j Crash in Plate Glass

A team belonging to John Bergin,
of Kerkhoven, indulged in a runaway
on our streets last Thursday. The
team was standing in front of Sund-
berg & Stromberg's feed store, and
Mr.. Bergin's young son was engaged
in moving the wagon seat. The seat
slipped ard the horses became fright
ened. The young man had climbed
onto the wagon tongue to replace the
seat and was obliged to remain in
that perilous position while the horses
madly dashed up Litch6eld avenue.
They turned the Fifth street corner
and ran against the Odd Fellows
building, smashing two large plate
glass windows. The boy escaped un-
hurt, which seemed almost miracle,
and the horses and wagon also es-
capped injuries. The Boyd delivery
wagon and some bystanders had q
narrow escape.

$500 Loss By Fire.

The Willmar Brick Yard was the
scene of a conhagration last Friday
morning, which destroyed about 200
cords of wood. The fire alarm was
turned in promptly, but owing to the
distance, the fremen were unable to
reach the scene in time to save the
wood. There was high wind blow
Ing at the same time. Some lumber
and a shed used for sleeping pur-
poses were also consumed. The fire
department did good service, however,
in preventing the spread of the fire to
the dwelling house near by, used as q
boarding place for the employees. The
brick company had no insurance, and
the loss will amount to about $500.
The fire was caused by sparks from
the engine.

Two commendabIe Foats.

Our excellens contemporary, the
Willmar Tribune, has exhibited two
commendable feats of enterprise dur
ing the past month. The first was
shown in it's Easter edition, boom
gun for Willmar and Kandiyohi
county, and a lot of the people therein
contained. The second was a map
OF the new Seventh Congressional
district of Minnesota, set with type by
Editor Victor E. Lawson. The latter
was certainly difficult, the editor hav-
ing to use inverted border to form the
boundary liBe of counties, and dotted
leaders for the railroads, which, with
their curves, etc., made the work all
the more difficult. t.-Redwood Gazette.

Wedding Bells at Sioux CITY.

May 2, 1901, at 3 p. M, Mrs. Cathe-
rine Farnsworth, daughter of E. P.
Matthews Of Willmar, was united in
marriage to Mr.. Robert Fowle OF
Sioux City, Iowa, at the Vendome
Hotel, of which Mr.. Fowle is proprie-
tor.
The ceremony was performed under
large wedding bell of pink and white
carnations and sweet peas. Sus-
pended from the bell were strings of
smilax, held by six little children,
and forming back ground, were
many varieties of palms. Large bou-
quets of roses and carnations deco
rated the rooms.
Atthe strains of Mendelssohn's We'd
ding March, played by Miss Andrus,
the bride entered the room leaning
upon the arm of her brother, Mr.. John
Matthews, who gave her away. She
was gowned in pearl gray peau de
sole silk, trimmed with cream colored
applique. Her bouquet was of pink
roses. During the service the
"Flower Song' by Lange was softly
played.
The wedding supper was served at
/ o'clock. The table decorations car
ried out the prevailing colors, pink
and white. Ribbons were stretched
from corner to corner ending in large
bows. An abundance of flowers were
tastily arranged on the table. The
ices served were in the forms of doves
and Easter lilies.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fowle left on the even
ing train for an extended trip in the
East, stopping at the Pan-American
exposition on their return.
The relatives of the bride present
were Mrs. Alice Dwyer of Minnea-
polls, Mr.. and Mrs. John Matthews of
st. Paul. Those of the groom were
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Giem, Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel Myers and Miss Hattie
Fowle of Sioux City. Others present
were Dr.. John Schlawig, Mrs. Rob-
erts, Mr.. and Mrs. Frye, of Sioux
City; Mr.. and Mrs. James E. Nelson
and Miss Grace Andrus of W;llmar.

Death Of William Hardv.

Inc f. G. Hardy family at Aber-
deem, S. OAK. has been sorely af-
nlcted, and recently the Angel of
Death removed from them their 10
year old son, William j., who died of
typhoid fever, after brief illness.
The remains we're taken to Willmar
for burial and arrived here on Satur-
day. The funeral took place from St.
Luke's Episcopal church at four
O'Clock p. NJ, Rey. D. T. Booth. the
former pastor of the family, conduct
Ing the service. The rem aims were in
tered in Fairview cemetery.
The affair was a particularly sad
one, inasmuch as only three members
OF the family, Harry, Charles and AL
fred, were able to be present at the
funeral. Mrs. Hardy has been seri-
ously i'll with pneumonia, and the re-
naming members of the family we're
obliged to remain at her bedside.
The family has the profound SYM
pathy OF large circle of friends in
their bereavement.

Ceased to Exist.

The Willmar Argus. after a check
cred career of sixteen years and
eighteen weeks, announced last week
that it would be issued no more but
will be merged into the Gazette. J..
A. Wharton, its last owner, was
given good price for his good will
and subscription list and retains his
outfit which he will move elsewhere.
Three years ago Mr.. Wharton picked
up the Argus where Postmaster Birch
dropped it. He at once raised the
standard of the paper as a local
newspaper and made hard and de-
termined struggle to establish the
same on a paying basis. That he
failed was no fault of his hustling
qualities. At some other pOiut with
different conditions meeting him Mr..
Wharton will meet with the pecuniary
success which his hard work merits.
The TRIBUNE and the ARGUS have
often been at loggerheads, and at
times we may have become personal
in our thrusts and parties, but We
hope all personal illfeeling may be
forgotten. We understand that Mr..
Wharton plans to remain at Willmar
until the first of June to close up his
printing business. Also that he has
received 6attering offer to become
q writer upon the Pioneer Press staff,
for which we congratulate him. He
has as yet not decided what he will do.
Meanwhile Willmar has but two
which will no doubt
grow stronger and better for the
change.

Showed Enterprise.

An elegant Easter special of the

ally examine it until within the past
few days. AS a whole it was first

the part of Willmar's business men
who so literally patronized the pub
fishers, as we'll as the hustling pub
fishers themselves. Herald, Slayton,

Fire and Water,

The home of DR.. W. E. MacLaugh-

citement last Thursday, caused by the
bursting of water pipe. By mistake

out. The fire laddies soon found that
their services were not needed, there
being already quite a stream of water.
Prompt assistance succeeded in shut
ing off the water and prevented much

Going TO Willmar:

The annual meeting of the Nor
wegian Lutheran Free church will not
take place in Minneapolis, but will
doubtless be held in Willmar. The
meeting was originally called for Min
neapolis and was to be held June 5 to
IL. Whether there has been any
change in the date is not known here.
The men who are arranging for the
meeting feared that Trinity congrega-
tion in Minneapolis, of which Rev. NJ.
Falk Gjertsen is pastor, would muster
perhaps two hundred voters, and in
that way secure control of the meeting.
The idea of holdingI the meeting else
where was encouraged by some of the
more prominent members of Rev.
Gjertsen's congregation, who are not
at all satisfied with the hurried man.
