The Portland Sun says: “Ervin Black, superintendent of the .Jay county fair association, and Mrs. Leo AsL-ley-Bisel, were married Tuesday at Covington, Ky., to which place they eloped. The marriage was not known here until late Thursday evening when the couple arrived in this city and at once took up their residence in the Long flats. Leaving this city Monday over the Muncie & Portland traction line, Mr. and Mrs. Black went to Covington, where on Tuesday forenoon they were joined in marriage by the judge of the court there. They will make their home in the Ixmg fla’s, corner Walnut and Commerce streets, for the present at least. Both the bride and groom have been married before, their former marriage having been severed by divorce. Only a few weeks ago the former Mrs. Black, who; resides on a farm south of Portland, 1 was granted a decree of separation. Mrs. Bisel was given a divorce from her former husband, Thad Bisel, of Pike township in the Adams circuit court at Decatur only a couple of weeks ago. The divorce proceedings were instituted in the local court and venued to the Adams circuit court where they were tried out.” Mrs. Bisel’s complaint in her divorce suit heard here was that her first husband was cold and unaffectionate and often left her babe and her alone at night or made them go to a neighbor’s, while he caroused at borne with a lot of young boy friends, with plenty of beer to drink. riU ) tCE.

DIES IN THE WEST Wm. Murphy Receives Word of Death of Nephew, Will Reynolds, Today. UNEXPECTED NEWS Death Occurred at Hospital in Oklahoma City—Was Thought Recovering. Monday Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Murphy received a letter from their brother-in-law, D. P. Reynolds, of Noble, Okla., that his son, William Reynolds, who had been very ill, was better. Today a letter came, telling of his death. He died in the hospitai at Oklahoma City, where he had been taken for treatment for Bright's disease and a complication of diseases, having been in poor health for about six months. He suffered a stroke of paralysis at the last, which resulted in his death three and a half hours later. The news of the death was very unexpected to the relatives here. The exact time of the occurrence is unknown, as the informant,much worried, had forgotten to date the letter. As the time required in transit, is about three days, it is thought the death occurred last Saturday. The deceased; who at death was of middle age, was born and reared here, moving to Oklahoma about eight or ten years ago, with his parents. He was married there to Miss Cora Allison, and three children were born to them —Martin, Daniel and Hazel. The family then moved back here, and later returned again to Oklahoma. His first wife died and he remarried, his second wife and a child by the last marriage also surviving. Mr. Reynolds' mother died two years ago, the burial taking place here, and that was the occasion of the last visit here of the son. The father, D. P. Reynolds, visited here last during O’.d Home Week. A sister, Mrs. Daisy Driest, of Oklahoma, is the only member of his father’s family of children living. In early youth Will suffered an acci■dent that marred him for life, the wound never really healing, creating a running sore that is thought to ha-e .contributed to his death. While huntI ing he blew into an empty barrel of his gun to clean it. In some way his foot slipped on the trigger, setting off the other load and sending it into his cheek and chin, ploughing a deep furrow through his face. A portion of the J shot could not be gotten out and it never healed. The family has many relatives here. PUBLIC SALE.

With the circles of their own little coterie unbroken, the Young Matron's club spent a very delightful time yesterday afternoon with their sewing, with Mrs. T. M. Reid at the home of her sister, Mrs. R. . Parrish. Very delicious refreshments were the closing feature of the entertainment.

Mrs. Fred Schafer has returned from a pleasant three weeks’ visit with Frank Dibble and family at Lansing, Mich. The second of a series of social surprises given by the congregation of the Baptist church for its unsuspecting members was that given Monday evening for Mr. and Mrs. T. W. -Watts, by fifty of the congregation. Mr. Watts who is always the leading spirit in events of this kind, was “caught nap 1 ping for once, taking a quiet rest on the cot. The party gathered at the Ed Whitright home and then proceeded to the Watts home. Games of all kinds were played. A word contest, in which words were formed from the letters in ' Decatur,” was interesting, Miss Ruby Miller forming forty-three , words, the greatest number. Refreshments were served. La(er: At a late hour this afternoon we met Mr. Watts, who most soberly and with tears roady to overow his eyes, said: "Tell them, that the completely -got our goat,’ and |we haven't found him yet." He didn’t i authorize the statement that a reward | would be given for its return, but we presume he will do so when he recovers. Mrs. Oscar Hoffman and Miss Madge Hite have invited the Tri-Kappa girls to be their guests at a little sewing party tomorrow afternoon at he Hoffman home. Mr. and Mrs. Van Barklow will return this evening to their home at Bellevue, Ohio. While here they were -leasantly entertained at the homes of Mrs. Barlow’s sisters, Mesdames Ed Keller and Frank Bogner.
