| On Friday, April 21st, Mrs.
Mason entertained a number of
guests at an elaborate dinner
party in honor of her own and
Miss Nellie Williams birthday.
There were sixteen present and
everyone reports an excellent
time, although they were all dis
appointed when they found that
Mrs. Mason had neglected to put
the candles on her birthday cake.
Miss Nellie Williams was
hostess to twenty, five or thirty
of her little friends Friday after
noon at birthday party. The
hours were from 2:30 to 5, and
the time was pleasantly spent in
juvenile games of all kinds. The
mother of the little hostess, as
sisted by Mrs. Mason, served a
very dainty luncheon at the close
of the afternoon. Nellie was the
recipient of many pretty birth
day presents.
Mrs. Chas. Isenhart died Mon
day. April 17th. She had been

The troubles flowing from the
business disagreement and per-
sonal encounter between George
Pope and Ed Ogilvie mentioned
several weeks ago, are proceed
ing apace. During the past
week Pope filed charges against
Ogilvie containing four counts of
burglary and larceny. Ogilvie
has begun proceedings to sell the
burros he was taking care of,
claiming that about $500 is due
him, while Pope claims that the
debt cannot be more than 500.
Ogilvie's preliminary hearing on
the felony charges came up in
justice court at McIntosh Mon
day, but trial was deferred pend
ing an effort by the attorneys to
have the matter of Ogilvie's
claim arbitrated. 1t would be a
very fine thing for both parties
to the dispute and the taxpayers
of the county if the whole thing
could be wiped off the slate.
