The mother of the Judy boy who is a widow, had no money with which to pay the fine and went be- fore Judge Lay and plead for mercy. From the goodness of heart the Judge remitted the fine and put the lad on parol. The Judy boy was ovly 13 years of age, and, while the offense may have been very aggra- vating and the blow on the head serious, the fine appears to have been excessive, taking the boy’s age into consideration. ————— eeaiypenegyguoeenencesenemer a sai PPL Stetson’s $4.00 Hats Cut to $3.00 — . easwrsart Special prices on all summer hats.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. S. P. Caton, in a very impressive manner. The wed- ding took place at the M E church, south, which had been previcusly decorated for the occasion, witha profusion of blooming plants, cut flowers and fens. A large number of the especial friends of the young couple were present at the happy event. The hour of the wedding was 8 o'clock and at the appointed time the sweet strains of music from the organ which was presided over by Miss Rosine Morris, announced the entrance of tha bridal party. The attendants were Misses Mattie and Mabel Southern, of Independ- ence, cousics of the brideand Mieses Agnes and Sallie Arnold, sisters of the kride, Messre. Bruce Starke, Clarence Catron aod Arthur Lud- wick. The bride wes tastefully at- tired in a cream fale silk. The groom wore the conventional black. Following the church ceremony a reception wa3 held at the hcme of the bride's parents, Mr. snd Mra. J. E. Arnold, where an elegant supper was eerved. At 10:25 Mr. and Mrs. Logan took the train for Kansas City, their fature home, as Mr. Lo gan holds a positioa with the Mo. Pac. railroad. Friday evening the bride and groom attended a recep- tion at Warrensburg, given them by Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Logan, parents of the groom. The Tiwes could not say too much in praise of the bride, who was ene of Butler's most amia ble, charming and accompliehed young ladies, and we cin say to Mr. Logan he hes captured a jewel, and a lady worthy of his highest esteem. | The Trus extends best wishes fer} their future bappicess and pros-| perity.. | Lock the Door | | Before the horse ia stolen.
