Henry Twyford heard two well known
young people talking about matrimony
and the Hastler's bachelor contest.
Mr.. TwyfOrd hunted up Squire Tinlay
and told him there was a couple at thN
court house who wanted to get married
and for the Squire to come right over.
stAlright Henry, wait till sign this
warrant andI' be right there.
But Henry never waited. Not Henry.
He had business way OFF somewhere
else. Business that needed his personal
attention and needed it right then, too.
But the Squire went along and when
he entered the room and stated that he
had come to marry somebody, he didn't
care who, and that Henry Twyford had
sent him, there was confusion and ex-
citement by the yard and then ome
The young lady stood her ground. She
neveFnmoved an inch.
But the young mani He didn't stand
HIS ground. With M jump he was
out of the room Another took him in
to the street. Here he got his wind and
settled down to business add the last
seen of him was a long black streak
|cleaving the atmosphere, coat tails
straight out, hat of and going down
Main street at the rate of 80 miles an
hour.
Now there are many different people
waiting for Henry Twyford, and, clever
lawyer though he is, many kinds OF ven-
gance will fall on his devoted head
when opportunity offers.
And all Henry says is. "Vell, l heard
them talking so much about marrying l
certainly thought they intended to risk
it themselves"

The wooden Leg
Chicken

Rev. E.Allison, of Brevard says that's
mostly all true about the story of the
hen with the wooden leg. All except
the last paragraph.
We knew il, and now that we are vim
dictated by so eminent anS authority we
dare anyone to dispute our statements
again.
The wooden leg chicken lives on Rev.
Allson's place, in Brevard, and the
other hens. which at first refused to
associate with a peg leg. now do every
thing possible for its comfort, bringing
it moe fab worms and other hen delica.

HEAVY ORDERS FoR CARS.
All the Railroad Systems Are Seeking
New Equipment.

The Railroad Gazette says Of the
activity in railroad circles and of the
demand for new equipment:
Completed plans OF railroad engi-
neers and OF architects call for fully
100000 tons OF fabricated steel, al
though this will be distributed by
contracts over two full years. Fully
10000 tons of steel, however, have
been ordered since the first OF the
year, including large orders from the
Norfolk & Western railroad, and the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul.
Very large orders are in sight from
engineers and architects for Manhat-
tan island alone, as upwards of 15O.-
600 tons Of steel will be needed here
during the present year-so great is
the need for building and tunnel
work
Among the railroads It Is noticed
that comparatively few orders are be-
ing placed for steel for bridges or
rails, but on the other hand, the or
ders are running very heavy for cars.
Since the first of the year contracts
nave been placed by various lines for
over 10000 cars, the business being
distributed among the leading steel
companies.

The Walla Walla Bulletin says of
the resumption of the train service
on the o. r. & n. and w. & C. r. into

The first train in 10 days left over

having been secured to run the engine
to the junction, where more fuel will
be obtained. BY the first of the week
all lines will be open.
On the w. & c. r. all trains are
running with the exception of the
Pendleton branch. There are several
large crews at work on this line and
the officials promise trains in day
or two. No, was held at Pasco this

NORTH DAKOTA sNowBoUND.
Cattle and People Suffering on short

Bismark, N. D., Feb. 16.-The Sc
we're weather in North Dakota is the
worst within the memory of any of
the settlers and unless some change
takes place withih the next few DAYS
the consequences will be very grave.
Freight trains are backed on all sid
ings and food supplies cut off. On
the 500 road no trains have arrived
at Max for thre weeks and no mail
has been received for 13 days. The
town is practically cut off. At Gar

flour is exhausted and there are no

the alarming condition that confronts
them and are endeavoring to secure
aid to avert a possible absolute lack

Cattle all over the northern part of

and as the supply Of cattle food Is
nearly exhausted, the government VIII

road Work Alone.

Winnipeg, Feb. 16.-The board OF
trade estimates that upwards of co.
600 men will be required for railway
work in western Canada during the
coming summer. Where this large
force of workmen is to be obtained is
the question which is giving concern
to contractors who are anxious to
complete the contracts already un-
dertaken.
The information that so manv
workmen will be required and that
they will be paid high wages, is well
come news to the agents engaged in
the work Of inducing immigration,
and to those who are interested in
the growth and progress of western
Canada.
At the lowest estimate the Canadian
Northern company will require 10000
men and they have entered into nego-
tiations with all the labor bureaus in
the United States for a supply and
on the line being built from here to
Portage la Prairie another 10000 will
find work.

PROGRESS OF BURFoRD CASE.
Divorce Suit Proves Interesting to a
Small Crowd,

The divorce case of w. D. Burford
against Mrs. Rena Burford has been
on trial in the circuit court today,
and It has been followed with inter-
est by small crowd of spectators in
the room. Both the plaintiff, who is
the local telephone manager, and his
wife have been present in person, Mrs.
Burford having come from Indiana
for the purpose of fighting the case.
For the plaintiff ]. T. Hinkle is the
| leading attorney, while the side of
Mrs. Burford is being upheld by
Judge S. A. Lowell.
This afternoon Burford was Upon
the stand and was cross examined at
length by Judge Lowell In the
course of the examination it was de-
veloped that when the Burfords sep
arated a few years ago AT Billings,
Mont, an agreement regarding the
separation was made with his wife by
Burford. BY the terms of the same
he was to pay her $40 a month for
IA months and also to keep up his
life Insurance, which was in her IA
Vor. On the stand he admitted he had
made only five monthly payments out
of the IA, and that he had failed to
continue his life insurance in favor of
his wife.
In response to questions Burford
also admitted a somewhat extensive
acquaintance with a woman named
Castle who was serving as a box rus
tier in vaudeville theater in Billings.
However, he declared there had
never been any conversation regard
Ing the woman between himself and
wife except when the subject was |
broached by Mrs. Burford.
AS the divorce case appears to be |
closely contested, 1t is impossible to
say when the conclusion will be
reached
