A Dastardly Attempt.
      Last night, after the Young-Rice wedding was over, Mr. and Mrs. Young repaired to their future home in Murray, which had already been prepared for their reception. About 12 o'clock they repaired to the bedroom, and a short time after they smelled something burning and discovered the house full of smoke. They immediately arose to discover the house on fire, and ere aid could reach them, much of their new furniture, carpets, etc., was destroyed and the roof and side of the building badly burned.
      It is generally thought the house was set afire, as circumstances point in that direction. The house is situated on the north side of Main Street, near the brick building occupied by Jimmy Loughridge as a blacksmith shop and the telephone exchange, and it is fortunate that the fire was discovered in time, and thereby saved the destruction of much other property. If it was set afire, and the perpetrator of the dastardly deed can be found, he deserves the severest punishment that law can give him.

The Young-Rice Nuptials.
      Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Rice, near Murray, was the scene of a beautiful wedding - the union of their daughter, Miss Winnie with William Rex Young. The evening was an ideal one for such an occasion. The moon in full splendor sent shafts of silvery light down upon the merry wedding party. A cool breeze aided in making the evening a perfect nuptial time. The color scheme of blue and white in festoons and mural decoration gave a bright airy appearance to the rooms.
      Miss Bessie DelesDernier of Elmwood sang in beautiful contralto, "I Love You Truly." Promptly at eight Mrs. G. H. Gilmore began Lohengrin's Wedding March. the wedding party was lead by Rev. Roy Lucas of Norfolk Neb. Next followed the groom and his best man, Albert Young, his brother. The groom was dressed in an evening suit of black. The bride was beautiful gowned in white silk, trimmed in applique, a bridal veil adding to the harmony was attended to by her brides-maid, Miss Mary Moore dressed in blue.
      The bridal party stopped beneath a large wedding bell in a canopy of blue and white, where Rev. Lucas performed the wedding ceremony in condensed form. Refreshments of brick ice cream, cake and lemonade was served. The bride is a beautiful and accomplished young lady, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Rice, and has a host of friends. The groom is the congenial son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Young, old and respected residents of the state. Rex is open-hearted and friendly with everybody he meets. He is the R.F.D. carrier out of Murray. On Main street he has rooms beautifully furnished where they will make their home.
      There were about 200 guests present and many presents were bestowed upon the worthy young couple. The out-of-town guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mann, grandparents of the groom, Morehead, Ia; Mrs. Clark Welliver and daughter, Eddyville, Neb; Mr. and Mrs. Albert Heneger, Gordon and Harvey Heneger, and Miss Alice Hoback, Weeping Water, Neb.; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Beck, Plattsmouth, Neb.; Mr. J.
