McNeil, aged 38, occupation merchant, to Caroline Pearl Johnson of Wheatfield, aged 32, occupation housekeeper. First marriage for each. \gheriff O’Connor, who still bolds his residence in Walker tp., and expects to move back there Jan. 1, is anxious to have his township secure another voting precinct, thus saving voters from the east side from traveling so far to cast their ballot. There are enough voters in the township to secure another precinct if they will all come out and vote next Tuesday. The law provides that where more than 200 votes are cast in a township at one precinct a second precinct shall be provided thereafter, if petitioned for. Therefore a full vote should be gotten out in Walker this election.
