TRAGEDY
NARROWLY
AVERTED
Two Citizens of Caldwell
Meet in Alley and
Mix Things.

Early yesterday morning two promi
nent citizens of Caldwell, whose names
we will suppress ior the present, met in
an alley through which each generally
passed on his way to his domicile
They had met earlier in the night, as
both we're among a crowd that watched
the Old Year out and the New Year in,
but no one neard anything pass between
them. In fact, no cause for enmity is
yet known, and Caldwell people have
always believed them to be the best OF
friends. But upon meeting and recog-
nlzing each other in the alley, each with
a lightning-like movement reached for
his hip pocket. The motions were sim
ultaneous, and each paused moment
before drawing. Finally one said to the
other:
"What brand you got9"
"Sunnybrook. What's yours7"
"Cedarbrook.
'Gcod. Let's sample both"
And they did. And they then de-
parted for their separate homes for not
vet a little while. Thus again did the
Happy New Year unite in blissful spirit
1.-TWO souls with but single thought,
Two pints-both empty now.

two roads and is less htlly, and even
now is in better condition than the

J l.. Wagner defended the Marietta :
Hartland road. He claimed that the
north road had long stretches of sand,
and that while only twelve families
lived along it. twenty-eight families
lived on the Marietta Hartland road.
Another argument was that the north
road would be from only two miles to
one and one-half miles distant from
the Indian bridge road
