An EIOnement

Two Milbapk families were
plunged into the deepest anxiety
last Sunday when it was dis.
covered that mem Der from each
household was missing, one of
Inc missing ones being lad
and the other a lassle. The
young folks had formed a liking
for each other. had been
very friendly, even on lntl-
mate terms, it was well known.
and had been much together of
late, but friends had not even
dreamed that the attachment was
OF more than a platonic nature,
or that any other thoughts than
simply that OF being in congeniaI
company had taken possession of
the minds of the young people.
Imagine the surprise and anxiety
OF two mothers ana friends when
it was discover ed that both of
the young people were missing
and their whereabouts could not
be traced, and that they had been
in each others company when
last seen. Strict search and due
inquiry was at once instituted,
but no trace of the missing pair
could be found at any of their
usual haunts, and it was not until
anxiety had deepened into al.
most dreadful Ger tainty and a
more extended search was start
ed that the young couple we're
finally located in the west part of
the city, and assurances were
forthcoming that none of the
dreadful things had happened
which had filled the minds of
friends with terror. "As all is
we'll that ends we]l' there can
be no harm in giving the names
OF the young people who caused
so much CONSERVATION to their
friends. The young lady was Miss
Ruth Riley, aged three years, and
the young Lochinvar was Charlie
Lettman, of the same number of
summers. A handsome red
wagon was in possession of the
young couple, and it rolled so
nicely over the cement side walks
tnat time and place was lost sight
OF as they travelled along, and it
took two hours of anxious search
to locate them.

To BE Wet

At the convening of court last
Tuesday afternoon after the roll
call of jury had been made and
some minor matters disposed of.
Judge McNulty took up the city
license vote case, and the matter
was presented by Attorney Bab-
cock for the license side, who
held that the law had been SUBJ
stantially complied with in the
vote on the question and that the
ballots marked with the cross in
the square to the left of the word
Eyes and mo" we're properly
counted by the convassing board.
Mr.. Xix made the plea for the
no-license side, and contecded
that the law should be complied
with to secure a favorable vote
on license, and cited number
of decisions from several states
showing that a strict adherence
70 the provisions of the law was
demanded. Mr.. Bouck on be-
half OF the city council gave the
closing argument, and contended
that the disputed votes, where
the intent of the voter was clear.
ly manifest, should be counted,
and that the city council very
properly made the count of these
votes. Judge McNulty in rend.
ering decision cited the supreme
court decision holding that the
form OF ballot had not been pres
crlbed in the amended license
law, and stated that courts were
generally reluctant to reject
votes on technical grounds un.
less compelled to do so by the
law. The decision thus settles
the license question for another
year unless an appeal is taken.
Whatever opinion may be held
individually as to the advisa-
bllity of license, all good cit.
liens will be glad to see the
matter settled without a long
drawn out legal coatest in which
personal bitterness would be
engendered and continual strife
fomented. The campaigns tn
fore election are long enouHl, f,r
