VIM. Thurman, who lives in Iron
Mountain, came to Irouton last Mon
day, filed up on 'bug juice and pro-
ceeded to make himself obnoxious.
He was taken in charge by the mar
shall and landed in Jail. After being
given several hours wherein to sober
up he was taken before the mayor
who fined him a dollar and costs.
Thurman paid the fine but got very
smart and s'sassy." The constable
then took him in tow and landed him
before Squire Fairchild where he was
given thirty days in jail for carrying
concealed weapons-a pair OF knucks
having been found in his possession.
Thurman now languishes In durance
vile and will have a whole month
wherein to mediate and ponder over
the heartless ways Of this cruel world.
Last Saturday afternoon a team
standing in Gay u Kindell's wagon
yard got frightened and dashed out of
the yard and started up Main street.
They struck a surrey being driven by
Misses Alice Gay and Bertha Fairchild.
The surrey was turned over and the
young ladies thrown to the ground.
Miss Gay sustained a broken collar
bone and both were badly bruised.
The young ladies' injuries while not
serious are very painful and both will
be confined to their room for several
days. The team was stopped in front
of the drug store before any further
damage was done. This practice OF
leaving teams standing and not hitched
should be abolished. 1t is the grossest
carelessness and the offender should
be punished. The team belonged to a
man by the name OF Nash.
Chas. Orrick of Granitevillle tells a
pretty good turkey story. On a recent
occasion while out hunting Mr.. Orrick
says that through the leaves, at quite
a distance, he espied a turkey. The
foliage was so thick that all he could
see of the turkey was its head. He
fred his gun and the turkey dis
appeared. The report OF the gun
startled another turkey that attempted
to fly away and be promptly shot it.
He gathered up this turkey and then
thought he would take a look where
he had fred his first shot, and to his
surprise found that he had killed four
turkeys with his first shot, all lying liz
a row. Mr.. Orrick says he was never
more surprised in his life than when
he found the four turkeys lying there.
He picked up his game and started
home, thinking he had secured enough
for two shots.
