For some time we have suspected
that something was preying upon
Will McGuire's mind for we could
catch him standing with far off look
in his eye and when we'd speak to him
he would start, as from sleep. When
we got to the Station Tuesday morn
ing we found the cause for all these
strange actions. We noticed Will
was absent and asked George Peter
son, his obliging clerk, where he was
and this is the story George told us
Monday night, pretty early, Will
told me he guessed I'd better go and
get my supper and soon as 1 had start
ed he shut the door, glided up stairs
to get box and when got home
looked out and there lie went up over
the big hill like mad. Since, we have
found out that on Tuesday morning
at 6:O0 o'clock he was united in mar-
riage to Miss Nellie Murphey, at the
Catholic church in Audubon, Rev
Father Gleason performing the i'm.
pressive ceremony" We join with
j the host of WILLIS other friends il
welcoming the new bride to the Sta,
tion and hope that it may be one hun.
dred years from today before tn,
i grass grows green on their graves.
