HailGapJiirss a Prize Package in Oklahoma. The Journal has just received a letter from its old friend, Charles S. Stone, datod Lambert, Oklahoma, in which he apprises us of the marriage of Leslie F. Hall, formerly of Murray, to Miss Dollie Young, of Lambert, which event occurred in Oklahoma City, on Wednes day, April 22, 1908. The announcement of the happy event will no doubt be a surprise to Mr. Hall's many friends in Cass county. Most assurredly it is to the Journal. The bride and groom, it seems, took snap judgment on their friends, and hied themselves to Okla homa City, where the words were said that made them happy. The groom was formerly assistant cashier of the Mur ray State bank, where he has hosts of friends, which he obtained by his many social and gentlemenly ways. The young lady with whom he will here after dwell in harmony and peace until death asunders the ties, is said to be a most charming little lady not only charming, but very accomplished and handsome. The happy couple will re turn to Lambert after a short honey moon trip, where they will make their future home. The groom went to Lambert about a year ago and became cashier of the Farmer's bank of that city, and from his well-known genial qualities has made many friends and where the bank with which he is connected, is doing a splen did business. Everyone who knows Less Hall joins the Journal in wishing him and Mrs. Hall all the happiness that can possibly be in store for them, and if any troubles should overtake them, may they be "little ones."

FRACTIOUS HOUSES CAUSE TROUBLE While Unloading Milk ai Hur WngU on Station This Morning, Martin Steppet, a farmer northwest of the city, who every morning brings milk to the Burlington station for ship ment, was in the performance of his usual occupation, when he had some exciting experence. M. Steppet is the lover of a good driving team, and has a span of western horses which have the fire of the prairies in their veins. This morning, as usual, he came in with his load of milk, and knowing that he had a fiery pair of steeds, secured A. Hertzler to go with him. They drove down to the station and had unloaded the milk, and Mr. Steppet having got ten into the wagon, - when someone closed a door or turned over a trunk, which frightened the horses, when they made a forward lunge, at which Mr. Steppet jumped out of the wagon to run to the horses heads, but they were away, although Mr.. Hertzler was still swinging on the lines with all his weight, making a bolt for the park fence which the vaulted dragging the wagon partly across and bending the iron of the top of the fence, and break ing away the posts as well as the double-trees and neckyoke of the wagon. Mr. Hertzler still held to the lines and prevented the horses from getting entirely away, until Mr. Step pet had ran up and also gotten hold of the lines. After a few moments with the aid a nnmber of bystanders they were quieted down and the wagon re moved. The damage done was rather small, but the excitement for a moment was great. Many has "been the time that this team has caused the spilling of a can of milk. This fiery steeds and railroad work do not go altogether.
