on Linden to Main and to
the square, and formed in hollow
square around the northeast corner of
the courthouse. The cornerstone
being ready, the following articles
were deposited in it: List of state,
county and city officers; list con-
tanning names of the Bolton bar, of the
officers and members of the Masonic
lodges of Bolton; copies of the Bolton
Journal. Bolton Reporter and Fort

HOW TO GET A WIFE.
The Novel Way Adopted by an Irish
man.

The Novel Way Adopted by an Irish
man.
A correspondent Of the London Neacs
sent the following from Dublin: To-day,
before the Master of the Rolls, sitting as
Vacation Judge, an application was made
to admit to bail man named Myles Ryan,
at present confined in Limerick lail,
charged with having feloniously taken
away and detained against her will one
Mary Hayes, with intent to force the said
Mary Hayes to marry him. The affidavit
OF Mary Hayes was to the effect that she
remembered party of men coming to her
fathers house at GOrtnahoOia on Sunday
night, May Is, about O'Clock. She was
in the kitchen. Six men came into
the house. They were more or
less disguised. Some of them said:
''Heads downp' and struck their
guns on the floor. Michael Carroll was
OF the men. They asked her father where
his daughter was. He said: s'What was
that to them, and that they were to mind
what they were about. A shot was fired,
and a couple Of men caught hold Of her.
Her father caught hold of her, and then a
second shot was fired. She was dragged
out OF the house without shawl or a hat.
she saw cart and a gray horse and a
man named Ryan, jobber, was standing
by it. She shouted out and resisted, but
to no purpose. She was put in cart,
and Pat Ryan drove the cart part OF the
way. When she was drawn a mile from
the house, Myles Ryan and other men
We're on the road walking with the cart.
Myles Ryan got sinto the cart once.
he was not with the cart until she was
taken ou: of it. About mile from
Edmund Buckeyes house, which
was about fourteen miles from
her fathers, one of the men
pointed to Myles Ryan and said: ''Did
she not like him." She said she would
have none of them. He said: "Would
she not marry Ryan?" and she said she
would not. They knocked at Buckeyes
and told him: "Here's girl" None of
the men went in. Myles Ryan asked her
to marry him. There was nothing often
sive said or done to her on that occasion.
1t was urged by the solicitor on the prs-
oner's behalf that the whole matter was a
joke, and that no harm had been done to
the girl. The application to admit to bail
was opposed by the crown. The Master
of the Rolls said it was impossible that he
should admit this man to bail. He
always looked on such charges in this
way: What would anyone think of a
party of fellows coming into his house
at night, firing shots and pointing a re-
VOlNer, and dragging a girl out of a house
for the purpose OF compelling her to
marry someone. The charge was an ex-
ceedingly grave one, and in reference to
which he could only accept bail il he
were perfectly certain the man would be
there to stand his trial. The circum-
stances proved conclusively to him that
the prisoner would levant il he put any
rule Of bail on him, which would be
merely illusory. He should refuse the
application.
