George Graney, who purchased
! the large "Yale" motorcycle from
DR.. j. w. Gibson, met with smash
up near the asylum that resulted in a
lucky escape for the rider. Graney
was just learning to run the motor
! cycle; he did not know all of the con-
trolls of the machine and while at
| tempting to turn a corner near the
asylum at high rate of speed, he
lost control of the machine and crash
! ed into large gate. No injury was
done either to rider or machine but a
large brace was torn from the fence.
Mrs. Althea Kilbourne of
Atlantic City, N. j., in RENTING for
The Herald for another year, says !:
cit is thirteen years since l came
east, but l could not afford to do
without my old home paper. My
mother was one of the early settlers
of Grant county, and her children,
though now living in widely separat-
ed sections of the U. S., will never
forget their old home in Lancaster
nor the many good friends who made
it so dear
Mrs. E. M. Lowry and daughter
Elizabeth left on the afternoon train,
Wednesday, after a few days visit
with Lancaster friends, Mrs. Lowry
going back to Champaign, ILL.,, and
Miss Lowry to New Orleans. 1t is
announced that the formers son,
Maj. Ted'' P. Lowry, now stationed
at Panama, where he holds military
position for the U. S. government, is
to beHmarried within a few days to
pretty young nurse in one of the
government hospitals, and Mrs. Lowry
expects to give up her position at
Champaign, shortly, to go to Panama,
where she can be with the young
couple for awhile. Later she thinks
she may locate at New Orleans.
Surely C. w. Burrows ought to
! be looked upon as truly and fully
entitled to the office of justice of the
peace in this city. He was a hold
over justice at the time Of the spring
election, having one year yet to serve
of the term for which was elected
two years ago. No candidates were
nominated for that office this spring
| and no name for such appeared upon
the city ballots. In spite of that
fact Mr.. Burrows, who was already
a justice, received enough votes to
elect him to that office both for the
short term and to fill a vacancy.
However, Charley thinks his present
incumbency is sufficient to satisfy
his modest ambition and lust for
, office and he will let it go at that.
Hon. David Schreiner was also elect
ed justice at this election but re-
peats the announcement made some
weeks ago that he does not want the
office and will not qualify for same.
