In yesterdays yacht race, the Sham
rocks topmast broke "a minutes after
the start, giving the Columbia the race
and keeping the cup this side of the
water. Such a winning is not entirely
satisfactory, but if the Columbia wins
the third race, which is to be sailed to-
morrow, it will be glorious.
Clark Clement of Gobleville came near
being killed last week by stone strik-
ing him in the back of the head while
he was watching some boys play duck on
the rock. DR.. Huff and doctors from
Paw Paw and Kendalls were called and
at first it was feared an operation would
be necessary, but at present he seems to
be coming out of it without any.
The marriage of Mr.. Jesse Labadie and
Miss Zoe Munger was solemnized last
evening at the Christian church, by Pas
tor r. L. Lnsell, in the presence of a
large company. The ceremony was
very pretty one. The groom and bride
are two of Paw Paws best young people
and are held in high esteem. The
Northerner unites with other friends in
wishing them long and happy life.
O. w Rowland went to Lawton on his
wheel to see the president. On his way
home, he met pedestrian on the road,
who struck at him viciously with club
or other heavy article. Fortunately, the
blow fell on the front wheel instead of
on his head He stopped and addressed
his assailant, trying to recognize him,
but was unable TO do SO and, being in
hurry to get home to attend wedding,
did not follow the fellow to Lawton,
whittier he was bound. If he can be
identified, he should be brought to
justice.
Yesterday afternoon, word was receiv-
ed here that the Mckinley train would
stop at Lawton and those wishing to see
the president could leave here on the
Lao train. Manager Patterson agreed to
run special back to Paw Paw as soon
as the presidential train had passed. A
large number availed themselves of the
opportunity-lnany more would have
done so had they known of It, The
special did rot reach Lawton until 7:45,
and the big crowd stood around patiently
waiting its arrival. The train only stop
ped long enough to take the Kalamazoo
reception committee aboard-not long
enough for the president to speak to the
people, but he came to the rear platform,
bowling and smiling and the big crowd
surged and cheered with enthusiasm.
Mrs. Mckinley was on the train and was
seen inside the car by some of the crowd
The train was one of the finest that ever
passed over the Central. Paw Paws
delegation FASTENED back to their train
expecting to be at once brought home
according to agreement Many of them
had been unable to procure supper in
Lawton, the hotel and restaurants not
having expected any extra crowd. The
coach, after being loaded, was attached
to the rear of the regular train and held
for full hour awaiting the arrival of the
accommodation. This was bad faith or
the part of the management of the road
and piece of petty economy which the
passengers aboard feel and resent.
