Overseer in charge of the Infrmary.
1t seems that the Steward had pre-

Protzmans struck at once on the
new schedule and swore that they
would have white bread for every
meal or have blood The landlady
of the Hotel de Infirmary was the
first object of their attack, and her
son, a young man who had Just
arrived home from Grafton, came
to the rescue and slugged Col. Bill

old man were on his back, and 1t

man, on the Dean fara, near Mark.
leysbnrg, Pa, was found lying in a
field short distance from her
home last Thursday about eleven
O'Clock dead, her death caused by a
pistol shot supposed to have been
fired by her own b,nd. The ball
had penetrated her heart aud
caused almost instant death. The
girls parents are both dead, and
this shocking deed was clmmitted
on the fourth anniversary of her
mothers death, about an hour
earlier in the dty.
Mrs. Thalcntyre, German wo-
man who lives nearby, heard a pis-
tol shot about 1915, but paid no
attention to it. A short time later
a Mr.. Thomas, who works for Alt
man, started out TO bring horse
from the field and saw some one
lying in the field. When he came
near enough to recognize her, he
noticed her clothing smoking, and
thinking she might have accident
ally set fire TO them, fastened to
her assistance. When he reached
her he found her dead and her
clothing burning from the shot.
When the alarm was raised and the
body carried TO the house, they
found a note she had left, in which
she stated that she meant to end
her existence.
The Altmans moved from Home

A BRIDE AND A BABY.
Preston County's First Official
Wedding.

30 Tar as VIC can ascertain the
first official wedding for this county
came Off in the Court House here
at 10 u. m. Tuesday OF this week.
The groom was Ellsworth Hileman.
a son Of Beth Hileman, OF Coriuth.
aud be has been Ia jill hore the
past six weeks on u charge Of bis-
tardy preferred by Miss Eliza Ann
Burkett, whose father lived over at
Lake Terra Alta till recently when
they moved TO Kingwood and live
down on the Bowery. The county
court has been in session all week
aud the hot weather recently made
1t very uncomfortable i'm the Hotel
De Jail for Hilcmau, aud so he
finally surrendered AMI agreed to a
confession Of guilty as charged"
and life sentence with Ella Ann
in order to get out of Jail. The
Court arranged tSget him out and
save the county the expense OF his
keeping. A man named Methenv,
that Hlleman had been working
for, came forward aud paid off part
OF the costs and went security for
Tho rest, about $50 in all. and fur.
nshed money TO buy the license
and pay the preacher. Sheriff
Shaifer, who is naturally very gal
tant, arranged all the details and
declared that it should be done up
right.
The word got out about an hour
before the time set and the news
spread like wild-fre and people
hurried toward The Court House
from all directions, till it was
crowded more than any time since
The campaign last fall. The bride
and her friends were on hand early
and occupied special bench re.
served for the wedding party. The
Sheriff arranged with DR.. Pratt TO
hold the baby while the ceremony
was being performed and few
minutes before the hour appointed
escorted the prisoner into court and
seated him in the midst of the
County Dads. Then he rang a
wedding march on the Court House
bell and CALAMITY escorted the
bride to the side of the man of her
choice. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Harrison linn, OF
the Primitive Baptist church and
member Of the Court from Reno
district. The minister stood up
and asked the couple TO arise, (as
is customary when sentence Is
passed), and then after adjusting
his glasses, tool an official looking
document from his pocket and
ordered them to join their right
hands.
The groom was holding on to his
hat with his right hand, and is
either left handed or else was afraid
to lay his hat down in that crowd.
and 80 held on to it and gave the
bride his left hand. However. it
was a sort of left-handed mar
riagc, anyhow. The ceremony was
very short and the bride looked
sweet. After being pronounced
husband and wife, they were told
to depart in peace, aud the new
hubby started for the door, with
the bride and baby right on his
Grail. Just before the ceremony.
Joseph Jackson passed around his
hat end took ups collection for the
bride, and secured several dollars
for her as dowry. to start house
keeping with. The bride IS not
bad looking and Just "sweet six
teen," while the groom's age was
given in at II. Thus ends this ro-
nance in wedding, as all good sto
ries should end, butt is not ALWAYS
customary to have a baby thrown
