Paul's Marriage.

Paul D. McClelland, Sheriff Wizards
genial and popular deputy, made q very
quiet exit out Of the city last week,
without notifying us Of the purpoIt Of
his mission, which was, of course natur
ally supposed to be official business
but a notice appearing in the Rapid
Journal of last Sunday announcing his
marriage in that place on Saturday, by
Rev. F. d. Haner, to Miss Grace T..
Bearshear. of ~Blackhawk, was accepted
as conclusive evidence that his business
abroad was not Of IN official character,
but Of q far more important nature
which any young man Of Paul's excm-
plary character and progressing APP
pearance is liable to encounter sooner
or later, and his army of friends in this
community will unite with the CHRoN-
IcLE ia the earnest and ardent hope that
his future, and that of his estimable
bride, may be crowned with the full
f%ruition of connubial happiness, coupled
with abundant prosperity. The Journal
supplements the announcement of the
marriage by IN account in detail of the
happy event, With favorable comments
upon the high character of the con-
tracing parties. from which We extract
the following:
"The bride is we'll known in Rapid
City where she lived for some time.
She is Young. pretty and accomplished
ard is a prize well worth the winning.
Mr.. McClslland is = young man Of
promise and has = host or friends to
wish him and his bride a happy and
prosperous life. The Journal in com.
pany with others extends congratula-
tons"

A man about As years of age, with
black hair and beard. and having an old
blue blanket wrapped around klm and
carrying a number of tin can caused
some alarm among the ladies on the
south side this morning. The fellow
did not come through town but worked
his way around on the outskirts and was
begging. The appearance was repulsive
on account Of filth. When asked where
he came from he said II am from

Yes, he is crazy, and his veracity 10
also badly out of repair. Custer may
have n or more citizens who carry
wheels in their heads, but none who
adopt that method of toting lead. The
crank is not Of Custer. If he was, a
bicycle, and not a carriage. would have
been the burden Of his anxious mind.
In all probability the nomadic freak is a
