prise party last Monday evening. The
visiting party were made up of ''rhe
Cooking Club" of which Mrs, Shat

winter when they so successfully play
ed "Rebecca's Triumph" The visit
ing party numbered about twenty, and
so well did they keep their secret that
not only did Mr.. and Mrs, Shattuck
get no inkling of the matter, but it was
studiously kept from all their relatives,
Mrs, Shattuck's parents knowing moth
ing about it until the next day. This
made it much more pleasing for them,
taking into consideration the fact of the
party bringing with them two ele-
giant oak and plush rockers, which
they left as token of their good will
and esteem.
The company came provided with
refreshments in the shape of an abund-
ance of cake which at the proper time,
supplemented with hot coffee, was duly
served. The johnson brothers and
others enlivened the evening with
fine vocal music, and Noble and Web.

all present. Thus was the time spent
until II o'clock when the party retired,
having, to all appearances, enjoyed a
good time" and leaving the worthy
young couple, their host and hostess,
much pleased with this manifestation of
friendship and good will.

couple Of masked men attempted to rob
the passengers on the midnight train of

slouched hats pulled down over their
faces and they stationed themselves at
each door OF the car. Immediately they
masked themselves, and without warn
ing began firing with their revolvers
right and left to terrify the passengers.

nearest him, but the desperate knocked
him down, and his companion running

Mr.. Ed Sloan came up from the land
ing WEDNESDAY, although rather sore
from the effects of the accident of the
day before, is able to walk around and
attend his duties. Mr.. Sloan told of the
accident, as nearly as he could. He and
his wife came to the city to make some
repairs in some of the city water pipes,
and started for home at about the middle
of the afternoon. Shortly after passing
the Catholic church he mentioned being
somewhat cold, and his wife took the
reins in one hand, and attempted to
pass him shawl with the other. Just
at this time the horse passed pile of
manure and refuse, which had been
dumped near the road by some crimi-
nally careless person. and SHE'D to one
side. Mrs. Sloan was unable to control
him with one hand, and he turned
around quickly, upsetting the buggy
and throwing both of the occupants out
directly apon the railroad track, knock
ing them both senseless. Mrs. Sloan
finally recovered consciousness, and
made vain attempt to rescuscitate her
husband, but without success. Help
was finally summoned and Mr. Sloaa
was carried to the office OF the doctor.
Re (Sloan) says he remembers nothing
beyond the time he mentioned being
cold. 5s5ls ~ +. Z 5.s.5
Mrs. Sloan is quite severely injured,
being hurt internally beside nasty
scalp wound, and Mr.. Sloan came into
the city yesterday to summon doctor
to her assistance.
The direct cause of the accident was
the presence, directly alongside the road,
of q rubbish pile, dumped there by some
thoughless person, too thoughtless to
foresee the danger Of SO doing. The
tract Of land directly alongside the road
leading to the river has long been made
q dumping ground, and it is high time$to
look into the matter and see that the
practice is stop 1ed.
