L. Demere, trader for the Flathead Indians,
with store at st. Ignatius, also at Arlee,

A gentleman who knows the parties well
called the attention OF the writer to a we'll
dressed couple who alighted from the cars
at Avon on Friday evening, passed through
the depot and boarded the Buffalo train.
They were husband and wife. Each had
lost the right arm at the shoulder. Their
romantic story is that a year ago in a rail
road accident each met with their misfort-
une, and while being cared for at a farm
house near the scene OF the disaster fell in
love with each other, and are now on their
wedding trip.-Rochester Democrat.
