Last Friday the highly incensed and
badly scared father of Kathrina Lehn
appeared at the Probate Judges Office
and sWOre out a writ Of habeas corpus
for the aforesaid Kathrina to secure her
from one John Mandery. The Sheriff
found the young lady at her fathers
house, which, Of course, was all that
was necessary. On Saturday morning
the girl came to town and complained
Of i'll treatment from her father. After
wards the author of this domestic breeze
and lastly the father arrived in town
and as a compromise the young couple
were married. Surely this is a case
where only the fair deserve the brave.

was brought in who had been suffering from
a severe case of typhoid fever He had re-
covered his health, but his mind was not in
the normal condition. He imagined that IA
watch had got into his head, and that he was
bothered by hearing the ticking of the time
piece.
AT the asylum that day was a sleight-of-

ance ut tine asylum that evening, such little
embellishments were frequently given for the
amusement of the patients The sleight-of-

permission TO take the imaginary watch from
the head Of the new patient He went up to
the patient and asked all sorts of que Cons
about his idea Of the watch, and found that
the patient represented it as n gold hunting
c.lse affair. With this Information he made
:, slight incision in the scalp of the patients
head and apparently drew therefrom IA gold

THE patient appeared relieved at once
tie said that he no longer heard the noise and
the watch was gone. He was cured then and

the string 10 his teeth. That's a good way
