The buggy episode created good
deal of talk in the town and county.
1t was not fiction. When it was writ
ten the writer did not know the par
ties, as there were several names men
toned in connection with it. But that
was immaterisi; he had heard that it
really occurred. AS The Herald and
News mentioned 10 names then, no
names can be mentioned now. It is
not positive who the parties are. 1t
is said that it was not the fellow some
people thought it was, and that it was
emphatically not the young lady some
people thought it was. If it indeed
happened it lies between several young
men and some other and unknown girl.
