ANOTHER RUNAWAY.

Sunday evening, while a great number
of people were enjoying the breezes on Col
lege hill and on the cars between here and
there, an accident occurred which came
near being a fatal one. A couple of young
people from FL Dorado were out driving
near Chisholm creek, when the team be-
came frightened by passing street car.
In making a short turn the buggy struck
a ditch and threw the man out, but did
not injure him but slightly. The girl then
showed her pluck and gathered up the
reinS, trying TO control the team, which
had by this time made their way into a
large field of sundowers The horses were
too badly frightened, however, and ran
around and around IN the field until the
girl guided them into an extra heavy
growth of high sunhowers and succeeded
in hating them. During this time the
man had been chasing about after the car
riage, yelling at the top of his voice.
When assistance reached the pluCky lady
she was found TO be very faint from the
excitement, but she was soon restored.
The buggy and harness was decidedly the
worse for the unusual usage.

ence he had with some of his own cattle

county that have died, and said he saved
them by treating them for sunstroke by the
liberal use OF ice and ice water on the base

same manner, said Mr.. Van Vinks, l have

SOMETHING NEW IN CHURCH MATTERS

About the beginning of the current year
Olivet Congregational church voted to sur
render the aid it was receiving from the
American Home Missionary society,
amounting to $500 per year, and to assume
the burden of self-support In the eyes of
many friends of the church in and out of
The city this was a move OF doubtful wis
dom, and there were many prophecies of
the failure of the experiment, as the
action of the church was called, The
society, however, continued to prosper,
and although the pastors salary was not
fixed at any given sum, the church which
eight months ago was paying at the rate
of but $500 a year, has now more than
trebled this amount and its con-
tributions continue to increase. During
the eight months the church has
also contributed between $40 and $50 to
outside benevolences. The policy of the
church is to depend solely on voluntary
contributions 1t holds no festivals or
sociables for raising money, solicits no
money from outsiders, and asks no pledges
from its own members.
1t has been for some time the intention
of the present pastor, Rev. r. L. Marsh to
go away for special study and bible work
as soon as the work of the church could
safely be left. Believing that that time
had come ne asked the church a week ago
for leave Of absence of two or three
years. The church asked for a week to
consider the matter, and on last Sunday
made proposition to allow their pastor
one-half his entire time off the field if he
would continue to serve them. The propO-
sition was accepted, and Mr.. Marsh will
for the present spend half his time in hold
ing bible institutes throughout the state
and prosecuting the special biblical study
which he contemplates.

ABANDONED.
An Unworthy Man Deserts his Familv-Jeal-
ousy Given as the Cause Of the Transaction.

A story comes from the West Side which
has caused considerable talk and stir
among the people on that side of the rag
| ing Arkansas. The story is the marriage
of an unworthy man to a beautiful and
| worthy young lady and later on the deser-
ton of her husband, leaving her destitute
| and broken hearted.
About IA months ago man named Mart
Sargent, married Miss Lula Marshall.
Sargent was an employe in the ice factory
and was considered a trusted man, al
though he was rather wild. The young
lady WAS girl of IS, beautiful brunette
who was we'll liked, and esteemed by all
who knew her. All went well the first
month or two when the husband
became extremely jealous of his young
wife. His jealousy drove him so far as
to lock the poor woman up, refusing to
furnish her clothes for fear she would
leave the house. She was compelled to
accept clothes from friendly and charita-
bic neighbors. Still she loved him. After
living together eight months they went TO
live with the girls parents, who are very
respectable and nice people. At times the
man would get himself into a paroxysm
Of rage when he would use the most
abusive and profane language to her.
Finally he told her he would leave her
when she implored him to stay and not
leave her penniless. Finally Sargent told
her lie could do nothing for her
and on yesterday mornings train
he left the country and no trace
of him can be found. The woman
is penniless, sick and heartbroken. She
has for several times gone into histories,
and at one time her life was almost des-
paired of. Her parents and friends are
very indignant, and the whole West Side
is in a furry of excitement. These.are the
facts as are presented by the people who
know the particulars of the sad story.
Sargent comes from a respectable family,
but his career as a cowboy in the west,
where he passed a great part of his life,
severed him from the good instructions he
received under the parental roof. The
woman was quite i'll and the shock of his
final desertion, leaving her in destitute
circumstances, gives her friends great ap-
prehension for her recovery.
