CONTACT WITH TELEGRAPH POLE
WRAPPED WITH WIRE—SEES^S
TO HAVE BEEN CHARGED.
A horse came in contact with the
large Western Union Telegraph pole
on North Main street this morning
and Sustained a shock from which it
is said the animal, may not recover.
The pole is wrapped with heavy
wire to prevent the wood being cut,
and thi9 wire, acting as a good con*
doctor of electricity, from what spe-
cific source the Hera'1 cannot certify,
seems to have been the agency that
cauesd the shock.
How the electri* current could
reach down the ta'l po.«. to the wrap-
ping of wire U a mystery, unless
|there are wires pearby that, are not
propbrly insulated.
The Herald is informed there have
been a number of such instances in
the years recently elapsed, and it is
also said that there are macy wires ini
need of proper insulation, but as to
Ithi8 statement the Herald cannot
verify.
If there are such wires bearing the
deadly free current to man and best,
it iB meat for the city council to broil.

Royal-Bankhead Wedding.
Weatherford’s first June Wedding
was solemnized on the afternoon of
June 1st, at three o’clock in the Grace
Presbyterian church, when Miss Mar-
garet Bankhead became the wife of
Ralph Harean Royal of Houston. The
soft strains of music that heralded
the approach of the wedding party
was played by Miss Ursula. Stoker.
The four ushers were Messrs. Clyde
Jenkins, Taylor Johnson, Harold Sad-
ler and James Owens. The bride’s
sister, Miss Ruby Bankhead, was maid
of honor, and Ward Bankhead gave
away his sister. The bridal gown
was of white brocaded crepe meteor;
her tulle veil was caught up by a
wreath of orange blossoms; she car-
ried a beautiful boquet of bride’s ros-
es. The groom wore the conventional
full dress suit. As the bridal party
were grouped about the prettily dec-
orated altar, the marriage vows were
administered by Rev. Joseph G. Pat-
ton, the ring ceremony being used.
The scene was beautiful and Impres-
sive. This wedding is the culmination
of a romance that started four years
ago when the bride and her brother
were touring the Pacific coast states.
Mr. Royal is a native of'Seattle,
Wash., a graduate of the law depart-
ment of Washington State University
and is well prepared for the part he
is taking in the business interests of
Houston, his adopted Home. Mrs.
Royal has a large Clyde of friends in
her girlhood town, as well as in other
parts of the state, where she has been
a popular teacher, having just flrfteh-
ed a term at Houston. Guests from
out of tonyn who left on the evening
train with the bridal couple were Mrs.
Royal’s two sisters, now In Houston,
Mrs. Schmultz and Miss Bessie Bank-
head, a member of the first class to
be graduated from the Rice Institute,
also a cousin, Miss Williams, from
Fort Worth.

wishers In Weatherford are anxiously
