Marion WATSON ana his bride had
rather strenuous time in leaving
town after their marriage last Wednes-
day evening. A number of their friends
had planned to give them the usual
send-off when they started on their
wedding tour, and the bridal couple
were just as determined in their effort
to slip away from them and avoid the
rice shower and other things in store
for them, so they quietly charted Van
ostrand's automobile and gave the inn
preston that they were simply going
to the depot to take the train, but in.
stead made wild flight to get out of
town and escape to Osceola. Chase
was given with Ray Layton's and James
Harveys autos and say, all three ma
chimes surely exceeded the speed limit.
the race attracting people all along the
road who did not know what was nm.
The runaways were overtaken a few
miles north of town and stopped by
running another auto in front of them.
and they were not permitted to resume
their journey until it pleased the Gang.

groom, the operator thinking he was
assisting in an elopement.

poultry, and when in front Of the resi-

kicked over the tongue and commenced
kicking the other horse, SO they ran
away. The driver was on top of the
load and part of the load was thrown
out in front of w. W. Craig's residence,
Weaver falling off with the eggs and
chickens, but held to the lines and
he was dragging couple of blocks, the

John Gatchell, the eleven year old son
of D. E. Gatchell, had an experience
Monday afternoon which he will
probably never forget. With some
other boys he was playing near
the residence of Byron Hamilton
and one Of the boys discovered that a
bird had nest in hollow limb of
tree, so John climbed up the tree and
put his arm in the hole to get at the
nest which was quite Always in the limb.
In some manner he twisted his arm and
his elbow caught inside the hole and he
could not withdraw his arm. After try
ing all manner of means to release him
it was finally necessary to put rope
around him and then saw off the limb
and lower boy and limb to the ground
and then the limb was cut away and he
was released.
