Crane and Lillian B. Stiles. One or two other witnesses have been examined but their testimony has been immaterial. The cros-examination of Mr. Crane was conducted by State's Attorney Joslyn, while ex-State's Attorney Hanchett kept Mrs. Stiles on the grid-iron for a number of hours. She was as usual, a shrewd witness, but the astute Hanchett managed to make things somewhat uncomfortable for her. Several times she answered him in a snappish fashion, quite unlike her usual bearing on the stand. It is expected that the testimony and arguments will be finished by tomorrow night and that the case will be given to jury. JOHN ROEHIK'S BOY BURNED John Roehik's little two year old son was somewhat burned yesterday through having his clothes ignited by a fire cracker explosion. The family were having a reunion at Joergan Roehik's when the accident occurred. The adults were seated at the table and the children were playing in the yard. Some one of them threw a cracker which exploded in the little boys lap setting his clothes afire. The cries of his sister and others brought the men out of the house to the rescue in double quick time. He was burned about the left thigh and left arm, but rested comfortably last night and no serious results are looked for. DOUBLE WEDDINGS AT TALMAGE, NEB. World-Herald, June 20th Talmage, Neb., June 19.-The social event of the season at this place was the marriage today, at high noon, in the First Baptist church, of Mr. Hubert Burruss of the World-Herald, Omaha, to Miss Laura May Elmore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Elmore, residing about two miles southwest of here, and Mr. Clarence J. Elmore, brother of Miss Elmore, to Miss Anna E. Allen, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Allen, of Talmage. The double ceremony was performed by Rev. Joseph Stimlinger in the presence of a large number of friends of the contracting parties. The wedding was followed by a reception at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Allen, after which Mr. and Mrs. Burruss left by carriage for Julian, from which place they took train for Lincoln and other points west on a short bridal trip. They will return to Omaha where they will make their home. Mr. and Mrs. Elmore will remain in Talmage until the opening of the fall term of the University of Nebraska, in which Mr. Elmore has an assistant professorship, when they will take up their residence for the winter in Lincoln. Mr. J. H. Elmore's family will be remembered by many of our people; as they lived in this township for many years, Mr. Elmore once being superintendent of the Baptist Sunday School.
