Montgomery left Thursday morning on a ten days or two weeks trip, the length of which depends on the quality of the drinking water in the east. They go from here to Indianapolis and from there through Ohio and probably to Detroit, Mich., and will probably go as far east as Pittsburg, Pa. It is purely a pleasure trip and the routes traversed and points visited depends on the condition of roads. They went in Mr. Thompson’s big steam auto. o A State case from Wheatfield, wherein Alfred Hoehn is the prosecuting witness and Samuel Remley the defendant, was set for trial before Squire Irwin, at 1 p. m., yesterday, having been sent here on change of venue from Squire John Greve’s court. The offense charged is drawing of a revolver on the prosecuting witness. Mr. Remley came down Thursday, however, and plead guilty and was fined $1 and costs, sl4 in all, which he paid. The trouble arose over a dance, we understand, held in Mr. Remley’s hall. Several young fellows had been drinking considerable and got unruly. Mr. Remley tried to make them behave and to enforce his demands for order went home and got a revolver.
