RICE - OSBORN

Miss Grace Osborn, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Osborn, formerly
of Modoc County, and cousin of Rev. J. Q. A. Henry, was married to M. B.
Rice, at the residence of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Rice, at
Aptos, on Wednesday at high noon. Rev. C. Tillotson of the Calvary
Episcopal Church officiated.
The bridal party entered the parlor to the strains of the "Wedding Bell
March" played by Miss Bessie Rice, and took their position in a canopy of
woodwardia ferns under a floral horse-shoe of smilax and La Mark rosebuds.
The bride, who is a tall, stately blonde, looked very sweet in a gown of
cream Henrietta trimmed with a garniture of silk point lace and ribbon. She
carried a bouquet of sweet peas and maidenhair ferns.
Miss Katie Ord of Aptos attended the bride and was attired in blue crape
trimmed with chiffon lace and white ribbon. The grooms' best man was his
brother, D. W. Rice, who has just arrived from the East.
After the ceremony, hearty congratulations were offered. Congratulatory
telegrams and letters were received from a number of friends in Modoc County
and Chicago.
The bride and groom then led the way into the dining room, where an
elaborate wedding breakfast was served. After spending some time at the
tables in partaking of the palatable viands and listening to toasts, the
bride slipped away and donned a traveling suit of grey mixed wool with hat
and gloves to match.
The rooms were darkened and beautifully decorated. In the parlor, ferns
and white chrysanthemums predominated, while in the dining room the
prevailing colors were green and yellow.
Mr. and Mrs. Rice took the 2:20 train for San Francisco amid a shower of
rice and old shoes. They will take up their residence at Pacific Grove,
where the groom has a lucrative position with the Southern Pacific railroad
Co.
The presents were numerous and costly. Only the following members of the
family were present:
Mr. and Mrs. Osborn, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Rice, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Rice, Mrs.
Smith, Mrs. Long, Miss Katie Ord, Miss Bessie Rice, J. Ord, J. M. Rice, D.
W. Rice, C. F. Rice, Sam Osborn. - Santa Cruz review.

A. C. Frick, who robbed the Klamath stage some time ago, was found guilty

DIED

McWILLIAMS - Near Bieber, Cal., Dec. 1, 1895, James McWilliams, a Native of
Ohio, aged 63 years.

DEATH OF JAMES McWILLIAMS

Last Sunday morning at 4 o'clock James McWilliams, after an illness of a
few days, died peacefully at his home in the lower end of the valley. He
had been ailing for several months, but his malady took a serious turn only
a few days before his death.
Deceased was born in the State of Ohio in 1832 and came to this State with
his family in 1870. He leaves a wife and eleven children, six boys and five
girls, to mourn his death.
The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon, the remains being laid at rest in
the Hillside cemetery in the presence of a large number of people. The
family has the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.

H. Kraft, the well known banker, died at his home in Red Bluff Nov. 24th.

McCOY - POWERS

At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, in the parlor of the Fall City Hotel, Mr.
Sylvester McCoy and Miss Mary Powers were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony. Miss Lenora Neate acted as bride maid and Mr. A. A. Baker as
groomsman, and Rev. D. W. Gilbert, in the presence of some seventy invited
guests, spoke the words that binds them together for life.
The quartette of happy young people, as they walked into the parlor to the
beautiful strains of the wedding match rendered by Miss Minnie Zumwalt, and
took their places in front of the man of God, presented a beautiful picture,
and one which would create a lasting impression on the minds of all who
witnessed the ceremony.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the friends came forward and offered
congratulations, and then repaired to the dining room where was spread a
bountiful wedding feast consisting of delicacies too numerous to mention,
but the crowning feature was the beautiful bride's cake, which stood like a
beautiful statue in the center of the table.
Mr. and Mrs. McCoy are well known to the people of this valley, and that
they are universally loved and esteemed was attested by the large number of
beautiful and useful presents received by them.
That the remainder of their married life may be as happy as the beginning,
is the earnest prayer of their many friends. - Fall River Tidings.

TWO FULL MOONS

We are to experience during this month a very curious astronomical
phenomena; one, which has not occurred before since the birth of Christ via
Two full moons during the month of December. The first full moon occurred
on December 1st, at 10:29 o'clock a.m. The second will occur on December
31st, at 12:22 o'clock a.m.
Many persons, who are religiously inclined, believe that this phenomenon
foretells Christ's Second Advent, as it has never occurred since the month
and year in which he was born.

The youngest child of Mrs. Clara Vernon died in Fall River valley on Dec.
2nd.

Judge Murphy has refused to grant a new trial to Durrant, and the prisoner
has been remanded to San Quentin to await execution.

case of Chas. Packwood vs Dr. Thrailkill, and judgement was rendered in
favor of the plaintiff.

MARRIED

HOFFMAN - DIETER - Near Buntingville, Cal., Nov. 28, 1895, Floyd Hoffman and
Miss Ella Dieter.

The home of our junior partner, F. A. Smith, was filled with sorrow, last
Sunday. A baby boy was born, but its life was of short duration and in less
than an hour its little spirit had fled to the maker who gave it life.
Enlargement of the liver was the cause of death. The little one was laid
to rest in the Masonic cemetery the same afternoon and the sorrowing parents
can rest assured of the sympathy of the entire neighborhood. - Alturas New
Era.
The many friends of Mrs. Smith (nee Mina Crowley) in this valley will learn
with regret of this sad blow, and sincerely sympathize with the sorrowing
parents in their bereavement.

H. S. Brown arrived home yesterday and we learn that, he was robbed by John
Stout and his son in Redding. Brown, we were told, had Stout arrested, and
by a little lecturing from an officer, the boy went and got most of the
money where he had it hid under a log.

BROWN AND STOUT
They Occupy the Same Room and Brown Loses His Money.

H. Brown, a farmer and stock-raiser of Big Valley, arrived here Tuesday in
company with John Stout, a man who had been in his employ all summer. They
occupied the same room in the Golden eagle hotel Tuesday night. Brown, on
retiring, had $119 in his pocket. Stout, so it is said, had one dollar.
When Brown put on his pants Wednesday morning, he did not have a cent.
Stout was suspicion of having taken the money, and was arrested by Marshal
Eckels and charged with robbery. On searching him the officer found a few
dollars, and learning that a certain boy in town had about $35 in money
which he could not account for, and that the lad was a friend of Stout's, he
thought they were in together on the supposed robbery.
We understand that Stout has arranged matters satisfactory to Mr. Brown. -
