WEEDS HIS sTEPDAUGHTER.
A Sioux Falls Man Remarrles the Day
After He Secures a Divorce.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. T. Fred
Linch, a resident Of Sioux Falls, is
having a somewhat unusual expert
ence in the matrimonial line. Di-
vorced one day by his wife and mar
ried the following day to his step
daughter, with the question Of the le-
gality of the marriage to his step
daughter raised is part Of the ex-
perience of Linch.
When Linch and his stepdaughter
appeared at the Office Of the clerk Of
courts in this city and procured a
marriage license they gave their
names as Fred Linch, aged 35, and
Miss Gertrude Souvergner, aged 10.
To secure the license it was necessary
for both the prospective groom and
bride to swear that they were not re-
lated to each other. AS soon as the
license was granted the couple pre-
scented themselves before County
Judge Bailey, who performed the mar
riage ceremony.
The law was looked up and in the
civil code, part 3, under the head of
personal relations and marriage, was
found the following:
Section SO. If either party to a
marriage be incapable from physical
causes of entering into the marriage
state, or if the consent of either be
obtained by fraud or force, the mar
riage is voidable. Every marriage of
a stepfather with a stepdaughter, or
of stepmother with a stepson, is il
| legal and void"
1t is understood that the attention
of the states attorney has been called
to the matter

Painful Accident.

Valentine, Neb., Feb. Especial to
The News: Mr. Adams, who is en-
ployed in the butcher shop of Bauman
& Bacherlor, met with a very painful
accident and one that might have prov
en- more serious but for help and
prompt action being near at hand.
He was washing out the sausage
grinder while the power was on,
and caught his hand in the grinder.
Before the machinery could be stopped
it had crushed his middle and third
fingers of the right hand down to the
first joint, entirely losing that portion
above the joints. Mr.. Adams was for
merly employed as travelling salesman
for Swift e Co.

A NEW AUCTION PLAN.
Which Will Benefit Farmers as Well
as Norfolk Business Interests.

Auctioneer George B. Carroll of this
city today announces a new idea of
marketing in Norfolk which ought to
prove benefit to all of the farmers
of this region, as well as to the city of
Norfolk. Mr.. Carroll, beginning with
Saturday, Feb. Is, will hold auction
sales on his own account and will sell
at such auctions all of the property
that is brought to him from Norfolk
and the surrounding territory.
Every farmer who has a few odds
and ends which he desires converted
into cash, will be able, under Mr.. Car
rolls plan, to find an auctioneer ready
to handle the goods. AS it is expected
that large number will bring In in
stallments of goods for the auction,
the plan will make it worth while for
Mr. Carroll.
The first sale will be held Saturday
Feb. Is, on the Foster lot, between
Fourth and Fifth streets on Norfolk
avenue.
Such sales have been going on in
some cities for a long time but this
will be an innovation so far as Nor
| folk is concerned.

MAY BUY BIG MACHINERY.
Council viii Look Into Water Works
Pumps-Would Mean $4,000.

The question of purchasing an en-
tirely new set Of pumping apparatus
for the water works plant was brought
before the city council Thursday even
ing The question was introduced by
Mayor Durland as a subject for inves-
tigation and consideration. 1t was
estimated that the new equipment
would cost about $4,000.
Mayor Durland reminded the coun.
Gil that the water works plant had
been constructed in 1888 and that like
everything else that fiourished in Nor
folk in the eighties 1t had grown old.
The mayor spoke especially of an in
novation in water pumping, a Fair
banks-Morse suction gas producer and
engine that is said to economic on
coal by utilizing coal gas. The Stan
ton water plant is SO equipped and
the mayor suggested a visit to Stan
ton. He said that II. A. Pasewalk had
seen the pumping engine at Stanton
and spoke highly of it's work. Mayor
Durland thought that if by an invest
ment of $4,000 the city could be saved
over $1,000 year in repairs and coal
bills that new machinery should be
installed
The appointment of the investiga-
ton committee to visit the Stanton
plant was authorized and Councilmen
Craven, Bucholz, Dolan and Kaufman
were named as the committee.
City Engineer Salmon said that he
knew nothing of the merits of the new
engine but that it was a proposition
that nothing was as certain as steam.
The new engine was something with
which the councilmen were not IA
miliar and about which nothing can
be known until after the Stanton visit.
Mayor Durland declared that the
matter was brought up merely for in.
vestigation and discussion. The new
engine would replace the present boil
ers and engines which have been in
use for about twenty years.

Must BUY Tickets in Missouri.

On and after February passengers
who have failed to purchase tickets
will not be allowed to board Burling
ton trains in the state of Missouri
Notices to this effect were posted in
every ticket Office and passenger depot

read as follows:
"On and after February 9, passen'
gers who are not provided with tick,
cts will not be permitted to enter cars
on trains leaving stations in Missouri
where ticket Offices are maintained
Tickets must be shown to trainmen
before passengers will be admitted tC

BiBBERS FALL EASY.
Why Luck" Favors the Bibber Elk
planned by Norfolk Doctor.

Drunk men are never hurt" You
hear that said everyday. How many
people know why.
When man falls from the water
wagon and takes literal tumble af-
forwards, people say ANY man but
a drunk man would have been killed"
And they straightway credit some evil
genius with guardianship of the tip
piers.
Dr.. Mackay was discussing the mat.
ter the other day and said that the
whole mystery of the drunk mans
luck was due to very simple fact.
"The drunk man never tries to save
himself. That is all. How many falls
would be serious if we did not throw
up our hands wildly in an impossible
effort to save ourselves?. The drunk
mans unconscious motto is let well
enough alone Accidents are usually
augmented by violent and impulsive
attempts to escape danger"
That's ALL" said the doctor.

ANOTHER WEST POINT FACTORY?

in prospect for West Point. II is pro.
posed to establish a plant for the man
ufacture of sulky plows. The pillow
intended to be manufactured is pat
ented and is a marked Improvement
upon the old style sulky pow In that
the draft is directly upon the pillow in

inch pillow of this design is less than
that upon a sixteen-inch of any other
make. The project is backed by local
capitalists who have the means to in

,'WlLL THAT DOG BE AN ISSUE?
Mayor and Councilmen Are Receiving
Complaints on Doq-killina.

Norfolk has not become so accus-
toned to shooting that the crack of a
revolver on Norfolk avenue has ceased
to occasion excitement. No real
shooting having occurred in Norfolk
for a moon or two, the slaughter of a
dog on Norfolk avenue the other day
continues to create something of a
furore along Norfolk avenue where
many people witnessed the attempted
official and public execution Of the
canine in question.
Many complaints in regard to the
shooting of the dog have been lodged
with the mayor and with councilmen.
All of which arouses the interesting
question as to whether or not the MUIR
der of a stray cur could be made an
issue in city politics. A city election
is approaching.
Friends of the administration allege
that they have a damaging indictment
against the murdered dog. Critics
say that the murder was premeditated
and that the dog on the occasion did
nothing to provoke it. OF course, the
more serious proposition is that dogs
should not be shot on Norfolk avenue
