They had succeeded in getting as large a crowd together as could comfortably ride in the sleigh, and were spinning along in fine style, when all at onee one of the sleigh runners broke short oil and they stopped.

George Selts was brought' back fro'm Denver by Sheriff Martin on Friday after no in last on a charge of having robbed the store of J.

Meis, an account of which was given in lost issue. He was given a hearing before Esquire MeCurdy oa Monday this week, and clearly proved himself inuocent of the charge and vindicates himself from the shadow which unjust suspicion cast upon his character. Noth ing was proven by the prosecution except that Mr. Sells hfd roue to Denver, Col orado the day following the robbery. J.

S. Cowing who ieups a bakery and restaurant, stated on oath at the hearing that Selts was in his place of business on the night the clothing was stolen, until te o'clock, not being absent to exceed ten minutes during the time. Charles Dun-able, night operator at the Rock I4aud further qualifies that voung Suits was iu the waiting room at the depjt from ten, or but a few minutes thereafter, uutil halt past seven iu the morning after the robbery, when he took the traiu. Thus the wherebouts of young Selts is located during the entire night except for a few minutes, and proves his innocence beyond a possibility. It is believed that the mat ter will not end here as Selts will have to law' for false It is stated however that the aircst was made on the previous statement of Mr.

Dunable which allowed of sufficient ev idence to warrant the arrest and which he failed to corroborate at the trial. U. V. Democrat. ORPHAN BOYS.

Last Wednesday Billey Moran, of ibis county, and Emma Walker, of Butler county, were married in due form.

That night a number of the most intimate friends of the young couple concluded to give them an old-fashioned charivari just for luck. By some means Billy got wind of these unholy intentions, so he hitched up his team and he and his bride drove by a roundabout road to llusscl Cotton's where thev spent tho night. About 8 o'clock the mob gathered. For three lone hours they yelled and whooped aud rung cowbells aud beat tin pans at a terrific rate, all to no purpose. It then dawned on the crowd that it was sold.

The next night the same performance was repeated, except that Billy went to another neighbor's for protection.
