Without doubt many people were misinformed when they read the article in Monday evening's paper pertaining to the escaping gas at the Mat Hreiner home some time last week, In which the family had a very close call from being suffocated from the fumes. Tae article did not mention the kind of gas which caused the trouble and many thought it was artificial gas, while It was not. We wish to explain and make it understood under what circumstances it occurred, as it resulted from escaping gas from the coal stove, there being no artificial gas pfped into the Brelner home. o -■ 1 ■ - IN THE POLICE COURTS The two provoke cases in ’Squire Stone’s court were terminated today when the defendants, ‘China’’ Miller and Bernard Voglewede appeared and pleaded guilty and paid the fines assessed. o WEDDEDATBRYANT Joseph Spangler United in Marriage to Miss Clara Ulman.
