WiIimar II; Benson e.

A series of goose-eggs until the
seventh inning. That was the record
made by the Benson ball team at the
game played here with the local team
last Thursday afternoon. It was al
most complete shut-out for Benson,
-one lonely score in the seventh inn
ing, made by left-felder Houck, who
proved the hero of the occasion, and
two more innings played with no better
success than in the first six. The
Willmarites had fourteen scores to
their credit when the game closed, and
thus ended not only an uninteresting
game but also one which was decidedly
one sided. The most lively time dur
ing the contest was when the locals
brought in seven runs in the eighth
inning. The following tells the tale
of scores by innings:

= Rev. Campbeil's Address.

A large congregation at the Presby-
terian church last Sunday morning
listened to very interesting address
by Mr.. 0. Fl. Campbell of Litchfeld,
who spoke of the gathering at the last
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church held at Des Moines, Ia. Mr..
Campbell was the Elder delegate from
the St. Cloud Presbytery and his
account of the great work accomplished
there was all the more interesting from
the fact that he had been there in
person and drew inspiration from the
great gathering. Mr.. Campbell was
accompanied by his wife during his
visit to Willmar and they were the
guests of Willmar friends during their
stay here.

Brown -Branton Nuptlals.

The following account ofthe Brown
Branton wedding which occurred in
Minneapolis last Wednesday>is taken
from the Minneapolis Journal of that
date:
A pretty wedding of the day was
that of Miss Alice Brown and Dr..
Berton Branton, which was solemnized
c.. L. Brown, 900 Fourth street SE.,
at o'clock. The rooms were; trans
formed with green into bowers of mid
summer beauty. In the reception hall
tall palms hid the stairs, and a bank
of the palms and ferns was arranged
in one corner of the parlor, with a
large cluster of bride roses on each
side. A pillow of delicate white sweet
peas offset with ferns was on the
mantle, and bouquets of bride roses
and sweet peas cast their fragrance
thru the rooms. The archways were
outlined with the glossy green of oak
boughs and smilax, while the .chande-
liers were wound with the smilax.
Before the service Harold B. Handy,
a cousin of the bride, sang ''Thine for
Life," by Mascheroni, and at the con-
clusion, ''When Song Is Sweet" by
Gertrude San Souci. Mrs. Frank G..
Handy was at the piano. AS the harp
and violin sounded the 'Lohengr
bridal chorus, Miss Martha Randall
of Hamline and Miss Margaret Brown,
sister of the bride, stretched white rib
bons from the stairway to the impro-
vised altar. Little Isoabel Mcdonald
in a white frock preceded the bride,
bearing the ring in long-stemmed
American Beauty rose.
The bride was met at the stair by
her father, who gave her in marriage.
Her gown was of imported white French
lawn with yoke of baby Irish lace,
and finished with tucked tlounces
trimmed with insets of lace. She wore
long veil of tulle caught with lilies
of the valley, and carried bouquet
of the same flower. The service was
read by Rev. A. Fl. Tebbets, formerly
pastor of the Congregational church
at Morris, where Judge and Mrs.
Brown lived. Only the relatives and
intimate friends of the family were
present.
DR.. and Mrs. Branton will leave
this evening for Atwater, where they
will be at home after Aug. l. DR..
Branton was graduated last year from
the medical department of the univer-
sity. He is a member of the Theta
Delta Chi fraternity.

Damaging Foot Lake Road and
Fined $40. He Appeals.

The case of the State of Minnesota
VS.. Peter Freeberg, charged with
obstructing public highway by re-
moving the bridge on Foot Lake dump.
came up before Judge Muller in the
municipal court. yesterday forenoon
at ten O'Clock. County Attorney Geo.
H. Bitterness and City Attorney Sam
Porter appeared for the state and
Attorneys R. W. Stanford and Jno.
M. Downs conducted the defense. Aug.
J. Skataas and S. Konstalie were
called to prove that the road had been
in public use for more than six years,
and also that the bridge was not in
place on July 5. G. A. Olson was
called and testified that in CONVEX
sation Peter Freeberg said that he had
a right to remove the bridge, tho he
did not state that he had done so.
O. K. Severinson testified that last
year Freeberg had stated to the coun-
Gil that he would blow up the bridge.
Peter Bonde testified that in April of
last year he as a street commissioner
had done some repairing on the dump.
James Cleary, a railway employe,
testified that about three o'clock on
the morning of the Fourth of July be
had seen the defendant walking on the
track west from the railroad bridge.
At this point an adjournment was
taken until two O'Clock p. m. When
court opened again Russell Spicer and
A. P. Bergeson testified that defendant
had practically admitted his guilt by
saying that it was the only way to get
the matter into court and get it settled.
The state rested and the defense called
the city clerk and offered to introduce
evidence from the records showing
th at the street committee had refused
to do any work on the dump. A long
argument resulted, the court finally
sustaining an objection by the state
to the introduction of this evidence.
The defense then rested. The Judge
decided that Bonded Road No. l was
a legal road, having become so by
user, and that defendant was guilty of
having removed the bridge, and i'm
posed a fine of $40 and costs, with an
alternative of thirty days in jail if
fine is not paid. The defendant ap-
pealed to the district court.
