William Bill's Downfall.

William Bennett is once more in durance vile. Of course its not hing un usual for Willie to be in duress but in this instance it is particularly sad in as much as Willie's screams for Harrison andRied from now on will avail nought. The cause of Willie's arrest dates back some two months ago, when Andrew Tray, a good old farmer who lives down near Russellville, paid this city a visit. Mr. Tray made the acquaintance of Bennett during his rounds and by evening the two were bosom friends. It didn't require much effort on Bill's part to persuade his granger friend to accompany him to his brown stone mansion in the north and remain over night, Mrs. Bennett was a charming hostess and Mr. Tray spent a very delightful even ing. In the morning when he arose he found that he had accidontlv lost $16 which he had put away on his inside pocket and two of his wife's bed quilts had taken wings and flown away. Mr. Tray made several vain efforts' to get Mr. and Mrs. Bill to disgorge, and finally tilled an affidavit charging Bill with larceny. He had a hearing Friday niorning and was bound over to court in the sum of $200.

A Double Obariyari,

Thursday night the citizens of the city were somewhat startled by the loud booming of cannons. The sounds wero wafed from a north-westerly direction and people were undecided whether it \vas some republican campaign speaker fighting the civil war over again or Col. Edward's Poyue Run veterans attacking a watermelon patch. But both surmises were wrong. It was simply a gay party of Black Creekers who had sur rounded the home of R. B. Snyder and were charivaring Charley White and. wife, and Mr. Spencer Lee and wife, both of whom were recently married. ^It was a noisy crowd and they kept up the bombardment until Red came forth and passed around a choice article of that which he keeps in his cellar for newspaper men and other distinguished guests. This quieted their nerves and all was soon once mtore serene.
