; ( Cody Cow Boy. )
Mrs. Dodd of Mullen has been
visiting her sister , Mrs. Nellie
Carter of this place.
Frank H. Leigh ton , aged 22 ,
and Lucile B. Meyers , aged 18 ,
came up from Cody last Thursday
and were married at the court
house by County Judge Edmunds.
The above item appeared in the
Rushville Standard of May 5 , but
escaped our notice until this
week. The contracting parties
are well known in the vicinity oi
Cody , the groom having gromn tc
young manhood here , and the
bride residing here for the past
year and a half. The wedding
has been kept secret here and the
bride left with her parents a few
weeks agd for Belgrade , Neb. , but
it is rumored that she will returr
in a short time.

looking for help and claimed that
when coming from a closet in the
reae of the house he was attacked
by a man who had a knife. He
asserted that he fought the mac
the best he could , grabbing the
arm in which he held the knife.
Smith's arm was cut in three
places and scratched in several
more. Smith claims that he final
ly > dbugbt his assailantn and
knocked him down , after which
he ran to the house. When he
came down town his arm was
bleeding profusely , * aQd sought a
physician who dreesed his woundr.

Bloomers 4-8 Valentine 5-8.
The Boston Bloomers played
with our home team last Saturday
afternoon and evening , our boys
defeating them with a pick up
team about town , composed partly
of high school boys with Gorrill
.and Campbell as battery , defeat
ing the bloomers 5 to 4 in the af
ternoon and even tally of S to 8
in their own game at night our ,
team making their tallies mostly
in the last half of the game and
had the Bloomers stayed for an
other inning could have easily de
feated -them as our boys were
gaining on them fast as they be
came accustomed to the game
which was played with a soft ball
five or six inches in diameter and
a slender stick'bat on a small
diamond. Couldn't 1-mck the ball
, more than twenty to thirty yards
but our boys out batted , them and
were fast getting onto the game
when they announced they'd have
to quit to make their train. Of
course they didn't want to get
beat at their own game and was
glad to get off with a tie.
Only four or five .girls played ,
the remainder being men in the
.Bloomer team and our boys can
beat them bad if they had a few
games practice and beat them as it
was. *
George Stetter made one of his
sensational- hits which sent the
ball way over the right'and center
fielders , who ran for a long time
to overtake it. This so astonished
and dumbfounded the little girl
team that they didn't make anoth
er tally , George making an easy
home run.
They had a good crowd at a half
dollar a ticket each game and lOc
extra for a seat. Too much , many
said , for their game.

Last Thursday evening word was
sent over the wires that Lucy the
three year old daughter of E. E.
Stillwell and wife had wandered
away from the home and was lost.
In a bliorfc time nuighbois began ar
riving. A lantern brigade was
formed and the ground where she
was supposed to have gone carefully
searched. Small foot prints in the
sand gave us hope but as the hours
of darkness wore away and no trace
of the missing child was found the
weary searchers halted at 2 a. m. to
await day light. With the first
signs of morning the hunt was again -
gain taken up. The fore-noon pass
ed all too quickly 'for the anxious
throng , who with no sleep and with
but little time devoted to eating ,
covered seemingly every foot of ter
ritory for a long distance in every
direction. Noon came and still the
search wen t on others came and
joined. Despair was showing plain
ly iu the weary faces when about
2 p. m. a rifle shot announced the
glad tidings that she was found.
George Wang had heard , her cry
and m some rubties by the lake sde
she was lying. The child is recov
ering from her experience and will
soon be well. Mr. and Mrs. Still-
well are very grateful to all who
assisted in their time of need-
