of the attempt upon the lives of Vir-

length of fast burning fuse which

officers could return from a still

Baby Has Narrow Escape

The little infant son of Mr.. and
MRS. Chas. Greenley had a narrow
escape from serious injury Thursday
evening about eight o'clock. Mrs.
Greenley had the baby out in its
carriage, stopping in front of the
Ben Bear Clothing Co. store. She
parked the buggy near the store
window, and stepped over to the
drinking fountain at the edge of
the walk in front of the store. In
the meantime something started the
baby buggy moving, and before Mrs.
Greenly could reach it, it had back
ed off the walk, falling onto the
brick pavement. The fact of the
top being up saved the child from
serious injury, as the child fell back
into the top, and when the buggy
struck the pavement the little fel-
low was thrown out onto the bricks.
Several slight scratches on his face
was the only injury he sustained.

A very pretty wedding took place
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Hoverson, Wednesday, June Sth,
when their daughter, Thora. was
united in marriage to George Attic
tweed. The wedding was solemnized
at noon, and just before the wedding

Mrs. Thor Plomason sang, "Oh,
Promise Me-"
Miss Evelyn, sister of the bride,
accompanied her sister down the
broad stair case and were met at the
foot of the stairs by the groom and
best man, Alvin Hoverson. The par
ty then proceeded to a beautiful
pink and white bower in the draw

ceremony in very impressive man.
ner.
The bride was beautifully gowned
in white georgette and satin and
wore a bridal veil and carried a
large shower boquet of white roses
and lilies of the valley. Miss Hover
son, her bridesmaid, was becomingly
gowned in pink satin and carried
pink carnations. The groom wore
the conventional black.
Immediately after the ceremony
the guests were ushered into the
dining room, which was lastly
trimmed in pink and white stream
ers and flowers. Covers were laid
for forty and dainty luncheon was
served.
For travel Mrs. Attetweed wore
a dark suit with hat to match and
Georges "going away gown" was a

short visit, then going on a camping
trip up the Puget Sound country,
later visiting the southern coast cit

July 1st, after which they will make
their home in Beach.

The Speed Enforcement

The enforcement of the automobile
laws is some job, and nearly every
city and town has its troubles. Some
of those birds who sail through the
residence district at all hours of the
night, with the cut out screeching,
need about 60 days in solitary con-
finement.
The independence Bulletin Journal
has the following to say on the mat
ter of enforcing the speed laws:
There is some tendency to criticise
the city administration for rigidly en-
forcing the speed law, and the pinch
ing Sunday evening of a truck load
of Vintonites has been mentioned to
Us. We happened to see that big
truck as it careened south on Third
avenue and desire to say that it was
going so fast the driver could not
possibly have controlled it in a sud-
den emergency. There are many chill
dren on the street.
Independence people feel very
strongly on this speed question and
they have ample reason for it. They
remember the little Leach boy, who
was sent to an early grave, and Mrs.
Soper, who was to all intents MUIR
dered. They also know that while
our own people are trying to be
decent, smart Alexis who go through
here delight in showing off, especi-
ally if they are from some city. As
some Of them have put it, they want
to give the rubes a touch of high
life. If the driver from Dubuque
or Waterloo does not want to obey
the law in independence as ne would
have to at home we are in favor of
his paying for the privilege.

Butcher Beats Undertaken

There is an undertaken in DEBORAH,
who has had the reputation of be-
ing one of the best horse shoe
pitchers in Winneshiek. In fact, he
says that such experts as E. X. How
den, A. E. Kenyon, Frank Heading
ton, L. G. McConaty, l.. Bruflodt
and few others here are easy pick
ing for him. In fact, so easy, that
he tired of challenging them, and
so picked on a poor, innocent but
cher, one of those fellows who gets
accused occasionally of slipping a
steak over from the vicinity of the
horns, and makes you feel that it is
one of his choice porterhouses. Of
course, the writer never believed any
thing like that about him, but we
believe the undertaken had a griev-
ance, so he challenged him to a
little game of horseshoes, just to get
even. The only rings the butcher
ever threw were bologna, but he
accepted the challenge, and it took
three games to prove that the I'M
dertaker wasn't in it, the butcher
winning all three by a good margin.
The game was played in the first
ward, near the homes of Henry Ness
and liver Ringdahl.

New Street Markers Here

The City Of DEBORAH received ten
new oval shaped cement street inter
section markers last Friday. The
blocks weigh lao pounds. A car
can bump over them nicely, without
any injury to the car, but a driver
will do his best to avoid striking
them, and we believe they will work
in good shape.

seconded that rules be suspended
and the report of the committee and

made at this meeting, and all rules
interfering were declared suspended.
Resolution carried.
Besides their acrobatic stunt the
council did transact some business,
pertaining to the purchase of the
plants of the Water company and

that an error was made in the
proceedings heretofore passed,
wherein the. Council passed the re-
solution before the same was pub
lished in the official papers, and
the City Attorney held that this
might invalidate the proceedings and
for this reason the question was
again brought up in form of a
resolution, which was passed, and
after publication the Council will
meet again for the adoption of the
resolution, and the question will be
re-submitted to the voters at the
regular spring election. This ques-

ent occasions, and this will make the

MRS. HARMON
 TOBE ELECTED
IS CONSIDERED ALMOST A GER TAINTY AS PHILLIPS COUN.
 TY TREASURER.

That Mrs, Amos harmon in all prob ability will be elected treasurer of Phillips county, succeeding to the office held by her late husband. was the be lief expressed yesterday by residents of the county who were in Little Rock. The county treasurers office has been the subject of wrangle for the past four months, and the matter is now in the Phillips county courts.
 Al C. Harraway was appointed by Acting Governor Ben E. McFerrin to fill the unexpired vacancy in the first term of Mir. harmon when the latter resigned because of ill health. The ap- pointment was made over the protest of Governor Brough who, when Mr. harmon dsed few weeks later. ap- pointed E. F. Dennison. MT. Harroway. however, continued in office, contend ing that his appointment extended un- til his successor was qualified or elect ed and that MT. Dennison had not prop erly qualified. This matter is now before the Phillips county circuit court.
 Upon accession to office of Governor McRae special election was called for May 24 Mrs. harmon. widow of the late treasurer, was a candidate for the office held by her husband, and has qualified as a candidate. Resi- dents of Helena who were here yester- day, said that there may be other can ddates it is not probable, and that Mrs. harmon is the only candidate who has filed so far. No candidates will be per m;tted to qualify after May 9, and if Mrs. Jarmon is the only candidate she will be declared treasurer by the county central committee and no election will be ecssary.-Gaztte.
