Mr.. j. H. Hyrover tells the following
good stories of local interest:
The late Rev. Jarvis Buxton, rector
of st. Johns Episcopal church, in Fay
etteville from 1881 to 1851, delightful
and polished in the pulpit, was like
many other studious men, very absent
minded. One morning he started to
service few minutes in advance of his
Wife and, when within a few yards Of
the church he discovered that he had
left his sermon at home. Turning back,
he took a side street to avoid the ineyi-
table questioning from the passers- by
on seeing him going in the wrong direc
ton. Thus he missed his wife, and reach
ed the house, to find that she had closed
everything securely, locked the front
door, and taken the key with her. There
was nothing for it but to get a ladder
from the stable, mount the front porch.
open hall window, descend to his study.
secure the precious document and make
his exit as he had made his entrance.
By rapid walking he managed to reach
the church In time to don his clerical
robes and conduct the services. When
the time came for his sermon he ar
ranged his manuscript on the lectern in
his usual careful manner. and gave it a
keen glance of surprise. There was no
little dissatisfaction, too, in his look
for, in truth, in his haste he had laid
hands on the wrong manuscripts dis
course which he had recently prepared,
but which pleased him SO little that he
| had resolved never to deliver it,
| Raising his head, he said: 'My breth-
rem, almost reached the church this
morning before l found that I had left

STORY OF AN INFATUATl0N.
Especial to the eNews.g)

Boise, Ida, June 2O,--A peculiar ana
somewhat sensational elopement has
just occurred In Boise, w. L. Barnes
and Mrs. John Lila have departed Tor
pastures green" leaving Mrs Barnes
and Mr.. Lila to mourn their loss.
1t seems that Mr.. Barnes and Mr.
Lila have been, for some time past,
engaged in the lumber yard Of M. H.
Goodwin & Co.. and have, to all APP
pearances, been fast friends. About a
year ago, Barnes and Mrs. Lila became
enamOred Of each other and, while both
lived with the lawful spouse in appar"
ent peaceful content, the Jane OF pas
sion did not become qusnched. The
state OF affairs seemed TO be apparent
20 the spouses OF the "errlng couple,
but no steps appear TO have been taken
TO break the spell.
A few days ago the small child Of Mr..
and Mrs. Barnes, the last link which
bound them together, sickened and died.
The husband and father attended the
funeral and the next day drew his saw
ings from the bank and bought tick
ct to Portland. On the same day Mr.,
Lila gave his wife money To purchase
a ticket and she Is said 10 have ticket
ed from here to Caldwell, Joining
Barnes at that place for Portland.
Before leaving, Barnes gave his wife
q deed TO their home here, and 1t Is
said that Lila gave his wife 500 for
expenses The young couple" are said
20 be between 80 and 10 years of age
and Mrs. Lila had a daughter OF some
three years which they took with them,
She also has an adopted daughter. q
few years older, which she left with
her husband.
Marital troubles seem TO run in the
family of Mrs. Barnes. Her brother has
just figured In divorce proceeding, as
defendant, in which his wife has OBJ
tanned a divorce from him In our dis
trict court, and her sister Is said to
have been divorced no less than three
times.
The elopement seems 10 be satlsfac-
tory TO the parties left behind. Mrs,
arnes stated that she had known for
some time past that Barnes and Mrs.
Lila were infatuated with each other,
but that she could do nothing TO pre-
vent t. She says she knew he was GO
ing away with the Lila woman, but
that she simply kissed him goodbye
and bid him God speed. what good
would II do me-" she said. ito have him
arrested and locked up I? / could do
nothing but let him 60" Mr.. Lila
seems to take II trihe harder. though
ne says he had known he was going to
lose her for some time past; that she
loved arnes and nothing he could do
would keep her.
