1t gives us much pain to 8 nounce
that Hold Quigley, one of our most res
pected citizens, a man of considerable
means. member of the BingvilIe
church and candidate for town cons
table at the spring election has got him
self into awful mess.
Miss Matiidy Green says she is a.
going to prosecute Hold for damages for
breach of promise Miss Matildy is also
a Bingville citizeness, who has lived in
our midst for the last 43 years, having
been horned and raised in Bingville.
She lives by herself alone, including a
cat which she sets much store by and
says il cheers up her lonesome life.
We hate to chronicle SIGH horrible
scandals as this in the BuEle. but it
can't be helped--we must tell the truth
once in while, whether we want to
or not.
Well, according to the facts In the
case which has leaked out and trav-
elled over Bingville like wild-fre, Hod
first took shine to Miss Matildy about
seven years ago. Hold wasn't very en-
thusiastic in his sparkin at first. About
all he done during the first two years
was to say, "Howdy do, Matildy," when
he met her anywheres, but Hold said ii in
such way that you could see his in
tentions was serious and Miss Matildy
thought they was also honorable. Bye
and by Hold begin TO drop into Miss
Matildy's on Saturday evenings to chat
a bit. Then folks said it was match
and that they would hitch up sure.
Matildy tied a blue ribbon around the
cats neck and the neighbors could even
hear her a-singin' at her work some
times.
But about 2 weeks ago Hold stopped
a-sparkin Miss Matildy and one day last
week Miss Matildy went before Anne
Hillyer, our J. of p. and legal light,
and told him the pitiful story of her
past. She said Hold had often held her
hand for 2 hours at a time while she
set on the settee with her head on his
manly buzzum. She said Hold didn't
talk much but once when he went to
say good night he grabbed her into his
arms and Rugged her so hard that he
broke whalebone in her corset. Then
he kissed her on the nose and hollered,
"Oh, Matildyp and run out of the door.
Lawyer Hillyer asked Matildy to
please state whether or not Hold had
ever asked her right out to be hisn',
Matildy said no he hadn't in just so
many words, but that 1t was understood
betwixt them that they was to be spliced.
She said the only reason Hold hadn't
asked her to marry him was because he
was skeered to and that she had tried
to get him to pop time and again, but
that he allus got-o of breth at the last
minnit and tux his hat and Lit out for
home like CREASED lightnin.
Matildy also said that Hold had dam
aged her affections, tranpcd on herpoor
heart, blasted her lonesome life and had
took all of the sunshine out of her
soul. Judge Hiilyef wanted to know
about how much money would repair
this damage and Matildy asked him II
he thought SIS was too much. Ame
said nc It wasn't and advised Matildy 10
sue Hod accordin which she says she
will do.
Hold hisself is dreadful worked up
by the skandal which has been brought
agin his fair name. He says when the
case comes to trial he Is a-going to tr;
to prove that he thought Matiidy had
$500 in her own name until 2 weeks ago
when he found out different witch was
Why he dropped her so suddint
