Fritz Trauernicht, son of VIM.
Trauernicht, Middlebrook, was call
er at this Office last week. Fritz is
studying dentistry in ST. Louis, and is
spending few weeks with his parents
before the opening of school next
month. He is a most enterprising
young man and we have no doubt will
achieve success in his profession.
The little birds are whispering that
one of Ironton's fairest daughters, who
| has been sojourning in the far north
west for several months past, will be-
come the bride of a scion of one of the
most prominent families in Montana,
ere the snow flies. Here's our best
wishes to the young lady, and hearty
congratulations to the man of her

Mr.. VIM. b. Newman returned home
Monday from an absence of two months

In this issue will be found an adver-
tisement at sheriff's sale of an undivid
ed half interest in the Keller and Lake
lands, comprising ten thousand acres,
in the west end of this county. Sher-
if O'Neal has made the levy on judg-
ment for over $4,000 secured against
Keller by Chicago parties at the last
term of court; the land as described is
about the largest in acreage ever adj
vertised for sale in Iron county under
an execution or order of court.
Rev. L. F. Potter of Kirkwood, a Wis
itor to the Episcopal Convocation held
here last week, met with quite a pain
full accident while out riding Thursday
evening. His horse stumbled and fell.
Mr.. Potter being underneath. At first
the reverend gentleman experienced
no serious Inconvenience but after an
hour or so one of his limbs began to
pain him considerably, and a hasty
examination revealed that a bone had
probably been fractured. He was
taken home the next day for treatment.
The revival meeting inaugurated
last week in a tent near the NJ. L.
church by Rev. l.. B. Haines and wife
of st. Louis is still in progress. Ser
vices are held every afternoon and
evening, and the attendance good, al
though the converts up to the present
are few and far between. Mrs. Haines
does most of the preaching, and seems
to interest her hearers. Revs. Banner,
Aspley and Watson are assisting in
the services. The meeting will pro-
badly last all week and, perhaps, lon
ger.
There was dance at the house OF a
man by the name of King, who lives
about two miles from town on the
Fredericktown road, last Thursday
night. As the wee sma' hours of morn |
ing came on and the guests were pre-
pairing to leave for home, Chas. Hen |
son, a son of Walker Henson, and Geo. |
Left had a quarrel. 1t is said Henson |
drew knife and threatened to carve |
Left, whereupon the latter pulled re-
volver and shot Henson in the shoulder. |
This terminated the festivities and the |
guests hurried home. Henson's iDju- |
ries are not serious. Up to the present
no arrests have been made. /

dividual employed at Baldwin's hub
factory. went home last Thursday
evening after hard days work, and /
learned that his wife had skipped out"
taking with her the children, and all
the money on hand. The loss of the
wife and children didn't seem to trou-
BILE the deserted husband to any great
extent. but the absence of the money
he could not tolerate. Merrill made
inquiry and learned that his wife had
gone to St Louis. He followed on an
early train next morning, resolving at
all hazards to recover what he could
of the money his recreant wife had
taken with her What success crowned
his efforts has not been ascertained.
The Convocation of the Episcopal
Church held here during last week

influence on the gatherings. All the
meetings were of very great interest
