pie. The bnde was becomingly gown
ed in blue, trimmed in white. An elab-
crate marriage feast furnished by the

The Conductor Didn't Wait

There was a disappointed Thanksgiv-
ing hunting party (in sechons) last Thurs
day morning. Seward |. Field and fam
lily and c. NJ. Johnson and Miss Zella
Thomas had an invitation to spend the
holiday at Green Adams ranch near
Sun City, and they arranged to spend a
few days hunting while enjoying MIR.
Adams hospitality. But they met with
many obstacles. The bus had many
calls for the $50 train and had to make
two trips. Chas. Johnson and Kendall
Field and the dogs got in on the ground
floor and made the train in good time
but Mr.. and Mrs. Field and Miss
Thomas were on the second load and
lost out The train pulled out just as
they got to the crossing near the depot.
Mr.. Johnson who was on the train used
all the strategy he could command to
induce the conductor to wait 80 seconds
but the stern conductor refused to listen
The ones left behind were good people
and, Of course. there was no profanity
but they expressed themselves in other
ways. The livery teams were all ou,
and for a time they were disheartened
but finally they succeeded in getting J.
P. Thomas team and they got to the
ranch in time for dinner, but it spoiled a
days hunting.
Miss Thomas returned home Saturday
and the rest or the party Monday and
Tuesday.

Trice & Son Not Bankrupt

After the Index reached Sharon last
Wednesday T. II. Trice called up the
publishers and informed them that the re-
port published to the effect that they had
filed petition in voluntary bankruptcy
was mistake. The report gained circu-
lation by reason Of the fact that Tnce &
Son were behind with their collections
and consequently there were many un-
paid bills. The houses which they owed
became uneasy and made demands with
the result that the parties were in confer
ence practically all of last week. On Sat
urday definite agreement was reached
by which the creditors Of Trice & Son
gave them an extension Of time and there
is no further doubt that they will more
than pay out. The invoice taken shows
the resources, including real estate, to be
between $4,000 and $4,000 above the
Indebtedness and when this was brought
to the attention Of the creditors they read
lily made concessions. Had they insist
ed on immediate settlement, both parties
would have had to make sacrifices.
We are glad to know that the diff
Guilty has been overcome. Tnce & Son
are among the oldest and most substan-
tial firms in Barber county and while the
present financial crisis has affected them,
with little patience on the part Of cred
itors, they will be able to meet every
claim dollar for dollar.

Samuel Griffin departed for Hastings,
Nebraska, last Thursday where he will
represent Arthur ModGn, at one time a
farm laborer in Eagle township, in a
5000 damage suit. Modlm was bad
ly crippled by falling elevator In large
hardware and implement store at Hast
ings about two years ago. He has lost
the use Of both legs and sustained inter-
nal injuries from which he will never full
ly recover. The elevator was old and
out of date and without the customary
safety devices and MIR. Griffin is conf
dent that he will be able to prove gross
negligence on the part Of the owner and
recover heavy damages. The attorneys
for the defense are fighting for continu-
ance but as the case has now been pend
ing for more than year it will probably
come to trial at the present term of court
now in session at Hastings.
