of the contracting parties being
well known here; "The marriage of
Miss Estella J. Bice and Brent f.
Larsen occurred at the residence of
the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and Mrs.

vice was witnessed by many friends
and relatives. 1t was an ideal June
wedding, the house being a garden
of roses, while they were profusely
worn by every guest. The bridal
pair stood meath a bowery of lace
and roses. 1t was scene never to
be forgotten. 1t was wedding not
over burdened with ceremony.
Clouds swept across the sky, rain
fell, but evening crowned the day
and in its first clear shining, amid
merriment and joyous good wishes,
perhaps few tears, for marriage is
parting no less than uniting, the
young couple drove away upon the

AN editor who knew exactly what
he was talking about took occasion
to say that "running a newspaper
without occasionally publishing an
item that is untrue or gives offence,
is like running a railroad without
having smashups and accidents. 1t
can't be done. No man in the world
is so likely to be imposed upon as
the editor Of a newspaper. Pushed
with work continually, he must rely
in great measure upon second or
third parties for information as to
the events that transpire. Frequent
ly statements are received from
reliable people, but which are sub
quently found to be without founda-
ton in fact. If, therefore, kind
reader, you find yourself aggrieved
by statement in your home paper,
bear this fact in mind. Don't "hy
off the handle," but 90 to the editor
for correction, and take our word
for it, nine cases out of ten if your
case is just you will be received like
a gentleman and the correction
made with pleasure"
AS the heavy storm on Tuesday
evening was abating a runaway
down High street brought all the
people in our business houses to the
sidewalk. 1t was young horse
that was employed in hauling a
single top buggy in which were Jas.
Mckinley, Ed. Mckinley and Jacob
Theno, Jr., three carpenters return
ing from where they were engaged
at work. When near J. J.. Hankins'|
place one of the bolts which held
the thills dropped out, frightening
the horse into a dash for liberty.
The animal bolted toward the north
side Of the street and collided with
an electric light pole, dumping the
three occupants of the buggy, Jas
Mckinley striking the post and
receiving severe injuries, but we
hope not serious, while the other
two were not hurt in the least. The
frantic horse then crossed to The
south side and came in contact with
a lamp post with such foroe that
the buggy was left there a complete
wreck. On went the horse, how
ever, till it reached the crossing by
Martin d Toay's, where it fell, roll
inc over several times, and receiy-
ing such injuries as may render it
valueless.
