o'clock occurred the marriage of
Albert : Maust of this city teNancy
Nancy Bryant of Kansas City.
The home of the bride's par-
ents , where the ceremony took
place , was beautifully decorated
for the occasion with cut flowers
and potted plants. The wedding
was a quiet one , being attended
only by the immediate relatives
oft h e contracting parties.
Shortly after the ceremony the
young couple took the Missouri .
Pacific train for Falls City , arriving - .

bears an excellent reputation in

Ruin 'I'lmt the father
girl were in Falls City a few
weeks ago trying to prefer a similar - t
ilar charge upon another man ,

and that the citizens of Rube be-
tieve Mr . Burke to be innocent of 1
the charg-e. (
H. . C. James , the county attor-
(
hey , did his full duty when he
dismissed the indictment against
young Carson of Auburn , It
may be that the young man did
commit the offense wtih which
he was charged , in this county
But it is a matter of commoned .
knowledge that he also commit
it many times in Nemaha
county. Judge Stull came before
the grand jury of this county and
got the indictment. We have
troubles of our own , and if Judge
Stu11 wants Carson punished let
his own county bear the expense
of prosecuting its own criminals.
James did exactly right.
Little Boy lIurt.
On Sunday morning while on
his way home from Sunday school
the seven year old son of Mr . dud
Mrs. Frank Vaughn was running
and playing on the Morton Street
viaduct and some way fell to the
, concrete flooring about sixteen
feet below. Little fellow was at
once taken to his home and Dr.
Houston was called and the in-
jured members dressed , which
required a number of stitches to
be taken in the forehead. The
patient is . resting nicely and in a
few weeks he will fully recover.
