Rather Enjoys His Notoriety.

w
HAMPTON. Va, February IA. 1890.
The marriage of Mrs. McCrea and Doug
las Green is the one subject Of conveIsa-
ton here, eclipsing all other topics. This
is due TO the fact of the secrecy of the
affair, the social standing Of the contract
ing parties. and the fact Of the ceremony
having been performed by colored man.
The colored people eagerly discuss the
affair. merely because a man OF their own
race figures very conspicuously in it, and
that the couple were white. Elder Shorts,
who is brought into sudden prominence. is
a tall. well-made. and very dark man, is
pastor of the Second Baptist church, and
is said 10 be a good talker.
ENJOYS HIS NOToRIETY.
He was quite uneasy just after the oc-
currence. as it seemed to attract such uni
versal notice, and went to see Clerk Booker
about it, but finding he had done nothing
wrong he rather enjoys the notoriety he
has obtained. Soon after the marriage
Shorts went to Mathews county and re-
mained nearly week.

and able presentation of the merits
of the case from the standpoint of the de-
fence. Colonel Thomas N. Williams, the
great criminal iurist of Lynchburg, fol-
lowed in an argument of clear logic and a
strong argumentative review of the evil
dence in detail. The Commonwealth's At

the law points and the case wa. given to
the jury. The general opinion Of the peo-
pie who followed this case is that the yer-

quantity, until we were very near the
Nez Perez trail. Getting ANIMALS through
this region was not AN easy matter, for
the timuer 10 the numerous burnt regions
had obilteratcd the CID trail aud blocked
the way somewhat, giving something like
spice to the trip. aud adding strength to
the language; yet every body was in good
spirits, and no common obstacles can In
tertere with our progress.
From the Nez Perez trail We have been
taking in the top of the range by going
into the heads of The large .ulclies and
working back and forth along the divide
from camp.
Game is plentiful. especially deer, elk
and goats, with occasional bear lndica
tions, aud some of the party have seen
one or two.
The horses stand the work we'll, and
all hands are we'll and cheerful.
We can't tell when We will get bach
to Ketchum, but probably not before thu
first OF October.
Yours truly RoBT. WHEELING.
