Married at Crookston.

!AS AoAAO"AuR AIOu tuc OFOOkSGOn
Daily Times of July Is, will be of in.
terest to Willmar people:
Thursday evening at 5 O'Clock, at
the home of the brides parents, will
take place the marriage of Mr.. August
Alstrom and Miss Grace Maybelle
Lusian, Rev. j. F. Mills, of Grand
Forks, officiating, assisted by Rey. I.
Allen COrbett, of Crookston. The
ceremony will be performed in the
presence OF the relatives and a few
close friends OF the contracting parties,
and will be followed by a wedding
supper, after which the bride and
groom will depart for Willmar for q
short visit with the parents of the
groom. They will continue on to the
East, taking in Buffalo and other i'm
portant poinIs, and will be at home to
their friends after September first in q
cozv cottage now in course of erection
in Jerome's addition.
The bride-elect is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mr.. J. L. Lusian, and is one
of our towns brightest and most popu-
lar young ladies. She is q graduate
OF our high school, and since complet-
i1g her studies has been engaged in
teaching. She possesses, aside from
her education, all of the many graces
and charms that contribute to the
happiness of married life, and Mr..
Alstrom is certainly to be copgratu-
lated on his good fortune in winning
the young lady he has for his bride.
1t isn't just exactly conventional to
speak OF the groom in that way, but
then no one is formal about the way
they address Gus or speak of him.
He's just good, plain, sensible fellow
whom everybody likes, and who has
come in touch with most all of our
citizens during the three years in which
be has oficiated as ticket clerk in the
Great Northern depot. He Is young
man of stability and good habits, and
his friends have no fear of his becom-
ing otherwise in his new relationship
to society.
Here's hoping that their journey to
the East may prove to be one of great
pleasure, and that their tickets for the
journey of life may lead by routes of
happiness, with their joys increasing
as each succeeding station is passed.
The TRIBUNE takes pleasure in an
nouncing that the happy event took
place on schedule time. The only
relatives present from willmar were
the groom's brother and sister, Mr..
Ole and Miss Lottie Alstrom. The
bridal pair arrived here on Saturday
night for few days stay before leay-
ing for the East, and have been rs-
ceiving the congratulations of their
numerous friends. The groom is so
we'll known here that further comment
on the above article is unnecessary.
August has been q resident of Will
mar since childhood, and only few
years ago left for Crookston to as
sumo his present position. He has
always held the high esteem of his
companions. The TRIBUNE joins his
Willmar friends in extending best
wishes for happy married life.

ST. CLOUDS POISONING CASE.
Former willmarites Nearly Lose Their
Lives as the Result Of an Insane
Husbands Deed.

The people of Willmar were greatly
surprised upon learning of the at
tempt of L. A. Garfield to kill his wife
by poisoning and to commit suicide.
The first news of the affair was re-
ceived here through the daily papers,
and it was great shock to those who
had always known the former resident
of our village as an upright citizen
1t developed later, however, that Mr..
Garfield was not responsible for his
deed, as he was found to be insane.
His subsequent arrest resulted in an
examination in probate court and he
was adjudged insane. The complaint
was made by his father, G. c. Can
field.
We understand the unfortunate man
had been an inmate of the St. Peter
hospital some years ago. The affair
is most distressing one for the fami-
ly and relatives, who have the pro-
found sympathy of all their acquaint-
ances. The following is an extract
from the first dispatch which appeared
in the Minneapolis Journal of the
10th inst:
L. A. Garfield lies at the point of
death and his wife is in serious
danger as the result of an alleged at
tempt at suicide and murder last even
ing
Garfield resisted every attempt to
save his life and the physicians were
compelled to use force before they
could give him q morphine injection.
Mrs. Garfield is partially conscious.
The only statement it has been pos
slble to obtain from her was in re-
sponse to question how she was
poisoned.
"My husband gave me medicine, "
she said. II was sick and he said he
could help me. l think he got the
wrong drug by mistake"
Garfield seemed determined to die.
He will answer neither the questions
of the physicians or of the police.

litchfeld vs.. st. Cloud.

Litchfeld will play at St. Cloud with
the latter team Saturday and Sunday.
July q and %. Hammered will do the
twirling for St. Cloud on the first date
while Pete Hanson will pitch on Sun
day. St. Cloud should prove an easy
mark, having been defeated twice by
the Willmars in the two games played
on the latter's grounds this week. A
game with the famous Wasecas is in
prospect to be played at the Lexing-
ton Park grounds, St. Paul, August
II. Waseca claims the best amateur
team in the state, so do we, and the
result should be game worth going
some distance to see. We are in
formed later that the ST. Cloud games
are somewhat in the air.-Litch6eld

Again 4 Victim.

Emil Christensen has been the victim
of several accidents at the Willmar
Bottling Works, cansed by the ex-
plosion of pop bottles. On Thursday

left arm from the same cause. The
piece of glass inflicted q wound over
half an inch deep, necessitating a
surgical operation. The accident en-
forced q lay-off and on Saturday Emil

NoIs Carlson Injured .

Last Sunday night an accident
happened to Nels Carlson that might
have caused him his life, but luckily
he escaped with slight injuries. He
was in company with Lewis Moline
and the two had spent the evening as
guests of the Rodlun family at the
Olof Olson cottage at Eagle Lake.
They started for Willmar shortly be-
fore eleven o'clock, and the night being
very dark it was difficult to keep the
road in the woods. Mr.. Moline had
gone ahead to act as pilot, while Mr..
Carlson drove the team. When about
five rods from the cottage, the wheels
struck stump and Nels was thr 5wn
out. He fell forcibly on his head and
was badly stunned, but managed to
keep a tight grasp on the lines. In
the meantime Moline came to his as
sistance and took him in charge. He
was taken back to the cottage and
given temporary relief. Upon investi-
CATION it was found that he had suffered
severe cut above his left eye and it
was feared that his injuries might
prove serious. An attempt was made
to send telephone message to Will
mar from the Sam Olson cottage,
nearly q half mile distant, but the
Central Office failed to respond. Mes
sages were sent to different places in
the hope of getting physician, and
finally Emil Ostlund, who was also q
visitor at the lake, made the trip to
Willmar on his wheel. It was about
two O'Clock in the morning when DR..
Harold Frost responded and dressed
the injuries. The victim was given
the best of care and later was removed
to Willmar in q carriage which had
been fitted up 80 as to make the journey
comfortable. He was taken TO the
home of his brother, c. B. Carlson,
where he is now resting comfortably.
His many friends will be glad to hear
that the injuries are not of such a
serious nature as at first reported.

ST. CLOUD WENT DOWN TO DEFEAT
BEFORE WILLMAR WEDNESDAY BY
AN AWFUL SCORE.
st: Cloud was defeated yesterday at
Wlllmar by score of 10 to 0. Will

the fourth. It did not score again
until the seventh, when three were
added. Three more in the eighth

A COMPLETE $huI.ouT.
st. Cloud Suffers Defost at the Hands
| OF WilImar by = Score Of 10 to O..

Game No. 2 was q disastrous one
for St. Cloud, and the genial boys OF
that city's ball team left Willmar as a
loser in both games played here.
Wix Tredway was in the box for
Willmar and did noble service. Bon
de was behind the bat in his usual
manner and the rest of the local ag-
gregation displayed their ability to
handle the game which proved so dis
astrously for the opponents. Ham,
merel and Brigham composed the St..
Cloud battery, but they proved alto
gether too weak for the Tallman team.
Hammered was hit hard, very hard.
The locals did exceptionally fine field
ing, Tyler especially being deserving
of credit for the work done near the
high board fence. Several home runs
were among the features. It was a
"hot' game of ball and the thermom-
eter registered likewise.
The St. Cloud papers acknowledge
defeat in the following fashion, which
is contrary to the course pursued by
those of Litch6eld when beaten by
W1llmar. There is an awful silence
10 the town down the line whenever
Willmar is victor.

NEW FREIGHT HOUSE
To Go Up In Willmar--ot Buildings $
to be Erected Soon.

Arrangements are in progress for
the new freight depot which is to be
constructed soon. The east end ele-
vator people have been ordered by the
Great Northern to vacate the grounds
and as soon as the work of removal
has been accomplished a large and
commodious depot will go up on the
old site. The size of the new building
will be about 15Ox30 feet. There will
be transfer platform about 400 feet
long for the proper handling offreight
and all couveniences will be added to
facilitate the work. Trackage on both
sides will give ample room for trans
ferring. We are not in position yet
to give full details, but suffice it to say,
that the plans call for q building which
will take care of all the freight busi-
ness in Willmar, which is considerable.
No definite information has been re-
ceived of late regarding the proposed
addition to 1.-THE: passenger depot. 1t
is probable that work will also be
commenced on that building while the
building crews are here.
The st. Paul and Kansas City Grain
Co. will put up a grain cleaning house
north of the Great Northern round
house. Work will be commenced at
once 80 as to have the building ready
for the fall business. It will have
capacity of 20 carloads a day. The
company has number of buildings
at different points. One located at
Doom, Iowa, was destroyed by fire last
winter, but the company decided not
to rebuild. It finds Willmar a good
distributing point and expects to do a
large amount of business here. With
the new terminal elevator which is in
course of construction at the west end,
there will be considerable grain
handled in Willmar and the enterprises
will furnish employment for an addi-
tional number of men. The city is now
looked upon as one of the big dis
tributing points and outside corpo-
rations have an eye on her for future
investments.
o. E. Ruble has not vet fully decided
upon his plans for the new building
which he proposes to erect on Fifth
street. 1t will be a5brick structure,
two stories in hei \ ht, and will be 81"
shaped, having q projection extending
to Litchfleld avenue, where tn ere vii
be another entrance. The part facing
Litch6eld avenue will be 25x9O. The
Kjos building, back of the Odd Eel
lows block, has been removed to q
new location in the First ward to give
room for the Litchfeld avenue ex-
tension.
A new cold storage plant will be put
up for Willmar meat men, but as yet
no definite plans have beer arrived at.
Messrs. Skoog & Anderson sustained
a heavy loss by the recent fire; and it
will be some time before plant which
will be to their liking can be completed.
The present state of affairs, they in
form US, are anything but convenient
for the handling of their meats. A
killing room, 1925, has been built
and there are two large furnaces for
boiling purposes. There is a pro-
liability that the new plant will be To-
Gated on another site.
