ARE MARRIED AT MIDNIGHT
Nebraska Mast ad Iov?a Maid Have
to Aroas Cocll Blaffs Jasttc
" ' - from Slumber.
C D. Tally of Nebraska City went to
Council Bluffs on Wednesday night on a
train that arrived shortly before midnight.
Hla mission was to meet Miss Alice E. Web
ster of Lakevlew; la., and th Joint pur
pose of both was to secure a marriage
license and some person qualified to legally
make them husband and wife. The North
western trsln that bore Miss Webster did
not arrive It. the Bluffs until nearly mid
night, and when the two young people met
at the trystlng place, a Main street hotel,
It was after midnight, and the prospects
for an Immediate marriage as contemplated
looked exceedingly gloomy, remarks th
Nonpareil.
Cupid, however, was Impatient, and th
groom-to-be was -a hustler. He Inquired
around until he ascertained the procedure
necessary to be observed to comply wjth
the requirements of the Iowa marriage law.
Then he ascertained the name and address
of the officer authorised to issue marriage
licenses and shortly afterward he was
awakening the household at the residence
of County Clerk Freeman Reed. Tully was
enough of a diplomat to succeed in over
coming the scruples the good-natured court
clerk would naturally have to leaving a
warm bed, drenatng and going out In the
cold to the court houa to Issue the neces
sary license.
Provided with a license, Tully's troubles
were only half over, but he had surmounted
every obstacle when he climbed up the
steps leading to the home of Justice of
the Peace Ouren. The wedding was sol
emnised when the stars that shone at mid
night were getting well down toward the
western horlson. The bride and groom
then went on their way rejoicing.

Tbw Increasing number of damage suits

CARELESSNESS OF LAWYER TO BLAME
Walter Scott, Who Fir Several
Shts at Hattl Johasoa, HU
Sweetheart, Still a
FTe Mm.
Importance of technicalities of law was
forcibly demonstrated In the district court
yesterday when the omission of th lit
tle word "at" rendered defective an Infor
mation against Walter Scott, colored, and
relieves him from the possibility of a term
In the penitentiary.
Scott had a merry time basking In the
love of his sweetheart, Hattle Johnson.
Finally her love, grew cold, or at least
Scott thought so, and when he attempted
to call her endearing names she was no
longer responsive and repelled his atten
tions In such a manner as to arouse the
baser elements In Scott's makeup, and the
finale was a shooting affray. In which
Scott gave an exhibition of poor marks
manship, lost his Juliet and landed behind
the Iron bars which the unfeeling arm of
the law had provided for Romeoa of his
caliber.
One day 8ctt met his sweetheart on the
street and when she refused to forswear
allegiance to all others he pulled a nasty
looking revolver and proceeded to shoot
great big holes In the air, although it was
plainly hla Intent to puncture the anatom
ical structure of Miss Johnson. Miss John
son did a cake-walk retreat and when Scott
had emptied the four charges of ammuni
tion In his revolver she stIU was unharmed.
l.at Shot Historical.
The last shot, however, will go dowa In
history as having accomplished some good,
and If Puddln'-head Wilson had been on
hand he would doubtless have gathered suf
ficient data for another story about the
"other hair' of a certain canine, for the
last . bullet, instead of hitting the object
It was Intended for, lodged in th body of
an unsuspecting and harmless dog. .
Then' it was that the mighty arm of the
law begun to manifest Itself and, while its
first movements war attended with dig
nity and assurance, the final" swings, -which
were witnessed In Judge Ealelle's division
of the criminal court, were sad, lndead.
Th. county attorney, after being advised
of the fact In the case, forthwith leaued an
Information against Scott, charging him
with shooting Miss Johnson with intent to
kilL
' Now It Is on record that Scott did not
shoot Miss Johnson. He could not,-there-tore,
have killed bar. As a matter of fact,
he did not kill her, as ah waa on hand la
th district court room, smiling brightly.
Th august officials of th law, according
to(th ruling of the court, should have
drawn up aa Information charging Bcgtt
with Shooting "at" Mia Johnson.
Thus ended the first chapter. Th second
chapter anay or may not beovrltten.

KELBY SAYS STRIKE IS RICH
President of OH Well Cosnpaay Re
tsuras GrattSed at Recent
Dvlpcata,
J. E. Kelby, assistant to the general
solicitor of the B. M. returned from a
trip to Cheyenne Thursday evening. In
speaking of the oil strike made by the
Bonanza Oil and Envelopment company in
the Bonanza district of Wyoming, of which
company he is president, Mr. Kelby said:
"While I do not think the first reports
of the strike published in Omaha are born
out by the facts. I do believe that we have
struck a rich well. The latest reports
which 1 have received disclose the fact
that at a depth of S50 feet we have a well
which la flowing fifteen to twenty-five
barrels per day. It Is our Intention to go
deeper, perhaps about 1.600 feet, unless we
strike the main vein at a lesser depth.
The strike Is what Is known as Devonian
oil, and Is the best grade found In .this
country. It Is worth on the market about
IS cents per barrel more than the
Pennsylvania product. It will run about
2b per cent gasoline and the by-products
are better and there Is a greater per
centage of them found In this oil than In
any other grade procured In this country.
"Only eight days time was required after
the beginning of work to reach the present
depth, 850 feet. The location of the well Is
about seventeen miles southwest of Garland,
Wyo., and about twenty-two mllea south
of Basin."
It Is understood that the Burlington rail
road has completed surveys to the field
and that aa sodn aa the production of oil will
warrant a line will be built Into the locality.
There are several other wells In the same
locality which are partially completed and
all have met with considerable success,
but none has produced more oil at the
same depth than Mr. Kelbys well. J. A.

the company.
