Flowers and gifts are still the pre-

DDS of receiving the flowers Is carried
out by the class of one of the fashion

points two of her special friends as

ON The RAMPAGE
John Markle, Of Lakeside, Wants
HIS Daughters to Stay
on the Farm.

John Markle. OF Lakeside, is after the
scalp of his son-in.law. Harry Soderberg,
who also has claim in the vicinity Of
Lakeside.
1t appears the Markle and hls wife part

to stay on the farm with MIN.
Some time last summer Mr.. Soderberg,
! Mrs Markle and the oldest daughter went
to Estevan. Canada. where license was
procured and Mr.. Soderberg and the
daughter were married. with the consent
Of the mother bu, sorely agains, the will Of
Mr.. Markle.
As the girl was not Of age. a little Jug
Cling with the truth was resorted to IN or

However. the happy couple came back
to Valley County and settled upon Mr..
Soderberg's claim and We understand are
rather comfortably situated.
But Old John is after them and has been
harrassing the young people ever since
trying to get the law to step in and separ-

Wednesday.
Bail was liked a. $780, which the defend

Papa Markle also wants TO get the young
er daughter to stay on the farm. but so far
she has succeeded IN keeping with her
mother. II appears that John has a legal
right to detain the young girl. il he can get
her on Montana soil.
Las, Saturday this part of the eontrov-
ersy reached a focus when Mrs. Markie
and the girl got OFF the train at culber;son
TO visit the Soderberg's. Papa Marklr
spied them and stirred up things generally.
but before the proper papers were secured
for the arrest of the girl. she had succeed
ed in making her escape to North Dakota
accompanied by her mother.
The last seen OF them in Culberison they
were hiking over the prairie going east by
team. with old John in frantic pursuit on
horseback but without warrant. We un-
derstand the lady and daughter succeeded
in reaching North Dakota where they are
safe frcm Papa.

attempted double play. This put
Forde on third, and he came in on J..

In the fourth with one down, Milli-

This proved to be the winning run, for
