UNBALANCED HER MIND.
Buchanan Girl said to b Crazy Because
her Parents Object to Her j
rs ~h Marriage. NJ, ,.'@ .">%$

1t Ia reported that Miss Tracy
kuter. OF Buchanan. has gone daft
because her parents object to her
marrying the man of her choice says
the Roya,ton Banner. Our infur'
mant was John Sitzman, the Buck
man postmaster, and his story is
corroborated by Perry Millinder,
the mail carrier. y.
? The girl Ia 81 years OF age and for
two years has been engaged to be
married to Hobert Kelsenberg, q
neighhor and a young man OF excel
lent parts. thrifty apd fairly well to
do. The girls parents, while their
wish or opinion in the matter had
never been asked, permitted the
young people to go together and
gave their passive consent to the
engagement, which was an open
secret In the neighborhood. The
young people decided to join their
fortunes about Christmas time and
began to make the necessary arrange
ments for the wedding, and of course
the girls parents were told Of their
plans. Then the trouble began.
They refused to give their consent to
the union. not because they had any
fault to find with the young man
personally, but for the reason: that

tended to fulfill her promise. The
old people remained obdurate, locked
the girl up in q room and refused the
young man admission to the house.
Worry and grief over the matter
has unbalanced the girls mind and
she ia now raving maniac and it is
necessary to keep constant guard
over her to keep her from destroying
the furniture and doing herself bodily
harm. 1t ia said that she broke
nearly every window pane in the
house and smashed much of the fur
niture before she was overpowered.
For a time the unfortunate girl was
kept in Buchanan village with her
parents but she ia now on the farm
where her brothers live and they are
caring for her. Considerable indigna-
ton is felt in the community toward
Kuter and his wife and iuis said that
the law may he invoked to bring
them to their senses.

CATHOLIC FAIR.

The bazar opened yesterday by
the sisters of the Sacred Hear
Institute and the ladies of the
Catholic church bad a large at.
tendance for an opening day and
last night the spacious hall form.
erly occupied by the Vienna Cafe
was crowded by merry sight-seers
and holiday purchasers.
The fair certainly merits visit
and when one makes the visit
they should remember that they
are not only receiving the value OF
their money in return for the ex-
penditure but are contributing, in a
measure, to the holy work OF char
ivy SO righteously performed by
the good sisters.
As one enters the room they are
at once attracted by the charm Of
the scene made pretty by deco
rations Of flowers, ferns and bunt-
ing arranged in neatly blending
colors.
There is a good natured rivalry
among the ladies to make their re-
spective booths the most attractive
from an artistic standpoint as Fa-
ther Dannis has offered an elegant
silver service to the lady, or la
dies, whose taste in arrangement
is deemed the best.
The friends of the Misses Agnes
Ficklin and Fannie Knight are

favorites because the one for

SPIRIT OF A BRIDE
Takes Flight and Leaves Husband and
Friends Snrr0WfuI Indeed.

Mr.. L. A. Winston, deputy United
States clerk for the Northern District,
has the heartfelt sympathy Of host
of friends and acquaintences.
Certainly this popular young gentle
man who, only few days ago stood
beside the bier Of his father and wept
for the loss so great to him, has a
weight Of sorrow hard to bear.
Mr.. Winston had scarcely returned
from the graveside of his parent to
his home in Muskogee when, yester-
day forenoon, he embraced for the
last time on earth his lovable bride
and cried out in agony when her soul
took flight to that beautiful haven
of eternal rest.
Mrs. Bette Winston, nee Miss Bet
tie Crabtree, the BRIDE of a few weeks
died during the forenoon hours and
her body now lies shrouded in the gar
ments worn at her marriage She
was a handsome woman and her heart
was so filed with sweetness that no
man. woman or child ever came with
in the circle of her charming presence
but loved her for her gentle gracious
ness
The funeral services were held TO-
day at Muskogee and the remains of
the charming bride of yesterday will
be inferred in the family plat in the
cemetery at Eufaula.
