Fred Whistled and Smiled.
A merry little fellow of about thirty
years of age, got off the train this
morning, wearing a smile that would
thaw a hole in a cake of ice, and whist
ling the merriest of tunes, as he saunt
ered around the Burlington station, but
he would not so much as tell where he
was from or what was his business,
but whistled away. He went up town
and glancing at the building as he
went, noticed the court house and in
less time than it takes to tell it, he was
in the county judge's office and had
made application for a marriage license.
It was granted and he gave his name
as Fred L. Blair, from Fremont, and
permission was given for him to wed
Miss Mable C. Dickenson, of Elmwood,
not so old as he by two years. He was
seen later at the Riley Hotel still
whistling and wearing the same smile,
seemingly very happy.

and spying his hoboship departing called
the police and sent him after the mis
creant. The officer, Mr. Ben Rainey, of the
night force, soon overhauled his tramp
ship and made his disgorge. In order
to save the county costs, Ben adminis
tered the judgment hanging over the
thief, in a way which will compel him
to eat standing up, and fired him out of
town.

Over High Bank.
Last Saturday night, L. Johnson, an
