The marriage license bureau of an

Three New York men were arrested
on the charge of stealing a team Of
horses and a hearse. We might un-
derstand the motive for stealing the
horses, but what did they want with
the hearse in these days of speed
when even a corpse has no standing
at all in the community unless taken
to its last resting place in high
powered motor hearse at forty miles
an hour. They must have taken it
just to be doing something.

clerk here. which position he has held
for a year or more. The many friends
of the Mawhinney family regret to
see them leave this community but
wish them SUCCESS in their new loca-

The sight of well-dressed man
with heavy rope tied around his
neck being led along a busy street at
the noon hour BY another well-dressed
man. would ordinarily appear to be a
small boy stunt bordering on insanity;
but when such is the result of an elec-
tion bet. there is humor to it. How
ever. such an act was staged by two
railroad men in an Illinois city re-
Gently. at which time parade was
formed, the leading newspaper sent a
reporter to get the story and a full
account of the affair appeared in the
evening edition. The average Amer
ican is the gamest person alive when
it comes to paying freak election
bet.
