HORSE HAS LoCKJAw.-The first
clearly defined case of chronic tetanus
Qockjaw) ever seen among domestic ami
mails in King George county manifested
itself a few days ago in a fine young
mare belonging to DR.. T. T. Arnold.
Less than month ago DIR. Arnold no
ticed small abrasion on one of the ami
mails legs, but it was so triaing in ap-
pearance that no special attention was
paid to it. 1t resulted, probably, from
kick, or some unknown cause, and was
left to heal. Some days ago the mare
developed alarming symptoms, and DR..
Arnold began a treatment of the case.
The mare grew rapidly worse, and the
doctor called in a neighboring physician,
who at once agreed with him that he had
case OF chronic tetanus on his hands.
Both DIR. Arnold and DR.. Minor have
given the animal every possible atten-
tion-the most modern methods being
adopted, but so far the disease is not re-
spending to treatment, and the indica-
tons are that the mare will not survive
the attack.

featuring, wholesaling and retailing

chased the good will of Flynn and
the Brewing Association, and pro-
duce a contract with Flynn in which
he had agreed last July that :'for
and in consideration of the said sum
of eighty-five hundred dollars, also

The Omaha Railroad Will Do Big Job
at Sink Hole.
CAUSE is UNDERGROUND CREEK
such is Believed to be the Cause OF the
Trouble Near Pratt Where Dumping
OF Gravel and Cinders Fails to Fill
Hole Under Roadbed.

Frank G. Scribner, of the Omaha
railroad company, was in the city
Monday, arranging with the Edward
Hines Lumber company, for a spec
ial bill of timber to be used on the
sink hole at Pratt. Last spring the
bottom seemed to 60 entirely out
from under the railroad track two
miles north of Pratt, and trainload
after trainload of gravel was put in
to the hole, but with no permanent
effect. Crews have been busy near
ly all summer keeping the hole filed,
and it is hard to estimate the large
number of loads Of cinders, gravel
and rock that have gone into the
hole. The company have decided
that there must be an underground
stream and will deal with it accord
ingly. Three hundred and seventy
five timbers of the longest length,
not less than eleven inches at the
top and sixteen inches at the butt
have been ordered, and are being
sawed out by the Hines Lum Der
Company. These will be taken to
the sink. hole, and be driven in until
they form solid mass in the open
ing. First the hole will be filed
with the timbers and then these will
be driven down andS the second tier
of timbers placed on top and driven
down; then the third row of timbers
will be driven. When this is COM
pleted there will be eighty or ninety
feet of solid timber in the earth.
all this will be sunk deep iato the
ground, and then covered over the
top with dirt, and it is intended to
reaca depth Of Considerably over
125 feet. The opening is only about
the length Of three cars, but it has
baffied all ordinary attempts at
stopping it, and the company pro-
pose to use the above means to get
around the difficulty. Mr.. Scribner
says that his company had similar
experience at Richardson about fl
teen years ago. by the appearance of
sink hole, when at times the water
would raise high enough to put out
the fires in their locomotives. After
trying every known method to fill in
the place, they used the method
which will now be employed at Pratt.
and it worked with splendid success
The Hines mill was selected to fur
nish the timber, as it Is the best
equipped of any on the bay for this
class OF work.

A "'BLOOD" MARRIED
Was Hooked Up in Washburn on
August 9TH.
WAS A PECULIAR AFFAIR
A PECULIAR AFFAIR
The Groom Is a Brooklyn Man OF Social
Importance, and the Bride Was
Pretty Widow. Who Worked as
Stenographer In Ashland.

The city of Brooklyn has expressed
great surprise" in social circles,
according to dispatch sent out to
the daily newspapers all owing to
the announcement in the papers of
that city and New York Of the
marriage of Henry A. W. Healey,
the son of A. Augustus Healey,
president of the Brooklyn Insti-
tute of Arts and Sciences, and
also president of the United States
Leather Company. According to
the reports sent out from the east
young Healey was married the 7th of
last August, and is now in the west
with his bride on their wedding trip.
Further interest is added to the
story by the fact that Healey was
engaged to Miss Laura Hubbard,
the daughter of one of the most
prominent residents of the borough,
and that Miss Hubbard received
news of the marriage of young
Healey in letter from the latter
about three weeks ago. "Cards an
nouncing my sons marriage will be
issued in few days" was the re-
ply given to reporters by the mother
OF the young mar when asked about
the affair at her home in Brooklyn
last week. The bride with whom
young Healey is in the west" is Mrs.
zeta Dickinson, of Milwaukee, the
widow of Fl. W. Dickinson.
Such is the story as it has been
sent out from New York and
Brooklyn.
There is another story which goes
with the above, and which will no
doubt cause the plot to thicken
somewhat when it becomes known.
And here it is for the first time:
Last spring Henry A. w. Healey,
a very interesting young man,
arrived at Mellen. Healey had been
sent west by the United States
Leather Company, to inves tigate the
condition of their tanneries, and to
recommend changes and improve
ments in the plants. 1t is under.
stood among those connected with
the tannery at Mellen that Healey is
an expert in the business, and he at
once took hold Of affairs in manner
that convinced the local people that
he knew just what he was about.
While at Mellen Mrs. Dickinson.
who has been stenographer en-
ployed by w. HI. Gilbert, the Ash
land lumberman, arrived in the place
to visit her sister. There she saw
Healey, and it is reported that she
remarked at the time; IT am going
TO marry that man." Healev be-
come greatly attached to Mrs. Dick
enson, and evidently it was case OF
"true love-"
On August 7th last there appeared
before County Judge William H.
Irish in this city young man and
woman, asking for permit to get
married without waiting the five
days prescribed by the Wisconsin
laws. Judge Irish questioned the
couple somewhat closely and con-
cluded that it was an elopement,
but issued the permit and they were
married by Justice of the Peace l..

name as Henry Wilder, saying he

was the son of Edward G. Wilder
and Elizabeth Coyle Wilder, of New
York City, and that he was engaged
in literary work. The bride also
married under an assumed name,
giving her name as Elizabeth Wend-
ling, OF Milwaukee. The ceremony
was duly performed, and the young
man handed the justice a liberal fee
for performing the ceremony. Both
the young people evidently thought
that there would be no danger of
meeting anyone whom they knew
while here, but at the conclusion OF
the ceremony one of the acquaint-
ances OF the young man, having bust
ness with Mr.. Clansen, came into
his office, and recognizing the new
groom extended his hand with
greeting; GLOW do you do, Mr..
Healey." The groom apparently
somewhat discontinued, replied;
"You are mistaken, sir, | am not Mr..
Healey. "Oh, very well, then"
replied the other. but he knew he
was not mistaken, and when he
learned what had taken place before
he arrived he very discreetly refused
to give any information as to Healey.
But the story leaked out at Mellen
and become known to few people
in this city.
A few weeks ago young Mr..
Healey informed his mother of his
marriage, and arrangements were
made for the mother to meet Mr.. and
Mrs. Healey in Chicago. The meet
ing occurred, and the angry mother
in law refused to give her blessing
to her son and his bride. Mrs.
Healey-Wilder returned to Mellen,
and informed her people that she
"had run up against cake of ice in
Chicago.
Young Healey went to Ridgeway,
Pa, two or three weeks ago, and
wrote his wife from that place, to
come to him. Before the letter ar
rived she received telegram not to
come. A few days ago she was at
Mellen, but expected to join her
husband at any time. She believed
that PARENTAL interference has been
keeping her apart from her husband,
but as the young couple are greatly
attached to each other there is little
question out what their lives will be
spent together. Young Healey is a
Harvard graduate, and the bride is a
charming woman, connected with
prominent people in Milwaukee.
Since the death of her husband she
has made her own living as a stenog-
rapher, and was employed up to the
time of her marriage with w. Fl.
Gilbert, the Norway King"
Under the laws of Wisconsin the
marriage is legal one.
