The drowning of Hubert Prev
lit, the Is year old son of Mr.. J.
II. Prev lit, in Wolf River, near
Grand Junction, Thursday of last
week, is one of the most deplorable
occurrences we have been called
upon to chronicle. A party of
friends went to the river SEEMING.
Hubert got into a swift current of
deep water, and his father, knowing
that he could not swim, started to
his rescue. Before he could reach
Hubert, however, he himself be-
came exhausted Other me mbers
of the party, realizing the serious
ness of the situation, went into the
water and succeeded in saving the
father, while the son went down in
the presence of the awe-stricken
group. His body was recovered a
few hours afterwards and carried to
his home in Grand Junction. The
whole community was shocked at
the announcement, and with the ex-
ception of the family and relatives,
none are more deeply grieved
than those who composed the party.
Hubert was popular and promising
young man and his sad and sudden
end is source of great sorrow.
The body was buried Friday and
the funeral service was attended by
one of the largest crowds ever as
sembled in Grand Junction. The
BULLETIN joins with many others in
extending sympathy to the grief
stricken parents.

Statement of Facts.

If you will please allow me space
in your valuable paper, l wish to
correct an error which has been
circulated by a person or persons
who failed to secure certificates in
June and have stated that | did
not take the examinations in June.
| perhaps would not have given the
matter any attention whatever,
had | heard this report but once;
but it has been circulated in an
adjoining county. How elastic
some peoples conscience must be!
Just why some person or persons
should attempt to do me an in
justice by circulating such a report,
when | have never done them an
injustice, is hard for me to under
stand; for surely you did know
that l did take the examinations
in June. If you r not willing to
take my word for it, write to our
worthy County Board of Educa-
ton. ,
Now, if these certain persons in
question would devote as much
time to the study of their text
books as they have in attempting
to attend to my business, they
might not fall clear below the
minimum, as contemplated by the
law, in the next examinations.
"Let facts be stated to a candid
world" Respectfully,

Rev. Milford Riggs officiating, Mr..
F. M. Curtis and Miss Rosa A.
Graendorf. Attendants, Miss Min
ME King and Mr.. Ernest Graen-
dorf.
At $3.50 o'clock last evening this
pretty wedding was quietly cele-
brated, only relatives and intimate
friends being in attendance. The
color scheme was white and pink,
the home being most attractive.
The bride, a dainty, petite
maiden, possessed of unusual
beauty, never appeared more radi-
ant than upon this occasion. Hell
bridal gown was of white French
lawn trimmed with Mecklin all
over lace and insertion, skirt of
deep flounces and insertion, with a
waist of Bertha tucks and insertion
and white ribbon sash. She car
ried a bouquet of pink roses, which
gave the n needful bit of color
ing to an otherwise lovely costume.
She was a fair picture which any
man might delight to call his own.
Miss King was becomingly attired
in an exquisite gown of pure white,
with pink sash. Her bouquet was
Of pink roses.
The bride is a lovely girl, of
many graces and will brighten the
home with those qualities of heart
and mind which have endeared her
to a wide circle of friends. She is
quiet, and unassuming, but nature
has endowed her with those quail
ties which go to make a true wife,
friend and lovely woman.
The groom is a young man of
sterling traits of character. He is
an expert electrician, holding a
lucrative position with the McGrew
Coal Co. He is an upright, manly
and progressive young gentleman.
Those who know him have only
words of commentator and ex-
tend sincere congratulations to
him on winning $50 charming a
bride. For the present they will
be at home to friends at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Frazier, on Franklin
avenue. May every happiness at
tend them, is the wish of the News.
