Fred Roehr has big strapping farm at
Adrian N. D., and MIR. Rochr is Dig
fellow himself, as you will find out If you
try to lick him. A year ago Roehr's
mother bought a package Of flower seeds.
Inside she found three slips of paper, each
containing a girls name and address. One
was the name of Bessie Smith. The name
| seemed to strike a, soft place in Roehr's
heart and he wrote to the girl. She an
swered on little pink perfumed note paper
and they kept up a correspondence until
he sent his photograph and asked her to
marry him. The result was wedding two
| weeks ago. - $Et$t'':-et' a'.a ...
Roehr went down to Kings, Ind. to get
the girl and Abraham Long, another de-
voted admirer Of Bessie, shot at him.
ABE ambushed him on the way to a
| hotel and fired two shots at him, neither
Of which took effect The wedding took
place the next day and Abe heard about it
In jail. - ~ &l|. .
Mrs. Bessie Smith Roehr is now helping
run farm at Adrian. N. D., so big that
she cannot see, half way, across it.
