done by the deft fingers of the
oriental artists. Along veil that
swept the floor a couple Of yards
gave the charming lady the fin
ishing air Of the bride. The beau
tiful gown was agift to the
bride from Mrs. Moses Dillon,
who purchased it in India for
this occasion. The ceremony
was that Of the Episcopal ritual
and during the period of the ex-
change of VOWS the piano con-
tinued to tender air.
After the ceremony there was
the usual season for congratula-
tions and then the wedding sup
per, which because OF the num-
Der of the guests was served as
they sat about the rooms in con-
geniel groups. Another hour
was spent in general sociabifity;
many of the guests spent large
part of their time in the inspec-
ton Of the beautiful array Of
gifts on display in the upper hall.
At II O'Clock the last guest had
said good night and the couple
were at liberty to make their
preparations for their wedding
journey which will take them to
Washington City where they
will remain for a week and will
then return to this city for a
short stay before going to Will
liston where they will make their
home.

OversonI- Dillon
Grand Wedding

uS OICI1lllS GVSAillS OetzSllC,
of Sterling, H., in it's issue of
Thursday, June 21, has the fol-
lowing article in regard to the
marriage of w. B. Qverson of
this city to Miss Alice Dillon:
cat the home ofColonel Moses
Dillon on Wednesday evening a
large company witnessed the
marriage of Miss Alice, the
youngest daughter Of Colonel
Dillon, to Mr.. Willard B. Over
son, a prominent attorney Of
Williston, North Dakota. The
guests numbered couple of
hundred and filed the spacious
rooms of the Dillon mansion
with one Of the most brilliant
companies that has gathered in
this city for some time. Forsev-
eral weeks the affair has held the
attention of a large part Of the
society element in the city and
the numerous prenuptial func-
tions given for the couple have
been among the most notable
since the Clark Tracy wedding
of a year ago.
The wedding last evening took
place in the living room, from
which there are wide doors open
ing into the dining room and the
front parlor. The, decorations
had been arranged to provide
for a convenient view Of the cere-
mony for the guests.
A large bay window facing the
south had been filled with a mass
of palms and a canopy of woven
smilax was carried forward un-
TIL it reached the chandelier in
the center Of the room. Thisaar-
rangement gave the effect Of a.
bower without sacrificing any
room and the heavy green Of the
palms was, relieved by the judi
cious use of a large number of
pink roses. The dining room
was also elaborately decorated
in pink and green, the roses be-
ing used there in even, greater
profusion than in the parlor
where the ceremony was per-
formed. The whole scheme was
in green and pink and attracted
universal comment from the
guests for it's taste and great
beauty. This work was done
by a half dozen OF the Intimate
friends of the bride and they GER
tainly left nothing for the profes-
sional decorator to cavil at. In
fact there was a finish and deli-
cacy about the entire scheme
that is rarely seen coming from
the hands of the paid artists.
The ceremony took place
promptly on the hour set. Mrs.
w. S. Bell, an old friend Of the
bride. announced the coming of
the bridal party by playing a
wedding march on the piano.
Miss Helen Grimes, niece, and
Master Zale Dillon, Jr., appeared
first and made way for the party
by carrying broad ribbons from
the stairway across the hall and
through the front parlor to the
place prepared for the ceremony.
Rev: Mr.. w. G.. Walker of Madi-
son, Wis.,. who performed the
marriage; took bis place and a
moment later Mr.. Overson with
DR.. Joseph Dillon Of Fargo, n.
D., a brother of the bride, ap-
peared. Following them came
little Miss Ahce> Grimes bearing
a asingles lilly in the heart Of
which layathe ring; she was fol-
lowed by the matron Of honor,

A. SAD DEATH
Young Lady Passes Away After Short
illness

The report of the death of Miss
Amy Mefford Sunday morning came
as dreadful shock to her many
friends in this city. 1t was known
that she had been ill for the past
three weeks, but no one dreamed that
her illness was of such a serious
nature and everyone thought that her
recovery was but matter of very
short time but her trouble grew rapid
ly more and more unconquerable and
yesterday she succumbed to the in
.evitable
About a year ago she met with an
accident while on her bicycle, but
she never complained Of any pain and
no attention was paid the occurrence
A month ago she was attacked by
nervous spells which gradually in
creased in severity and a physician
was summoned. He Immediately
discovered that the spine was affected
and that nothing could be done but to
care for her as tenderly as possible.
Her aunt. Mrs. Susie Mcpherson
who has cared for her since her
mothers death. was unremitting in
her attention and was at her bedside
day and night.
Amy was a native of Carson City
and was about sixteen years of age
She possessed a lovable disposition
and was always thoughtful of the
comfort of others. Her devotion to
her aunt and grandmother was the
subject of universal remark.
The funeral will take place this
afternoon from the Episcopal church
at two o'clock and friends and &C
quaintances are invited to attend.
The coffin vii be opened at the
church.
