On Saturday evening, Novem-
Der 18th, Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Powell entertained at their home
in honor Of the eighth anniversary
of their marriage. The house was
beautifully decorated, the recep-
ton room in pink and white car
nations; the mantle was banked
with ferns and marsehielneil roses.
The second parlor was in roses,
which gave a touch Of brighter
color. The dining room was in
red and green, where a tall cluster
of magnificent cut flowers formed
the center piece. The white lun-
cheon cloth vas strewn with ferns;
the mantle and sideboard we're
banked with green, among which
nestled more roses. Frappe was
served from a pretty corner in the
dining room. Mr.. and Mrs. Powell
served alone. Dinner was served
at 6 o'clock, and covers we're laid
for sixteen.
Saturday afternoon about 6
o'clock a rather unpleasant occur
renee took place in Manning's pool
room, during which Lou Eaton was
shot on the left knee cap and right
ankle by Dan Maxen. From what
could be learned Of the affair, it
appears Eaton has been "nagging''
at Maxen for some time, and max
ing himself SO annoying that
Maxen, who is a cripple, warned
him to cease or he (Maxen) would
resort to a gun to protect himself.
Eaton took no heed of this warn
ing, and Saturday afternoon while
Maxen was taking some lunch at
the counter, Eaton repeated his
annoyances. Maxen Immediately
drew a revolver and fred, hitting
Eaton as above stated. The ball
was a 44-calibre, and the bones
were badly fractured. DR.. j. Fl.
Belyea was called in and dressed
the wounds and had the injured
man sent to the hospital. Maxen
claims the shooting was accidental
and not Intentional. Maxen was
arraigned yesterday and held on
bonds to appear soon as Eaton is
we'll enough to ccme into court.
Great credit is due the manage
ment of Wineman's opera house
for their efforts in furnishing the
Devils Lake puplic with high class
entertainments, and in this respect
it is pleasing to note that they are
eminently successful, and their
efforts are being appreciated. The
McPhee Big Show, which appears
tomorrow night, is an attraction
which will be we'll latronized.
