Part of these proofs are the bills of

MARRIED At MIDNIGHT.
Henry Charter Weds Miss Mary
Ella HemOhi1l.

A midnight marriage was cele-
brated in Redwood Falls last Sun
day night. They principals were
Henry Charter, Ntne well-known
young farmer of Red wood Falls
township, and Miss Mary Ella
Hemphill, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James B. Hemphill, and graduate
of the Red wood Falls high school
class of 1899.
Mr.. Charter called on the clerk of
court late Sunday afternoon and in
quired whether he would issue a
license on Sunday. The clerk, was
reluctant in doing so, but told Mr..
Charter that he would look up the
matter. At 1870 clock Mr.. Char
ter again called at Mr.. Warmers
residence, and the clerk promised
to remain in his Office until mid
night and issue the license at that
time. This was done. Mr.. Char
ter then drove to the Hemphill resi-
dence in Watson's addition, where
Elder Henry Goodacre Of the Chris
tian church aud the bridal party
were waiting. The ceremony was
performed At once, the bride wear.

maid was the brides sister, Miss
Isabella Hemphill, and the best man
was George King.
Immediately after the Elder had
pronounced the couple man and
wife Mr.. and Mrs. Charter stepped
into the carriage awaiting them and
drove to the home of the groom S
mother where they surprised the
mother and relatives by announcing
the fact that they were married and
were about to leave for a brief
honeymoon. They then drove to
Olivia where they took in the circus

niless. He was proud man and
rather than let his friends or rela-
tives know of his loss and plight,
and thus secure assistance, he COM
menced life of recluse, which end
ed up to within few days before
his death. On May 10Th last he
uttered a hospital at Wichita, suf-
fering from an incurable disease,
and on being told that the end was
near he informed the hospital at
tendants Of the whereabouts of his
relatives and directed that his body
be sent to LeSueur for burial. He
passed away week later and his
remains were forwarded to LeSueur
where they were given proper
burial,

week that his wife had been suffo-
Gated in a Ere at Minneapolis on the
night of Decoration Day.
Kightlinger has not lived with his
wife for some time, but has followed
the occupation of plasterer in the
smaller towns of the State. His wife
has been doing different work in
Minneapolis. On the night in ques-
tion she was away from her usual
abiding place, with a lady friend,
and the two went over in East Min
neapolis, where they remained with
friend for the night. A fire broke
out in the house that night and Mrs.
Kightlinger and her friend were
suffocated before help reached them.
The identity of the two corpses
was made through the lady having

Kightlinger and her friend usually

Mrs. Kightlinger's s father was then

not have enough money to pay

charge of the remains. About this
time number of the women friends
of Mrs. Kightlinger commenced a
subscription to pay the expenses,
but the city authorities refused to
turn over the body without her

too long time, and the remains
were buried by the city.

THREE LINES RUN.
6 & N. M.Surveyors Have Three Lines
up Beaver Creek.

The surveyors on the Gulf &
Manitoba railroad had completed
two lines to the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & St. Paul railroad, in RenvilIe
county, on Friday evening OF last
week. One of the l;nes ran into
Olivia and the other ran into Bird
Island. It is understood that the
surveyors found the Olivia line the
more feasible. Another line will
be run mp the Beaver Greek valley.
with the hopes of finding still
easier grade to get onto the prairie.
The officers will not say anything
definite as to which town, Olivia
or Bird Island, is to be benefited
by the construction of the line, but
the fact is likely to be determined
ina short time. The two towns are
but little more than five miles apart
and the one that is favored by the
company is likely to be the best can
in the alley.
Millard R. Powers, the broker of
the company in placing the bonds,
and also apparently interested in
the construction, was along the line
last Thursday and Friday, leaving
this city over the Northwestern at
one 0 clock Friday for Chicago, Mr..
Campbell accompanying him as far
as st. Paul. Mr.. Powers would add
nothing to the light on the con-
struction of the line, except that the
matter was sure 60, ''That S
what we are here for. he remarked.
Late Friday afternoon a GAZETTE
reporter saw Samuel Compton Of
DesMoines, secretary of the COM
pany, who has been here for a
couple Of weeks or more. He was
asked whether the track would be
laid into Beaver Falls before July
1st, the date set for the expiration
of the bonds Of that township, in
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1900-06-13

case the line is not completed to
within half a mile of the court
house. He said that there was no
doubt of the construction. When
his attention was called to the fact
that there were only q days left IN
which to get the rails and lay the
track and finish the bridge, he said
that there was plenty of time to re-
deem the company pledge and the
Beaver Falls bonds.
Mr.. Compton was then asked
what the programme would be after
the surveyors had found the most
feasible line out of Beaver Greek
valley to the Milwaukee line. He
replied that the crew would prob
ably be brought to point this side
of Beaver Falls and find a route
thai would make the best way of
getting up the hill on the south side
of the Minnesota river. He would
not state whether all difficulties
would be surmounted in order to
get into Redwood Falls, and inti-
mated that the line would run a
long way east of town if the engi-
neering crew advised route. easy
enough to warrant the change.
Mr.. Lally, who has charge of the
construction department., is engag-
ing men and teams to work on the
grading, ETC., Offering So per day
for man and team, but asks the men
to sign contracts that they will re-
main continuously with the con-
struction department until their
services are not wanted. This, of
course, is move to keep the men
from quitting them during the har-
vesting season
Michael King, the contractor on
the old linz. was in town Saturday,
having come over from Beaver Falls
where he has been for the past two
months. He stated that he expected
active operations all along the line
in short time.

MYSTERY CLEARED.
Remains of Charles Schaeffler
Buried at LeSueur.

LeSueur papers of a couple Of
of weeks ago contained brief ac-
count Of the burial of the body OF
Charles Schafler at that place, aud
thereby cleared up a mystery that
has been hanging fire for seven or
eight years
Mr.. Schafler was formerly res
ident of Renville county, owning a
handsome farm in Flora township,
adjoining the Larkin farm. He was
well-known in Redwood Falls,
where he had many friends, who
always held him in high esteem. He
was member of the Redwood Falls
Commandery, Knight Templar, OF
the Royal Arch Chapter and the
Bl'e Lodge; and be was also mem
Der o. the Ancient Order Of United
Workmen.
About seven years ago he decided
to quit farming. He sold his hand
some farm for good price, and after
remaining here for month or two,
he announced to his friends that he
was going to Kansas. Nothing fur
ther was heard of him. despite fre-
quent Inquiries as to his where
abouts, and vigorous search au-
thorized by the Redwood Command
cry and the members of the A. O.,
U. w. His assessments in the lat
ter order in which he carried a
$4,000 life insurance policy, were
paid for by his friends until men,
bers of his family at LeSueur learned
of the fact and they Immediately
took charge of the matter of keeping
up the assessments, and also OF
prosecuting the search. About
three years ago, nothing having
been heard of Mr.. Sch@faer, and
the family giving him up through
foul play, application was made to
the grand lodge, A. O. U. W., for
the $1,000 insurance. That body
refused payment on the claim on the
ground that death was not sufficient
ly established. The assessments
were kept UP and another attempt
was made at the next meeting of
the Grand Lodge, but without sue
cess. A year later another attempt
was made. but there was a decided
disposition to allow the claim and at
the last meeting of the Grand Lodge
the 81, GOO was paid over to son at
LeSueur The burial of the remains
of Mr.. Schaffler couple of weeks
ago shows that the claim was pre-
maturely paid, and it is probable
that the bene6ciaries will be called
upon to pay the assessments during
the intea.ssa of payment of the claim
and the demise of Mr.. Sch@f1er.
It appears that after Mr.. Sch@ffier
left here he went to Wichita, Kan
sas, and after remaining there a
short time he became infatuated
with the Oklahoma boom, and
crossed over into the territory,
where he located at place called
Anadarko, in the Wichita s reserva-
ton. At this place some local
boomers, hearing that Mr.. Schafner
had considerable Of money, gained
his confidence and got him to invest
in their enterprises, and before Mr..
Sch@6aer was aware q it the sharp

AN OHIO MOB GIVES TWO MORE A
COAT OF VARNISH.

MANSFIELD, O., Sept. 23.-Another
mob broke loose here this morning and
Elder Ephram Bassinger, of Bluffton and
Silas Moot, of Lime, were it's victims
The two elders got off an Erie train early
this morning unknown to the authorities.
They were recognized by a small crowd
at the depot which refused to let them
enter a cab, then followed them up the
street and surrounded them near the
center of the city. They were then taken
by the mob to the Richland buggy works,
where Bassinger disrebed, but the crowd
tore Moot's clothing from his body, as ne
refused to disrobe himself.
A paint bucket and q brush were then
secured and a smoke stack varnish, a
tar-like substance. was dobbed over them
from head to foot. 1t was matted in
their hair and no part of their bodies
escaped but their faces. Their bodies
were then partially covered with their
clothing and the elders were marched to
the home Of e, H. Leiby, Zion follower
here, who was driven out Of the city last
Sunday. There they promised not to re-
turn to Mansfield, but later they said that
they agreed not to return unless Over
seer Piper ordered them to come. They
then were marched to the city prison and
imprisoned. BY applications of lard and
benzine the black varnish was cut and
after new outfits Of clothing were furn-
isned they were deported on Pennsyl-
vaniaA train at noon.
