Mr. Clark took his gun to shoot a
bird sitting in a tree and in stepping
over a sill of a new house just being

fired it, the load hitting him in the
upper part of the chest and passing
out through the top of his shoulder^*

twenty-four year of age and married
Miss N'ola Bullock a year and a half
ago. She with a five months old baby

THE ENTERPRISE
Light Plant Not
y Quite Complete
Last week when the steam was a-,
bout to be turned on at the light plant
the big engine was found to beimprop
ly installed and it was found neces
sary to get a factory man to come
here to overhaul it. It had been down
with some parts on backwards and
the main shaft was four inches out
of level and yet it was supposedly in
stalled by an expert engineer.
When the engine was finally put
in -prope rsliape the drive belt wa
found to be about 18 inches too long
and had to be sent to a factory to be
cut. 1 - This all looks small at firsthand
hut it is costing the taxpayers of the
town many hundreds of dollars ever
week. To pay the engineer for ser
vice would seem a gross injustice to
the public as there are evidently manv
joints where either carelessness or
incompetency has prevailed while the
town is strained to the breaking point.

a demure little maid impersonating

accompanist lor the prima donna, Mr.
Harry A. lliggs, who impersonated
Kitty Gordon and judging from the

this famous- stage beauty. He sang
"My Sweet Little Alice Blue Gown
Next came the chorus, composed ot
Duke Critcher as Eva Tanguay, who
had the "I don't care," manner; next
entered Frank J. Nlargolis, who wa«
iippersonating Theda Bara. Mr. Mai
golis' impersonation was very vamp
ish, particularly when one compares
his businesslike manner off stage. His
figure was so grace!ul that it wobld
lie tilting as a model in his own estah
lishment. Oscar Anderson followed,
with an ini|«'rsonation of Mrs. Vernon
Castle, in a gown that would make
this famous dancer green with jeal
ousy. l>r. W. 11. Ilarrell came next

represented Eugene O'Brien, the per

and E. P. Cunningham, as the fathei
of the bride, came next. These wen

Booker, who had to be refreshed with
his iiill k bottle several times duimr
the ceremony. The maid of honor
W. 11. Guikin, looked most shy an.
sweet, and Flora I'encli
all eyes were turned toward her. Tin
flower girls, Irvin Margolis and Fran
cis ls-ggett as Jane and Catlierint
Lee, two little beauties of the Amer
lean stage, spread roses in the bridal
path. All eyes then turned to the ten
der,' blushing bride, whose girlish
beauty of two hundred and fifty
pounds made one sorry for the fragilf
maid. Dr. John D. Biggs represent
ed the bride. Louis Bennett's petiti
stature made a strong contrast to th«
buxom bride. The bride's train bear
ers, Jack Booker and H. Carson West
were very dainty and sweet in theii
girlish costumes. The bride was fol
lowed by Robert Manning as ring
bearer, who suggested Wesley Barry .
