STAYTON MAIL GIVES

The following account of the Shel-ly-Bradshaw

"Miss Hally Grace Shelley and Ar
chie Eldon Bradshaw were united in
marriage at 10:30 Monday morning at
the home of the bride's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. A. V. Shelly of this city,
Rev. R. L. Morton officiating.
"Preceding the ceremony, "Love's
Old Sweet Song" was very sweetly
rendered by Mrs. J. F. Lad, after
which the bridal party entered to the
strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding
March, played by Mrs. II. A. Beau
champ. They were preceded by the
minister and the floral girls, Maud
Morton and Leona Ward, who were
appropriately gowned; then came the
bridesmaid, M;iss Katie Shelley and
the groomsman, F. W. Bradshaw; then
the bride and groom. The bride was
dressed in cream silk with a silk chi
ton veil caught to the hair with knots
of white sweet peas, and extending to
the bottom of the skirt. She carried a
boquet of pink and white sweet peas.
I he groom wore the conventional
bla k.
"ihe ceremony was perfomed un
der an arch of clematis vines, filled
with sweet peas. It was followed by
a sumptious wedding breakfast', at
which the table decorations carried
out the pink and white color scheme.
The newly wedded pair then prepared
for their departure on a wedding trip
which, though a secret, is expected to
have taken them to Portland.
On leaving, they were showered
with rose petals by the members of
the bride's Sunday school class,, while
other guests scattered rice broadcast.
Miss Grace Crabtree smiling caught
the bride's boquet as the latter tossed
it from the carriage.
"Among the out of town guests who
attended the wedding were, Mr. and
Mrs. Samuel Bradshaw of Mill City,
parents of the groom, F, W. Brad
shaw of Albany, Mr. and .Mrs. C. A.
Ward of Portland, brother and sister-in-law
of the bride, and Mr. B. W.
Loucks of Brownsville.
"The presents Jcrc numerous and
appropriate, and included many beau
tiful pieces of silverware, cut glass and
Haviland china. The entire Shelley
home was beautifully decorated for the
occasion. Upon returning from the
wedding trip the couple will reside
in Albany.
"The bride is the popular daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Shelly, and is
one of Stayton's best liked girls. The
groom is an employe of one of Al
bany's I;trye merchandise stores, and
formerly resided in this city." .

Superintendent Jackson says that
the school industrial exhibit is nearly
twice as large as the one on display
at Albany Friday and Saturday, a
large number of exhibits having come
in since the Albany fair closed.

FROM CONSTABLE
Believes He Is Fugitive from
Justice but Fine Has Been
Paid by Relatives.
ARRESTED ATSWEET HOME
AND FINED FIFTY DOLLARS
Relatives Settle with Justice of
Peace While Soy Is on His
Way to Albany.
Escaping from Constable II. R.
Slavens " at Lebanon yesterday, a
young man by the name of Manweilcr
still believes that he is a fugitive from
justice, when as a mater of fact his
relatives paid his fine prior to his
escape from the officer.
It seems that Manweilcr was arrest
ed in Sweet Home several days ago
upon the charge of using vile and
abusive language in a public place and
was tried in the justice court of that
place and convicted. The justice of
peace fined him fifty dollars which he
was unable to pay and in default
whereof was turned over to the cus
tody of Canstablc Slavens with in
structions to turn him over to Sher
iff Smith at Albany. Slavens and
Manweilcr reached Lebanon without
any trouble and went to a restaurant
at that place where Manweilcr stepped
behind the curtain for the purpose of
washing, but it seems that he passed
out the back door of the place and
thus far has not been apprehended
by the Lebanon authorities.
Manweiler's relatives knew nothing
of his predicament at the time of his
arrest but after he had departed with
the officer for Albany, appeared at the
office of the Sweet Home justice of
the peace and paid his fine.

"Nelson McDutf, ihe efficient su

Neighboring City.
SAFE BLOWN BUT ROBBERS
SECURE BUT LITTLE MONEY
Officers Working on Case but
No Arrests Made Yet Other
Details of Robberies.
Philomath, the city of learning, was
the scene of a sensational attempt at
wholesale robbery last night, the
thieves entering the postolbce, Gib
bon's mercantile store. Mason & Ma
son's hardware store and the butcher
shop, says the Corvallis Republican.
Sheriff (iellatly and the local officers
are endeavoring to apprehend the per
petrators, their only working clue be
ing a trail of footprints, leading to the
depot.
The thieves first broke into the
blacksmith shop adjoining Gibbons'
store and secured tools. They then
forced a window in the store and en
tered and attacked the safe with tools
and explosives. They were evidently
novices for they failed to force the
safe dour. The fact that the firm pos
sessed a safe apparently made it use
less to search further for cash there
for nothing else was diturbed.
The postollice was entered and :i
fruitless search made for money. The
butcher shop was entered but no mon
ey was found ami the hardware store
of Mason and Mason was visited but
again were the burglar fellows disap
pointed, no cash being found in the
establishment.
Nothing has been missed in any of
the places visited by the night workers
who seemingly (wanted nothing but
money and who were careful to carry
away nothing whose possession would
be incriminating. The clumsiness of
operations stamps the would-be
thieves us amateurs but that they nrc
not laekinj? in nerve is shown by the
fact that they broke into so many
places.
The first reports of the robbery
conveyed an impression that the plac
es visited by the thieves had been
practically looted ami created consid;
erahle excitement here and at Philo
math. A number of Corvallis people,
went to Philomath this morning but
found that none of the merchants
there suffered any loss.
