ANOTHER BIG WEDDING.
Lev ! Empficld Gets Married Again.
Prominent ranchman on lower
Spring Creek , near McKinlej ,
the preacher a second time
/ * and takes unto himself a wife.
The above caption may be some
what mystifying to the many
readers of this paper who know-
Mr , and Mrs. Empfield , and are
aware of the the fact that they
have been most happily -wedded
x for the last eight years ? have a
splendid ranch and are the par-
0 ents of two bright fine little boys
\ All will be clear , however ,
when it it is explained that the
high esteem in which-Mr. and
Mrs. Empfield are held by their
neighbors was made manifest
last Friday , Aug , 12th , it being
i the eighth anniversary of their
wedding by a big surprise party
being given them , and a mock
wedding , before Rev. G. P.
Netherly , being part of the pro-
yram.
On account of a fatal accident
in Callaway and the presence ol
" a threshing machine in the
in ighborhood not more than
half of the friends who intended
coming were able to be present.
However sixty-fue guests were
pit sent , ladies bringing dinner ,
of course , for everybody. This
w.s plated on a long improvised
* s > table outside the house , and was
m.st hugely enjoyed.
A. little present of a most
\ iK'iiutiful and rich oak book case
and writing desk combined -was
plsi made to Mr. Empfield and
v lie by their visitors.
The afternoon was spent by
; he gentleuied present in story
telling , pitching quoite and play
ing base ball , while the ladies
did all the work , of course , but
all seemed mighty cheerful about
it-
After a most splendid day
thoroughly enjoyed by every one ,
the parties to this happy surprise
bade Mr. and Mrs. Empfield
goodbye , wishing them many
more eight year periods of matrimonial
menial happiness.
A Disturbance Nipped in the Dud.
Last Saturday night five of the
Reese ranch hands , C. B. Martin ,
J. R. Martin , Ed Gracy , C.
Wright and Layman came driving
into the city behind a pair of
high stepping mules.
While driving around the
streets they became very loud
and boisterous in their speech
and when requested to stop such
talk by Marshal Draper they
hurled abusive epithets at him
and went on down the street past
the post office towards the rail
road station. In , the meantime
their language had been getting
more vulgar and louder every
moment and to cap the climax
as they -were opposite the B. &M
restaurant they began shooting
with a 32 Winchester special.
This proceedure was entirely
too much for our Irish marshal
to stand patiently and hear. At
this time a gentleman was going
by in an automobile. Draper
called to him and turning his
machine they started after the
joyful ones.
The next thing those gentle
men .knew was that the marshal
was navigating rapidly in their
direction in a buzz wagon 'and
the ensuing chase will probably
never be forgotten by the people
in , it as it was certainly a thriller
in every respect. Not until the
galloping mules had put six long
muddy miles between them and
Broken Bow were they stopped
by the arm of the Jaw and by
that time two of the men seeing
that their horse power did not
iqual that of the on coming auto
left the rig to its fate and sought
safety in a nearby corn field.
The remaining three were
brought back and placed in the
city bastile and Sundav afternoon
the two who made their escape
were apprehended and brought to
town.
Later in the day however they
were all released on $300 bonds.
Their hearing is to be this after
noon in Police Judge Shinu's
office.
Ed Gracey and C. Wright were
already under peace bonds of $200
for pjayfully holding up a band
of Gypsies recently.

The Primary Election.
The weather Tuesday after
noon in this locality was very
onfavorable as a vote getter and
as a result a light vote was poll
ed at the primary. A heavy rain
late in the afternoon 2 inches
kept most of $ he farmer voters
from voting at all. In many
precii'Cts of the county the vote
was light vp to the time of going
to press but ttmuiiu voting pre
cincts of the county have report-1
ed the vote cast and a complete
synopsis at this time can not be
ijivcu. However the vote report
ed indicates the general result in
the county ,
The county prccints which
have reported scmi-officially are
Algernon , Ansley , Arnold , Brok
en Bow North and South Side
uster Nos. 1 and 2 Cliff , _ Delight -

The State Ticket.
The results in the senatorial
race are not in doubt in either .of
the parties as Hitchcock and
Burkett both far ahead of thr.
other nominees
Shallenbarger and Dahlmau
are running a great race for the
governorship nomination. At
present the Omaha mayor has a
big lead but the returns which
'
constantly coming in show .that i
the voters are giving large maj
orities for the governor and is
making a tremendous gain on i
his compeditor. In the south
western part of the State Shall
cnbarger is getting the greater 1
portion of the votes.
Douglas county gives a maj
ority of about 0000 for Mayor
Dahlmau Aldrich has a lead of
about 3000 not counting Douglas
county.
The Douglas county vote was ;
863 for Aldrich and 3,506 for !
Cady.
Aliss Cutler Entertains.
The Maxuma club and their
escorts went toMernaon Satur
day evening for a house party
given by Miss Dae Cutler.
A hay rack met them at the
station and the crowd of twenty
two were transported in this
manner the remainder of the
journey. Saturday evening they
went to a dance at New Helena.
The crowd returned Sunday
evening rather sleepy it is true
but very happy and extremely
well pleased with the entertair-
ment tendered them by their
charming hostess.
The only regrettable incident
of the affair was that Mrs J. G.
Leonard who went with them as
chaperone had the misfortune to
sprain her ankle as she jumped
from the hay rack. She is able
to be about though by the use nf
a pair of crutches.
Mr. Lewis Kimberlin ' brought
over the returns from Arnold
Thsurday.

Senator Ollis , who is superin

ment informs becretary Mellor of
the board that the entries in his
class are greater than ever before
and that the exhibit of draft
horses bids fair to exceed in
quantity as well as quality al !
previous exhibitions. In fact
the fair this year will far exceed
j all former fairs in the way ol
exhibits in all department. It
would seem each year that i
would be impossible to reach a
greater degree of excellence , but
the next year seems to increase
i the exhibits and 1910 indications
look better at this time of any
former years. Fair dates thisj

turned into small rivers wit i the
water in them at a depth of
about six lect , Part of the busi
ness houses of the town and
some of the cellars were flooded
with the .rushing water. Ansley
was entertaining at the time
about 1800 Modern'Woodmen of

annual picnic ,
The reports so far show the

very heavy.
