APPEAL CASE TO
SUPREME COURT
MICHIGAN WOMAN IS .hWARDED Q
$4,000 NORTH DAKOTA Es-
STATE ON COMMON LAW
MARRIAGE.

Grand Forks, N. D., June 21.-The
Anton Peterson will contest case has
been appealed to the supreme court
by the relatives who reside in Norway.
Judge Cowan decided that Dorothy
Miesen and her son, were entitled to
the estate, valued at $4,000. They
reside in Michigan, and claimed that
there had been an agreement to marry
which constituted a common law mar
plage. This happened khirty years
ago.
A wedding was planned and when
Peterson excused himself in saloon
and went TO back room to wash his
hands and face before the ceremony
he forgot to come back. He came to
North Dakota and amassed a small
fortune. Dorothy mourned awhile
and then married a neighbor. Si1
children were the result OF this union
After the death of Peterson his
movements from the time he left Nor
way until he came to North Dakots
were traced and the Michigan woman
was discovered. She put in CLAIM
for the estate. In order to secure th'
money she found 1t necessary to de-
clare her marriage to the Michigan
man illegal. She insisted that the ar
rangement with Peterson constitutes
legal binding marriage.
The Norwegian relatives Of Peter
son are confident that they will b
successful in the supreme court.

SMALL WRECK ON N. P.
Track Torn Up Near Elliott When
Car Left Rails.

Lisbon Gazette: There was small
sized wreck on the N. P. about three
miles east of Elliott Friday. One car
on the east bound freight lett the
track and refused to return to place
until it had run nearly one-half mile
on the ties, breaking several ties and
disfiguring the track generally. The
east-bound passenger was delayed
here about two hours and the train
crew and passengers took in the En-

train then proceeded to Elliott where
fl remained until midnight before the
track was cleared and repaired so they
could move on. The section crew OF

CharleeVv'SAunt
by CAD ALLARD.

There Is to occur at Convention Hall
Friday evening one Of the most meri-
torious entertainments ever placed be-
fore Chickasha audience.
"charlie's Aunt" has in It just
enough OF the sentimental to make
the most fastidious enjoy it; and just
enough Of the humorous TO make the
lover Of the light and airy feel that
he's getting lis moneys worth.
The object of the entertainment is
one that should bring all liheral-mind-
ed citizens out OF their homes.
What can create within mortal man
q more enjoyable and satisfactory feel
ing than that of combining
Charity with pIeasure2
The proceeds of this rare entertain
ment are to be turned to the benefit
fund in the Oklahoma Industrial In
stitute and College.
The talent that gives this entertain
ment is in the main volunteer and GER
tainIy all citizens who are able will
lend their mite through attendance.
A brief mention of the origin and
possibility of this scholarship move
ment may be OF interest to our citi-
zens.
Miss Annie Wade O'Neill, who is
graduate of the great school of learn
ing in Mississippi, after which this
school is modelled, conceived the idea
of starting scholarship movement
that might be taken up and worked in
all parts of the state and with the aid
of the young women's society of the
city, she some time since put on foot
plan that will make the undertaking
statewide. Miss O'Neill is promised
that if Chickasha is successful in Sc
curing a life scholarship for the col
lege other towns and cities in the state
will do as we'll The women's feder-
ated clubs Of the state are on record
as promising to put forth their efforts
in the great work
Chickasha, of course, will reap bene-
fit from the students thus named, but
aside from this fact the course is a
meritorious one, and
You must be present Friday evening
at the Folly to help start it off with
rousing big attendance:
