A Severe Shaking Up.

Freight No 265, which carried the
party of local Knights to Muldrow
Thursday night was Slightly wrecked at
the depot at Muldrow and several of the
Knights were considerably bruised up.
1t appears the train broke in two just
before entering Muldrow, and as the
engine and forward portion of the train
slowed up for the station-the engineer
not being aware of the break--the rear
section crashed into it, damaging sew
eral cars and painfully injuring a num-
Der of the passengers in the caboose.
The most painfully injured were DR..
Roberts, who fell so as to strike the
base of his spine, rendering him uncon-
scious for some time; Prof Peacher
was considerably bruised about the
head, and j. E. Jarvis had his left arm
severely bruised and sprained so that he
will have to carry it in sling for some
days. Others received more or less
severe bruises and all were considerably
shaken up. They were, however, all
glad the accident was no worse. The
impact was sufficient to break the draw
heads in eight or ten cars.

! What was perhaps the most elaborate
wedding in the history of Van Buren
was solemnized by Rev Flowers at the
Trinity Episcopal church last Wednes-
day. uniting the lives of Mr. r. P.
Allen and Miss Gretchen Meyers.
The wedding was of far more than
local interest and attracted the attention
of society people throughout great
parties being two of the recognized
leaders of society in Van Buren, and
have host of friends who We'd with one
another to make the event one of the
most notable in the social history of
Van Buren,.
The church had been handsomely
decorated with mistletoe and evergreens
by loving hands and the whole edifce
transformed in manner to leave a
pleasant remembrance. The hour had
been set for clock and by that time
the church was we'll filled with friends
from far and near. Promptly at the
appointed hour the bridal party entered
and marched up the isles to Mendells-
sohn s wedding march rendered on the
organ by Prof J. g. Hall of Lexington,
KY, accompanied by DIR. O. NJ. Bour-
land on the violin. They met in front
of the chancel under great cluster of
mistletoe and Rev. Flowers, in the
beautiful and impressive wedding ser
vice of the Episcopal church, bound
the ties that made them husband and
wife before God and man.
AT the conclusion they were driven to
the residence of Capt. and Mrs. H. A.
Meyer where travelling costumes were
donned and they left on the southbound
cannonball for brief wedding tour in
old Mexico, being accompanied by
few friends as far as Fort Smith.
OF the bride and groom it is needless
for us to speak for they are too we'll
known throughout Western Arkansas,
and THE PRESS can only join their mum
erous friends in wishing for them all
the happiness that can come through
the union of two loving hearts.
