Estelle Swanson eldest daughter of

"For ] Love You Truly" Promptly
at six o'clock the bridal party entered
the reception room and took their
places beneath a bower of asparagus,

wedding march was played by Miss
Millie Swanson, sister of the bride.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Sigurd Olson of Oslo Minnesota ac-
cording to the ritual of the Lutheran
church.
After the ceremony a sumptuous
wedding dinner was served.
The rooms were tastefully decor
ated in asparagus, smilax and cut
flowers.
The bride wore handsome gown
of white satin and carried a bridal
bouquet of lilies of the valley and white
roses. The BRIDES going away gown
was of dark blue broadcloth and hat
to match.
The out of town guests were, Mr..
and Mrs. o. @. Hanson, of Morris
Minn., parents of the groom, Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Robertson and Miss Adele
Melgaard of Argyle, Mrs. Ed. Mosse-
fin of Fertile and Mrs. DR.. o. F. Mel
by of Thief River Falls.
The bride has grown up from child
hood in this city, being graduate of
the Warren High School and the
Duluth Normal School and has large
number of friends who extend the
best wishes for the future happiness.
The groom is highly esteemed
young business man of Litchfield,
MINI.
The happy couple left amid showers
of rice on the flyer for an extended
wedding trip to the cities. After Dec.
1st they will be at home to their
friends in Litchfield, Mimi.

School Notes.

Supt. Fuller and the Misses Steichen,
Mcguire and johnson will attend the
Teachers State Association at Mime
apolis the last of this week. There
will be no regular session of school in
the High School during their absence,
altho pupils taking normal work will
have to go to their classes,
Miss Davis, of the Lincoln school,
spent Saturday and Sunday in Litch-
field.
The Glee Club Girls missed their re-
gular Friday morning practice last
week, but they learned something of
more immediate value for Mr.. Fuller
gave US some valuable hints on the
art of roofing and explained some
mysterious foot ball terms.
At jolly mass meeting last Friday
after school we practised school yells
and songs. Ezra Bicknen and Edith
CARNEY were appointed yell masters
for Saturdays games.
The basement recitation room was
fitted with electric lights last Satur-
day morning. This may help few
who were in the habit of using a flick
ering candle.
There was no examinations in
Bookkeeping this month. This shows
mercy for some of US.
We would merely suggest that post
graduates hadn't better stay out so
late at night.
A photo of the foot ball boys as they
appeared on the grounds Saturday
was passed around by fair lad in the
Senior class, We hope it was not his
picture that he was SO proud of.
Since the notice last week certain
Freshman girls have received Johnie's
candy and "Wild Mint" gum. We're
sorry but we can't help it.

The English law as to recovery Of
betting debts has been source Of in

years. The gaming acts of 1S45 and

SUE FOR GATES.
Railroad Commission Hearing
on Nov. 3Oth.

mayor w. r. COOl6y mas ul0Q
petition with the railroad and ware
house commission for the establish
ment of gates at the Great Northern
Railway crossings on Fifth, Sixth and
Seventh streets, and the railroad COM
mission has appointed a hearing to be
held at the armory in this city on
Tuesday, November 3Oth, at 9 O'Clock
in the forenoon.
Besides the formal features of the
application, the petitioner sets QUIT
FoUrTH: That the said streets are
important public crossings and high
ways within the said City and are
daily greatly used by the public ira
yelling over the said streets and
across the said railway tracks and are
in fact the principal avenues of travel
within the said City over the said
railway tracks and right of way.
FIFTH: That at each of said cross
ings and at both sides of the same
there are many buildings such as ele-
vators, cold storage plants, lumber
yards and business houses, which COM
pletely shut out the view of the tracks
to pedestrians and people driving
teams in crossing the said railway
tracks until they are nearly upon the
tracks, thereby exposing those peo-
pie rightly using the said streets and
crossings to great danger and hazard
to life and property from approaching
and passing trains.
SIXTH: That the said crossings are
wholly open and unprotected in every
way and no effort has ever been made
by the said Company to protect or
safeguard the public from danger
through passing trains.
SEVENTH: That by reason of pass
ing and approaching trains being hid
den from view to one about to cross
said tracks upon the said streets, the
said crossings as now existing are of a
highly dangerous nature and charac-
ter to the general public of the said
city of Morris.
EIGHTH: That several accidents
have occurred within the six years
last past at said crossings through
collisions with trains by people using
the said crossings, some of serious
nature resulting in severe injuries.
NINTH: That it is necessary, in
order to protect and safeguard pro-
perly and adequately the said cross--
ings and thereby render them safe
and passable to pedestrians and peo-
pie driving teams and rightfully using
the same, that the said street cross
ing should be equipped and installed
with suitable and proper system Of
railway gates in charge of COM
petent gate keeper during the greater
portion of the day while said crossings
are subjected to heavy traffic.

TOO PICTURESQUE.
White Hat and Red Whiskers
Bring Series of Troubles.

George Tomylson or Tomlinson has
had two terminal charges lodged
against him in the past week, both of
which he probably would have escap-
ed but for his white hat and red
Whiskers.
Tomlinson has been working in Nor
ris for several weeks, and boarded at
the Northwestern Hotel. Thursday
morning he disappeared leaving a
balance still due on his board bill, and
Martin Holmlund swore out COM
plant for his arrest. Sheriff Donovan
made shrewd guess that Tomlinson
had taken the train to Minneapolis,
and called up the chief of police there,
and one of the detectives made a
grand stand play and arrested Tomlin-
son just as he left the train. The
story was thus told in the Minneapolis
Journal
A breezy white hat, such as is worn
at seashore resorts during the summer
season, proved the undoing of George
VI NlOCIlS3 ldSu
Tomilson is wanted in Morris on a
charge of grand larceny, and the local
police caused his arrest at the instiga-
tion of the authorities in Morris.
"Arrest Tomilson. Wears white
hat. Has red whiskers. On Great
Northern train. Hold for me-"
This was the telegram received by
Chief Frank T. Corriston from Sheriff
J. Donovan of Morris last night. The
chief looked at his watch, and sum-
moned Detective John Morrissey.
"You have but ten minutes to make
the train,'' he said.
Morrissey hurried to the station, the
telegraphic description of the man in
his hand. Among the crowd which
wearing a white flannel hat and be-
meath it large growth of red
whiskers.
"This is too easy" said Morrissey.
as he edged through the crowd and
grabbed Tomilson.
Sheriff Donovan went to Mime
apoiis on Thursday night and brought
Tomlinson back the next day. On
Saturday he was arraigned before
Justice Morrison on the charge of
jumping board bill.
But meanwhile the story in the city
papers had had other readers than the
Morris people, and on Saturday after
noon, a lady arrived from Minneapolis
who said that she was the wife of Mr..
Tomlinson of the white hat and red
whiskers. Her little daughter ac-
companied her.
This put new face on the affair, as
Mr.. Tomlinson was married here only
couple of weeks ago to Ella Cough
lin. Mr.. Tomlinson was again taken
into custody on a warrant sworn out
by Ella Coughlin, charging bigamy.
He was given his hearing before
Justice Morrison on Wednesday and
Thursday, and was bound over to the
grand jury, bail being placed at $500,
which was not furnished.
