A CORRECTION.
In the Northern Idahi Nsws of
last week there appeared the follow
i is» editorial comment:
"Word whs received this week from Senator
W. B. Heyburn that the aiqxiintnu-nt oT
Thomas A, Murray of this city as Supervisor©!:
the Priest Hiver Forest Reserve to succeed
Robert Bragaw had been turned down on
account of an affidavit having been tiled at
the Department by C. L. Heilman of Rath
drum, in which it is affirmed that Murray was
not an able bodied man."
It seems that the News was mis
informed ou ' the subject as the
following telegrams would seem to
indicate. The attention of Mr. Heil
man having been called to the
matter he wired Senatoi Heyburn
as follows:
Rathdrum, Idaho, Dec, 21, tiKM.
Hon. W, B. Heyburn. United States Senate,
Washington, D. C.
The Sandpolnt News publishes editorially
the following; "Word was received this week
from Senator W. B. Heyburn that the appoint
ment of Thomas A. Murray of tills city as
Supervisor of the Priest River Forest Reserve to
succeed Robert Bragaw had been turned down
on account of an affidavit having been tiled
at the Department by C. L. Heilman of Bath
drum, in which it is affirmed that Murray was
not an able bodied man." Please advise me
by wire about this matter. I made no affida
vit against Murray.
Cham. L. Hkitman.
Senator Heyburn replied as fol
lows:
Wasliington, D. C.,
Dec. 22, 1904.
Chus. !.. Heitman,
Ruthdrum, Idaho.
Absolutely no truth in editorial referred to
in your telegram. Naver heard of your filing
or making affidavit or any statement in regard
to Murray und have nude no statement my
self on the subject. No one has been turned
down in the matter.

BONNINGTON — McGREEVEY.
The marriage ot James McGree
vey and Lizzie Bonnington was
solemnized on Tuesday, at the home
of the bride's brother, Jesse Howe,
in this city, Rev. Fattier Kelley
officiating. The ceremony was pri
vate, only relatives of the bilde
being present.
Mr. McGreevey occupies a prom
inent position with the Boulters
herry Lumber Co. Mis. McGree
vey's home was in Washington.
She is a most charming lady, ami
the many friends of Mr. McGreevey,
including the Herald, extend him
theit congratulations and wish both
every joy.
They leltou the afternoon train
on a short wedding lour. On their
return they will reside in the new
residence erected by Mr. MiGree
vey during the summer.
They were accompanied to the
train by many of tneir intimate
friends who showered them with
rice* and otnsr tokens of good luck,
and ot course some practical j ikes
Had to he perpetrated. One of these
was for some of Mr. McG reevey's
friends to sinae off a lot of
circulars like the following on a
typewriter and distribute them on
tne train :
"This is a newly married n uphi. Don't
mind if they du ail a little queer. I'leuse
turn your head the other way so as to not
bother them, as the groom, Mr. MeUreevey,
is a very bashful young man and his friends
at Bonners Ferry would dislike very much to
have him annoyed or troubled on his wedding
trip. You will know him by tu» blueovei
coat and stiff hut. I'leuse, be very kind to
them, for Jim is very basiiful."
Hil Fhiemm at Conners Fkkkv,
It was ratner a trying experten e
but they say the groom acquitted
himself very gracefully.
