The old saying, "War and Rumors of

Rumer means just what he advertises.

Talk about an American soldier seal i or

rabbit, climbed to the top of the stand

couraged. Bishop Graves of Cheyenne visited this

Saint Matthew's Episcopal church, assisted

ON WITH THE DANCE
everything In Readiness for tho
R. D. B. Event This Evening.
At last the anxiously awaited hour is at
hand wheu this community will realize the
fulfillment of tho much-talkcd-of event of
the social season. This very night,, when
darkness shall have cast its mnnttc oyer
mother earth, brave knights and fair
maidens will be gathered together in the
spacious ball room of the new Zbinden
Miller block, where happiness will reign
supreme and lovers of the light fantastic
trip enjoy the mazy wait to time of en
chanting music.
The B. B. B, have been at work for sev
cral days in decorating the ball room and
the artistic taste of the committee has
transformed the place into a fairy land,
such as Cindcrilla found on that eventful
night when, in such haste, she left behind
the tiny glass slipper that caused such
commotion.
The large room is elaborately decorated
with bunting and beautiful pictures and
in one corner of the ball room tlio guests
will be served from a punch bowl over
flowing w"lth the delicious nectar. To the
center of the hall festoons of ribbon meet'
from the the four corners nnd under the,
arched canopy the dancers will enjoy the
evening's whilr. To the west of the room
Moore and Spacht's orchestras will occupy
an elevated platform, and the musical pro
gram will be one of the important features
of this claborato affair,
The spacious store room beneath the
hall has been cosily arranged, and here the
merry guests of B. B. 13. 's will be served
with delicious refreshments.
Following is a list officers and committees
in charge of the social affair:
W. B. Tagg, chairman; E. C Mc
Clure, secretary: Geo. Darling, treasurer.

Collision in Which Two are Killed. ,'
It s the same old story of two sections of
a train trying to pass each other on the
same track, with the usual result, human
jives lost, others injured and a pile of
wreckage heaped upon the track in every
imaginable shape.
This was the experience of freight trains
No. 46, which was composed of two sec
tions, Monday morning, near Mason. The
cause of the collision can, perhaps, be bet
ter explained by the railroad company, but
it is said that the heavy sleet and snow
prevailing at the time made it impossible
for Engineer Reeder of the second section
to see the train ahead until too late to avert
the collision. Both engineer and fireman
jumped in time to escape the wreck.
Conductor Conn of the first section saw
the impending danger and gave the alarm
to the stockmen who were in the way car.
Realizing that there was something wrong
and that a collision was probable, the pas
sengers got out on the platforms and most
of them jumped, but R. E. Larkins of
Brush, Colo., and Thomas Dye of Eugene,
Ore., who were elderly men and afraid to
jump from the first-moving train. They
were both caught in the wreck and
killed. One of them was picked up in the
middle of the track mangled almost be
yond recognition. The other man was run
over by the wheels and badly cut up, but
was not instantly killed. He never re
gained consciousness and died an hour or
two after the accident. The other pas
sengers, among them being Ralph Taylor
of Hyannis, R. R. Kinkaid of Bingham
and Ed Eldred and Charles Avery, who
reside south of Alliance, received more or
less injuries due to jumping, from the train.
The last two named escaped with but a
few scratches.

Dr. Mitchell took his departure Monday
night for his home at Newport, Pa., and
may decide to remain there. The doctor
was pleased with Alliance and the practice
he has enjoyed here but his wife and

sume his practice in the Keystone state.
Rood-Thompson., ,
A quiet wedding took place at the home
of Mrs. M, Hood in Box Butte precinct,
When Miss Addie Hood was united in
marriage to Mr. Eugene Thompson. The
ceremony was performed at noon by Rev,
C. H. Burleigh of the M. E. church of
Hemingford, the Episcopal ceremony being
read. Only a few relatives and friends
were present, those being Mrs. Hood,
mother of the bride, Charles and Carrie
Thompson, brother and sister of the
groom, and Mr. and Mrs. J. A, Mallery
and daughter Leone of this city.
A bountiful wedding dinner was served,
Many beautiful presents were received,
among them being a set of gold spoons,
each mounted with a gold nugget, a gift
from the bride's sister, Miss Alice Hood
of Skagway, Alaska, This present is made
more unique from the fact that Miss Hood
panned out the gold herself from which
the spoons were made She also sent the
groom a beautiful pin nugget.
The bride is the youngest daughter of
Mrs. Matilda Hood and a lady of many
accomplishments, being an excellent
musician and a favorite in social circles.
The groom is a young man of exemplary
character and one worthy the love bf such
an excellent helpmate. The Herald ex
tends congratulations and best wishes for
the young couple's future life.

Wm. Manchester Injured at Mitchell.
Another distressing railway accident oc
curred Inst Saturday, whereby a trust
worthy employe of the Burlington, William
Manchester, of this city, lost his left arm.
The mishap took place at Mitchell, on the
Guernsey lino, at 10 o'clock in the fore
noon. Manchester, who was brakqlng for
Conductor Perry, attempted to make a
coupling, which was defective. After sev
eral trials ho ventured too far and his
arm was caught between thu deadwobd of
the cars, crushing the member so severely
that amputation was necessary, Tho in
jured man was brought to this city in tho
evening nnd after n consultation by locnl
surgeons it was docided to take Manchester
to tho railway hospital at Chicago, where
every possible advantage could be given in
the hopo of saving tho arm. Assisted by
Dr. George and F. D. Kalcy ho was. taken
east Sunday morning, but before Lincoln
was reached the condition of tho injured
man grew worse and he was placed in the
Sulpho-Salino hospital at that plnpe and
on ndvlco of tho surgeons tho arm was
amputated just below the shoulder. Mr,
Manchester stood the ordeal with fortitude,
and it Is said ho shows every symptom of
speedy recovery. Mrs. Emma B. Man
chester, who residus at Lincoln, was at tho
depot to meet her son, and give htm that
caro and affection which only lies within
the power of a mother.
Mr. Manchester will receive pecuniary
assistance in tho sum of several hundred
dollars accident insurance, which is a
slight material assistance to ono in lift
condition',
