Leslie F. 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."
William T. Long.
William T. Long was born in Ripley
county, Indiana, July 30, 1841, and died
at his home near Murray, Neb., April
20, 1903. He had been sick for some
time, but appeared better on the morn
ing and until the afternoon of April 20.
About 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon,
however, he quietly passed a war. He
was married to Sarah A. Taylor, 'May
8, 18GS. To them were born five chil

the loss of a husband and father: Mrs.
Minnie H. Stokes of Mynard, Mrs. Ad

Mr. Long united with the Methodist
Episcopal church of Roxville, Ind., at
fifteen years of age.
The funeral service was conducted in

Wednesday, April 22, at 11 a. m., by
A. E. Wachtel, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church of Mynard. The body
was laid to rest in the Horning ceme
tery. Many friends mourn the loss of a
good neighbor and friend, and sympa
thize with the sorrowing family in the
greater loss to them.

wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs.
Brendel, and as a little remembrance

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.
