Mr. Thurston was fifty-five years old on that day, yet not so old but what he could be “fooled a little,” as his wife and daughter had carefully planned and arranged for the great feast without his least suspicion. The afternoon was spent in social chats, interrupted, occasionally, with music and songs. After expressing their wishes that Mr. Thurston might enjoy many more such birthdays the guests all departed for their homes, leaving him to meditate over the events of the day.
Those present were Mr. and Mrs. W. C. McClain, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Abel, Mr. and Mrs. Squire Parker, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Craig and family, Mrs. Viola Yelton, Mr. and Mrs. James Tennell and family, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Brant and family, Mr. and Mrs. Levi Thurston and family, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Thurston, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Crosby, Mr. and Mrs. John Crosby and family, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Harrel and family Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Thurston and family Mr. and Mrs. Hampton Yelton and family, Mr. and Mrs. O.

Officers Bruce and Goodrich were called to Murdock town yesterday morning to suppress Mose Thurston and Columbus Henry, who were making things lively in that section. When the officers reached the violators, they were informed by them that they did not intend to keep quiet nor be arrested, and then the fun opened, and it was biff, bang, first one down and then the other until they finally reached the jail. They were taken out this morning and fined in three cases --- resisting arrest, intoxication and profanity, $31 each by Squire Lacey, and were returned to jail.Monday, September 4, 1893
