FIFTY YEARS OF Welded
LIFE IN MURRAY HOME
Couple in Sumter Celebrate
Occasion.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. w F. Murray, at
their pretty country home Messy
DELL" near Americas, celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary in the
afternoon of the 18th inst, their
children, grandchildren, friends and
relatives uniting at their home in the
enjoyment of the occasion.
The home was prettily decked in
bright colored chrysanthemums, ferns
and autumn foliage, presenting a
charming scene.
Mr.. Murray is seyenty-seven years
old and has lived all his life in Sum
ter county on the homestead which
was settled by his father in his only
sons infancy
Death has never Swallowed the i'm
mediate home of this lovely couple.
They were blessed with eight children,
all of whom are married except the
youngest son, Dr. N. F. Murray, of
Americas. Mr.. and Mrs. Murray hive
twenty-four grandchildren and five
great grandchildren and still both re
tain much of the yigor of life and
the intelligence Of youth.
The bride" wore a handsome black
silk and white lace collhr. A chair,
decorated with golden flowers and
ferns and tied with golden ribbons,
was placed in her room as a seat of
honor.
An initiative golden chain of fifty
links was stretched from one side of
the room and the large golden figures,
1860-1910, were placed at either end
Eight extra links were caught in the
chain at respective distances to rep
resent the years of each childis birth.
Just before noon the guests all as
sembled around the host and hostess.
Mr.. billiard, ibrother-in-law of Mr..
Murray, gave short reminiscent talk
of the couples welded life. How
Firm a Foundation" was impressively
sung, while tears stood in the eyes
of many.
A sumptuous dinner was served.
The color scheme prevailed at the
table A golden wedding bell was
suspended in the center above the cut
glass, silver and flowers that cleaned
on the snow white danask
The golden present were numerous,
some exquisite, others only souvenirs,
which accorded with the taste and d.
sires of the receivers. For they are
unassuming people with noble char
acteristics far beyond the value of
silver and gold.
A beautiful plain gold ring was pre-
scented by the husband to his wife, the
first he ever gave her. Among the
other presents was a gold watch en-
graved within: From Sons to Father
186O-1910" A golden clock from a
neighbor bore Mr.. and Mrs. Murray s
address.
Mrs. Murray's parents celebrated
their golden wedding in 1888. They
We're William j. and Alethea Parker
of Terrell County, Ga.
AT sunset photographer from
Americas came and snapped the group
of four generations and the honored
couple also, and thus the sad-glad day
was recorded with the past, but it will
stand forever as a white milestone in
the memory of all that were present.

Lake Bemidji is still unsafe for
teams.
After making six trips with tam
arac wood from Diamond point o
the north end of the lake and re-
turning in safety, Frank F'reeman's
heavily loaded team broke the ice
yesterday while returning for the
seventh load.
The horses were saved from drown
ing only through their quick response
to Mr.. Freeman's voice.
Large cracks have shown up all
over the lake since Saturday night
and it was while crossing one of the
assures that a cake of ice thirteen
by thirty feet broke off with the
weight of the team, and sank.
Mr.. Freeman with the aid of the
two men with him cut some spruce
trees and stood them up around the
place as warning to others to
avoid the dangerous place.

SAYS FROST HELPS CEMENT
City Engineer Explains Experiments
to the City Council. .

City Engineer Spencer, who has
been looking after the building of
the septic tank in the interest of the
city, made known the fact at last
evenings meeting of the council that
he had made three experiments, as
to the freezing of cement.
Mr.. Spencer said:
II was taught to- believe that after
Ia mould of cement had froze before
being absolutely dry that it was USE
less, but from recent observations 1
have found that if it, is kept from
freezing for from ten to twenty-four
hours, or until after it had made it's
initial setting, and then allowed to
freeze that the cement will hold to-
gether perfectly. Before I left the
city a few days ago, I mixed three
samples, using the same proportions
which are being used in building the
new septic tank. put one of the
samples out doors at once, leaving it
there for number of hours. I left
the other two inside for four hours,
then tok one of them out side.'
Upon inspecting the samples before
the aldermen Mr.. Spencer found that
the sample which he had left out
side at the first, was the better OF
the three. ss.-s... w.. ~

NEW COUNTY FACES CONTEST
Pennington May Be Made to Show
Legality Of Organization =

i Notice of contest of election on
the proposition to divide Red Lake
county,, establishing Pennington
county, has been served on the old
board of commissioners by Contest
ant Ed l.: Healy.
!. There are fifty-six counts in the
contestants notice, covering the fol-
lowing ground: That there was no
legal notice given prior to the cleo
ton that the proposition would be
voted upon; that there was illegal
voting in nineteen precincts, and
recount is asked in each of them;
that the assessed valuation of the
taxable property in both counties
would be too low to be- self-support-
ing, and that since the passage of the
law under which they are attempt
ing to create Pennington county, the
Legislature has passed various drain
age laws under which Red Lake
county has constructed bitches and
|sold drainage bonds to the extent of
)$201, 900, the greater part of said
bitches being in the proposed Pen
nington county; th at the law makes
mo provision for the collection of the
liens on the lands in Pennington
county should it be established; and
that there are now under cOnstruc-
ton within the territory of the pro-
posed Pennington county bitches,
the contracts for which amount to
|$1O8,793.33 and~$32,706.71 partial
|ly within the new county, and that
no means have been provided for
the payment of these contracts, and
that no bonds have been Or can be
issued, if Pennington county is es-
tablished, to meet the contracts.
The supreme court has never passed
upon the question Of dividing a
tcounty where there were outstand-
! ing ditch bonds. i.
Those making the complaint ad-
nit that they do not expect to secure
the dissolution of the new county,
but they hope to secure delay
which will permit the old regime to
}collect and disburse the $4,000 tax
levy of 1901. Pennington coun-
4 ty, which is now organized and
differed and doing county business,
claims it's proportionate share OF
these taxes This dispute about the
Icurrent taxes is the crux of the whole
trouble and the courts will have to
|settle it. In the meantime, the con.
test is instituted to create a con
venient delay.
