Briefly Told.
-----
Mr. Hartman, the gentleman who recently figured in a sensational slide down a
nine story elevator shaft in Dallas, was here Monday afternoon, having come down
account the death of Louis Reuwer, a brother-in-law of his. Mr. Hartman
escaped the elevator accident with his life which is considered miraculous owing
to the circumstances surrounding the descent.
-----
Mayor S. J. Ward of Rosebud is in the city on business.
-----
Permits to wed were granted Saturday afternoon to
Jerry Gray and Letha Foreman;
Alvin Hoelscher and Christine Ranley.
-----

-----
A negro youth named Perryman was landed behind the bars by special Deputy W. P.
Marlin on a charge of carrying a pistol. The negro gave bond and was
released Monday.
-----
Some excitement was caused at 1:30 Saturday on the Frank corner by two
veterans--one of the Confederate and one of the Federal, becoming involved in a
dispute. One blow was passed, but no serious damage resulted. Quite
a crowd collected and listened to the disputants. Soon the war clouds
disappeared and the crowd moved on.
-----
Frank Peacock has let the contract for a new and up to date awning to extend
along the south and west fronts of his building on the square. The awning
will be similar to that erected by Rush, Gardner & Bartlett Co. and will add a
great deal in comfort and appearance. It would be a long step forward if
the owners of other buildings could see their way clear to adopt the same
improvements.
-----

The committee representing the Eagles lodge now being formed in Marlin will
probably secure the hall over Peacock's on the southeast corner of the square

attractive lodge room. The membership will be composed of 50, at the
beginning, that being the number required.
-----
Not being satisfied with the colossal industrial enterprise--the pipe line from
the Indian Territory to Port Arthur, the Guffey Oil Company will cover Cuba with
similar enterprise for the purpose of distributing oil for fuel and illuminating
purposes.
-----
The telegraphers' strike is practically suspended and the men are returnign to

old operators will be reinstated.
