A man who says his name is Charles
Martin and claims to be in the real es
tate business at Sabula, this county,
was taken in charge by Constable
Marshal Sunday afternoon on the
charge of being drunk aud having &
gun in his possession. Next morning
he pleaded guilty and received a sen.
tence of thirty days in Jail. The hu.
initiation and disgrace OF his position
| didn't seem to worry Martin at all, but
he was greatly disturbed for fear the
publicity attached to his trial would
hurt and interfere with his 'sreal es-
tate" business at Sabula.

Mr.. A. F. Bond of this city was in
wreck on the narrow gauge road that
runs from Leeper to Reynolds county
last Saturday morning. The train
which was composed of several fat
cars loaded with logs and a combina-
ton coach aud baggage car was COM
ing into Leeper. The cars loaded with
logs went safely oyer a switch, but the
coach for some reason or other jumped
the rails, and fell of the trestle TO the
ground distance of some fifteen feet.
There were in the coach at the time
the unlucky number of thirteen people,
but none of them were badly hurt.
While he was endeavoring to get out
of the coach. box in which was live
pig, fell on MIR. Bonds left foot and
fractured his little toe. But the pain
or Inconvenience resulting therefrom
was not serious, and Mr.. B. thinks ne
had a very lucky escape.
The we'll which the railroad COM
pany has been drilling at the Arcadia
depot to supply the tank with water
has reached a depth of four hundred
feet The water comes to within nine
feet of the surface and the drill men
say there is a sufficient quantity to
supply the tank, by means of a pump,
in ali seasons. The idea when the
well was started was to secure a suffl-
Gent flow of water to fill the tank with
out the aid of 8 pump. Thus far,
however, this has not been accom-
plished. and work has for the time at
least been suspended. Whether a
pump will be put in or the well bored
deeper in the hope of securing the de-
sired flow of water has not yet been
determined. The work has been done
with a churn drill and for three hum |
dred feet the diameter is about eight
inches; beyond that depth the DIANE |
ter was reduced to five inches. At the |
depth of four hundred feet the strata |
seems 10 be composed chiefly of por-
phyry.
The barbecue and picnic at Hale's |
Grove, near Belleview, last Saturday, |
was as pleasant an affair as we ever
The good people of the |
garden-spot of Iron county were num-
erously there, and everybody seemed |
10 be enjoying himself. The dinner |
OF barbecued meats was a complete |
success, and the hungry multitude did |
ample justice to it. The 4. V. Cornet |
Band was in attendance from A. NJ.
until 6 P. NJ. and did what it could to |
add to the pleasures of the day. 1t |
was the first time for many years that |
the writer had the happiness of greet
ing the citizens on their own ground, |
and he will not soon forget the pleas |
ure it gave him. The geutler sex was
represented, aud the fair |
forms, bright eyes and lovely faces
that gave grace and beauty 10 the
scene caused the aching of many a |
susceptible heart ere the day was done. |

therefore cannot yet tell, the financial |
result of the picnic, but hopes it is
