1t is reported In johnson county
that II the McKennon-Cu Cunningham
difficulty had occurred in this county
that McKennon would have been lynch.
cd. The statement Is entirely without
| foundation and was started, il at ali
by some one whose regard for law and
order is quite too wanton. Our citizens
deeply deplore the affair and trust the
J parties to it will allow the case to rest
where it is.
| We are informed that certain per,
sons are in the habit of gathering flow
ers from the shrubbery in the cemetery
and worse still some parties are charg.
ed with removing shrubbery planted by
tender hands over the graves of loved
ones and appropiating the same to their
own use. Such vandalism calls for the
loudest condemnation and should be
stopped by suit for trespass if milder
means are Intellectual.
A dispatch from Grand Rapids,
| Mich, states that J. X. Perriman, for
merly of this place, is under arrest for
bigamy, having married Miss Cox OF
that city. 1t will be remembered that
Perriman deserted his wife aud son
here few years ago, greatly to their
advantage, too. IL must be admitted, and
has since led wild and reckless life.
He now claims to be insane and inno-
cent of intentional wrong doing.

oven we guarantee first-class bread.

uniforms to brass or silver cornet bands
and get their services upon public occa-

honor to the town.
