Evening Of Their Arrival
Stolen by Friends.

When Attorney B. ]. Williams re-
turned to the home of w. A. Thomp-
son last evening where he was to
end the night, he found to his dis
.hay that his wife was not at the
gate to meet him. He searched the
house. She wasn't there. His alarm
increased. She was gone.
Had she been kidnapped or had
she wandered off and gotten lost in
the mazes of the city? 1t was not
until late in the evening that his
worst fears were allayed and he was
informed by telephone that she was
among friends" The bride had
been stolen by the friends of the
groom.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams had ar
rived from York, Nebraska, on the
delayed train from the east. His

just a misunderstanding.

An amusing mixup occurred last
night, involving tenderfoot, two
or three old-timers, an agile cayuse
and Constable Simmons
Melvin Krauss, late arrival from
the east and known to the kids of
the comn:auity as Chicago" owned
a horse.
Chicago" is partial to ready mon
ey and decided to cash in on the
cayuse, so he sold the mouse colored
animal to F. E. Ping. The horse
in question had in the meantime
been brought down town by Krauss
and tied to a hitchpole. While
Krauss was temporarily absent Bert
Courtway came along and bought
the horse from Ping. Then Krauss
showed up. and not knowing that
the cayuse had been again transfer
red. mounted his quodam charger
and rode away, tying the animal
again further down the street.
When the last buyer showed up
and found his horse missing. Con-
stable Simmons was drawn into the
confusion and took Krauss' trail
through town.
Explanations followed and every
thing was lovely.
