Travellers from Pennington Las st
Saturday reported that a big red
automobile had been burned up
on the road about three miles east
of Iron Mountain the day before.
We have since learned that the
automobile belonged to one of the
Parsons at Bonnie Terre and is
said to have been 9 high-priced
machine, costing in the neighbour
hood of $4,000.
About thirty copies of the REG
lister that we mailed last We'd
nesday were returned to US in the
mail the following day because
there were no addresses thereon.
How the label was rubbed off of
SO many of them we gre at a COM
plete loss to understand. We had
no means of knowing to whom the
papers had been first addressed or
we would have re-mailed them.
We make mention of the matter so
that those of our subscribers who
did not get their paper last week
will understand that the fault was
not ours.
From a circular letter issued by

The prosecuting witness in the
case against w. G. Perkins,
charged with assault with intent
to rape, failed to appear when the
case was called in Justice Rasche's
court last Thursday and the de-
PENDANT was discharged. Prescott
ing Attorney Damron tells us that
he has since received a letter from
Mr.. Price, who is the uncle of the
little girl who is the prosecuting
witness in the case, stating that
the child has been quite sick for
a number Of days and al soon as
she is able she will appear here
to give her testimony.

Disguised me. am a temperance

Last Wednesday night some
miscreant broke up the Baptist
prayer-meeting by throwing three
or four rotten eggs through an
open window into the church.
Two ladies and one male member
were struck by the missiles. Con-
sternation followed and the even
ing service came to an abrupt end.
1t is an act SO dastardly and in
famous that one cannot UNDER
stand the heart of him who con-
ceived it. Whatever the impelling
motive, or by whom instigated, it
is a crime that disgraces the COM
munity, and | trust that discovery
and swift and condign punish
ment awaits the perpetrator.
Clark Bros Show drove into
Ironton in a %drenching rain last
Saturday morning about eight
o'clock. The drive had been made
from Pennington and the outfit
did not make a progressing APP
%pearance. The skies cleared to-
ward noon, however, and a per-
Torrance was given in the after
noon. The attendance was not SO
large as would have been had the
weather been more favorable. To
avoid the payment of city license
the tents we're pitched in the
company field" across the rail-
road tracks, and rather than pay
Sc for the privilege of parading the
streets that portion of the pro-
gramme was abandoned. During
the evening performance there
was a terrible down-pour of rain
and water went through portions
of the canvas as if it were a sieve,
resulting in considerable discom-
fort to the several hundred people
in attendance. Next morning the
caravan wendell it's way out of the
city on the long, rough and tire
some drive through the hills to
Fredericktown where the show
was billed for Monday.
