tIngIy Remembered.

The Rev. c.. c. Mckinley and
wife were completely surprised
Saturday evening by the Pres

second anniversary of Mr.. and
Mrs. McGinley's marriage.
About half past s o'clock the
delivery wagon drove up and
began unloading ice cream and
cakes. Soon after the people
began to assemble in the
church. When a goodly num-
Der of people had arrived, a
committee was sent over to the
manse to invite Mr.. and Mrs.
Mckinley to come over. Sur
prised and confused they went
over and found the church
pretty well filled with devoted
Pres1yterians. When they were
seated, the Hon. w. |. Cruce
arose and in the name of the
congregation extended their
congratulations and spoke ap-
preciatively of their services.
Mr.. Mckinley, confused and al
most dazed, responded as best
he could under the circum-
stances.
The happy party then retired
to the manse, where the ladie,
had taken possession and were
prepared to serve ice cream
and cake to all. The coy
manse was we'll filed with ;
merry party of people.
A number of handsome GIFT:

was a check for fifty dollars ID!

About three years ago two
cousins, Charley and Jesse
Hidden, together with Il cook
named Jones, left here and
went to Arkansas to trade
horses for cattle. Later Jones
was arrested and convicted of
numbering and burning the two
Hibdens. He was finally hung,
after strong efforts had been
made by influential relatives to
get the sentence cOmmuted. 1t
now develops that Jesse Hib-
den is serving a term for whis-
ky selling, having been sent
from the Fort Smith court.
Jones insisted all the while that
Jesse Hidden was a party to
the murder, if not the principal;
but Jesse's bones were sup
posed to have been found in the
ashes where the murderers had
cremated their victims to cover
up their crime.

According to kilograms and
letters received here yesterday
and this morning it would seem
that an agreement was about to
be effected among the commits
sioners regarding townsites.
No assurance that such an
agreement had been signed has
ever reached here. The tele-
gram reads:
Agreed on compromise of
90 1-2 per cent on appraised
value"
That means simply this:
If the commission of appraisers
come along and value your lot
at 800, according to this agree
ment you will have to pay the
sum of $62.5O for the same.
The bone of contention has
been the per cent of appraised
value to be paid, the townsiters
offering 30 and our brethren in
red holding out for - per cent.
1t seems that the only way to
get out of the dilemma was by

retarded progress, and just as
Charlie got to the top the blasts
went off. The conclusion
threw him out of the well, his
body is cut and bruised in sew

rock. Frank Denmark, who
was assisting his brother out,
came in for a share of the fly
