Incitement in Murray.
Considerable excitement prevailed
on the streets of Murray Monday
night over the shooting a dog belong
ing to W. A. Scott, who resides over
the depot, and is the agent for the
M. P. railroad company who started
up town about 8 o'clock. Soon after
he left the station Mrs. Scott
thought of some purchases she wish
ed to make. She was accompanied
by her pet dog, a full blooded point
er. She was a nair a oiock away
from Mr. Scott, and when she reach
ed John Cook's harness shop, and
where a tall man, wearing a black
overcoat and hat stepped from con
cealment and fired a shot gun into
the dog, cutting off two of its legs.
The man in black drew his hat down
so as to conceal his identity and fled
with haste to the alley at the rear of
the harness shop and disappeared.
The dog being a trick dog, was
a favorite with everybody, and there
was considerable feeling among the
villagers when the news spread of
the dastardly crime.
Sufficient evidence has practically
been obtained to convict this man
with a criminal heart. Mr. Scott has
the counsel of the County Attorney,
upon this dastardly outrage up
on this law-abiding community
The penalty for this crime will be
$r0 and six months in jail.
Does This Interest You?
If so, please call and settle your
account with me, for I ave to do
the same with those I owe on the
first of the new year. Now please
do this and we will feel much hap

Year. Wishing you all health and
prosperity in 1909, I am

YOUNG PEO
PLE WED
Samuel J. Pitman and Miss Marie
Terrace Hennings United in
Marriage
From Wednesday's Daily.
Last night at 7:00 o'clock at the
home of the bride's mother, Mrs.
Rosa Hennings, on Vine street, oc
curred the marriage of her daughter
Terrace to Mr. Samuel . Pitman, one
of the young and enterprising busi
ness men of Murray. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. J. II.
Salisbury pastor of the Presbyterian
church and was the simple ring ser
vice. When Mr. B. A. McElwain be
gan the beautiful solo "Oh, Promise
Me" just as the clock in the court
house struck the hour of seven, the
guests became alert to the occasion
and everyone awaited with impa
tience the coming of the bride.
At the close of the solo Miss
Freda Herold began the strains of
Mendelsohn's majestic wedding
march; the door of, an adjoining
room was thrown open and the
groom on the arm of the officiating
minister appeared; they were fol
lowed immediately by Miss Christina
Schafer anr Mr. J. II. Merriam maid
of honor and best man, respectively;
then came the ring bearer in the per
son of little Miss Lucile Urish, cousin
of the bride; last and most important
came the bride on the arm of her
mother who gave her away. The
party took their positions under a
white wedding bell, falling from
which was a drapery of lace, over
thrown with festoons of holly and
evergreen wreathing. Here was
spoken the words and taken the vows
binding these two estimable people
"while they both live." The bride
wore her graduating gown, she be
ing a member of the Plattsmouth
high school class of 1906. It was a
gown of great beauty, being composed
of silk with lace insertion and dis
playing an endless amount of work
and art. A long silken sash or gir
dle lent added effectiveness to its ap
pearance, and the veil anchored with
jewels and orange blossoms was
draped gracefully over all. Her
traveling suit was of Copenhagen
blue. She carried a large bouquet
of white chrysanthemums. The
Maid of Honor wore white silk over a
green slip and carried pink chrysan
themums. The ring bearer was
dressed in white silk and was a per
fect picture of beauty as she bore
the golden circlet on a white chrys
anthemums to the altar on its bliss
ful mission.
Immediately following the con
gratulations by the friends and rela
tives present Mr. and Mrs. Pitman
led the way to the dining room where
was served a bountiful three course
luncheon. Here was to be seen the
touch of the decorator, the table be
ing caught with festoons of ever
green wreathing, dropping from the
center of the ceiling and holding in
its midst the two story wedding cake
before which sat the bride and the
groom while luncheon was served.,
after which the bride cut the cak
and distributed a piece to each of the
guests.
The contracting parties were the
recipients of many and useful gifts
as marks of the esteem in which they
are held by their large circle of
friends. They will make their home
in Murray where Mr. Pitman is a
member of the firm of Davis & Pit
man and where he has spent his en
tire life. Anticipating this signifi
cant step he has In progress of con
struction a splendid new home into
which thy soon expect to be "at
home" to their many friends. All
of whom wish them long life, health
and prosperity.
Owing to recent bereavement only
the hear relatives were included
among the guests.
The following from out of town
were present: Mrs. Anna Mumeper
of Alliance, Mr. John Goodnature,

CUPID IS IN
LINE AGAIN
Dr. J. F. Brendell and Miss Margaret
Jameson United in Marriage.
The Journal hail expected to give
an extended account of this happy
event ere this but jis another was ex
pected to write it up we have waited
its coming. Mrs. W. A. Davis, of
Weeping Water, kindly contributed
tlu? following, which is perhaps
more accurate account of the event
than we could have expected to have
given under all circumstances:
On Wednesday evening, December
23rd, 1908, at the M. C. church.
Weeping Water, occurred the mar
riage of Miss Margaret Jameson of
this city, to Dr. J. F. Brendel, of
Murray.
The decorations at the church
were potted plants and pure white
bells. Standing beneath a canopy of
bells, Mary Jameson, a sister of the
bride, sang very sweetly, "Call Me
Thine Own."
To the strains of a wedding march
played by Miss Ida Morse, the bridal
arty entered the church. Will Jame
son and Guy Lake, ushers, entering
from the right, followed by Dr.
Ozantner, groom's man. Rev. Mr.
Cope and Dr. J. F. Brendel entering
from the left, Alfred Hunter and
('lint Wilkinson, ushers, Mrs. Lee
Marshall, matron of honor, the
Misses Bessie Brendel and Mildred
Butler, bridesmaids, Miss Stella Jew
ell, maid of honor, little Miss Geneva
Hobson, ring bearer. The bride
leaning on the arm of her father, met
at the altar the man to whom she
had plighted her troth. Rev. Cope
using the Episcopalian service, unit
ed in matrimony the lives of these
young people, who have? grown up
in Cass county, the bride having
been born in Weeping Water, grown
into womanhood, educated in the city
schools, and has lived here since, ex
cepting when engaged in teaching
school in the country (having taught!
three years and a half), and is uni
versally esteemed for her sterling
qualities. The groom is a successful
physician of Murray and has many
friends.
Immediately after the ceremony.
and while the notes of Mendelsohn's
Wedding March were pealing forth,
the happy pair, seated in an auto
mobile, were; driven rapidly to 1 ho
Jameson home on the corner of Clin
ton and II streets, where they were in
readiness to receive the congratula
tions of their friends as they arrived.
Those in attendance from out of
town were Mrs. John Garrow, Miss
Brown. Mrs. James Root, and
daughter, Miss Josie, the Misses
Bramblet, of Union; Dr. and Mrs.
Brendel, parents of the groom, Mr.
and Mrs. Jeff Brendel, Mr. and Mrs.
Baker and daughter, of Murray; Dr.
Will Brendel, of Avoca; Charley
Stone, of Xehawka; Will Hobson, of
Eagle; Dr. Gzantner, of Omaha; Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Race and daughter,
La Verne Kansas City; Mrs. Kate Cor
bet, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Young, of
Xehawka.
The dining room was beautiful
with its decorations of bridal roses,
ferns, bells and ropes of smilax. The
Misses Alice Flamme and Grace Lake
served refreshments, assisted by
Mary Jameson and Florence Wilkin
son. Seated beneath an arch and
festoons of smilax, a huge bell o'er
head, Miss Brown smiled her wel
come, meanwhile serving punch to
guests as they passed her in the hall.
In the back parlor were two tables
filled with gifts of cut glass, silver,
china, etc. The guests who tarried
to the close escorted the pair to the
east bound train which they boarded,
amid showers of rice and old shoes,
carrying with them the hearty good
wishes of their hosts of friends. They
will visit Indianapolis and other
points before returning to Murray,
their future home.

THE POUL
TRY SHOW
Cass County Well Represented and
Secure Several Awards.
The poultry show at Omaha of
which brief mention was made in
this paiter several days ago is turn
ing out. to be a big tiling, with some
mighty fine chicks on exhibition. Xot
the hast of them comes from this
city, Dr. J. H. Hall being in evidence
with his barred Plymouth Rocks, and
W. O. Hamilton having some very
fine birds on show. Dr. Hall has
been particularly fortunate, this
ing really his first year in the busi
ness from a show standpoint and the
Omaha show being the first big show
he has competed in. He carried off
the first prize for cockerel, and third
prize; for pulet, a fine showing when
it is considered that he was in compe
tition with birds from all over the
United States. Some of the birds
came from Xew York, that state in
fact furnishing the only winners over
Dr. Hall's pullets. The awards are
made on points which arc; scored by
the judges who are selected from the
leading poultry fanciers of the coun
try. These men are unbiased and un
prejudiced and in their scoring they
select the winners regardless of all
other considerations. To thi.s end
they are very careful to choose chick
ens which come up to the; highest pos
sible standard. Their awarding the
prize to Dr. Hall for the best cock
erel means that he has something in
the way of chickens which is extra
fine?.
Cass county has other chickens on
exhibition, but not near the nui.iber
which its resources should have;
shown. As fine chickens can be
raised here as can be raised
in the country if the requisite
care and attention is given them and
this should be done. Jay Adams of
Eagle .has some fine chickens on ex
hibition and doubtless will fare well
in the general wind up. It is expect
ed that Mr. Hamilton of this city,
who in the past has been so success
ful at large poultry shows, will once
more annex some prizes to his belt
as he has the birds to do it with.
The attendance has been very large
and the show is considered a finan
cial success. In connection with the
poultry show there is a fancy dog
show which is drawing attention
from dog fanciers the state over. Some
very fine animals are on exhibition.
The show lasts the remainder of the
week.
Since the above was in print ad
ditional awards have been made in
the various classes of chickens on
show. In the Buff Orpingtons W.
C. Hamilton made nearly a clean
sweep. He secured third and fifth
cocks, first and second hen, second
fourth and fifth cockerel, second,
third, fourth and fifth pul
let, and first and second pen. In
this same class Jay Adams of Eagle
secured first cock which makes
Cass County the prize winner in this
class. Mr. Hamilton far and away
distanced his competitors in the num
ber and extent of the prizes he land
ed. This was to be expected as he
has some of the finest chickens in his
stock to be had.
With winners In Messrs Hamilton
and Hall, Plattsmouth can well claim
to be a chicken center of real worth.
