Leo. Wyndearo and Miss Violet
Copeland were united i'll marriage, by
Rev. J. s. McCallum, at the residence
of the groom's parents on Twelfth

groom has been a resident OF this city

Superior Court to revive and continue
the judgment entered in the famous
case of Moses III. Scott vs. Augustine
McNeal, from decision of the U. S.
Supreme Court, in which the plaintiff
recovered lands sold by administration
after seven years absence under the
presumption of his death. The present
movement to have the judgment con-
tinued against McNeal is to recover
the costs of suit, amounting to over
$500.
Frank Tussell, an experienced log
ger in the employ of the Mason county
Logging Co., met with an accident,
Thursday afternoon of last week. A
tree in falling WAS thrown against
him in such n manner as to catch his
right arm against the trunk of a
tree near by. The result was fearful
manyle of the flesh and breaking OF
bones. The sufferer was brought to
town on hand-car and taken to the
hospital, where the injured member
was amputated.
The showers of rain which have
fallen at intervals since Tuesday
night, have dampened the ardol
somewhat of campers-at least some

Others brag less of the delights afford
ed by the deep contiguity of shade
and the relief afforded to tired nerves
from sylvan solitude, and the use oil

ceedingly disquieting to those who can
not step down from the treadmill o.
daily life long enough to take an out

The breaking of neckyoke of one
of Laberee's teams attached to a bag
gage wagon, few mornings ago, re-
leasing the pole which fell to the
ground and caused the horses to star
ut break-neck speed down the street
was not an unusual occurrence, buI
the result of the mishap is one that j,
seldom recorded. Although the pole
plowed groove in the soil for severa
blocks, it struck no obstruction, ant
seems to have jumped over all cross
ings, for after the run was over neithe
it, nor the wagon, nor the horses, no
their owner. Mr.. Laberee, nor thei
driver Mr.. Free, were injured in til,
slightest degree.
