Last week Thursday was Corpus
Christi, and the day was observed here
by the Catholics at their church. At 10
O'Clock high mass was read by Rev.

About three years ago a young lady
came Up from Wisconsin to visit rel;,.
tiYts at Rich Prairie. One Of the young
men of this place met her aud courted
her during her stay. Some time after
she went home the young man visited
her in Wisconsin and they were engaged
to be married, and the young man in
duced the father OF the lady to sell his
farm and remove to Rich Prairie, saying
that he would then marry the girl. After
selling his farm and removing to Rich
Prairie the old gentleman discovered that
his prospective son-in-lAw was counting
young lady from Stearns county who
WAS visiting here, and that lie paid AZ
attention to the new arrival from Wis
consin. The Tilted girl appeared to lake
things cody and SO things went on until
recently it was announced that the young
man was to be married to the girl from
Stearns county. Then the Wisconsin
girl threatened to bring q breach OF
promise suit and demanded $500
damages. Last Sunday the father Of the
Stearns county girl was here and told the.
invited guests that the wedding would
nottake place, so the marriage is busted.
How it will turn out with the Wisconsin
girl we will have to wait and see.
