MATTERS OF INTEREST THAT HAPPEN
IN THE COURSE OF A WEEK

Miss Florence Mcconnell has been
making her home with her brot ;.r,
A. r. Mcconnell. for the past three
months, returned Thursday to her
lone at Cherokee. Iowa.
*. S. Christensen arrived Friday
evening on the Milwaukee's delayed
passenger from the north. He has
been in that section of the state for
the past two weeks, and for several
days was among the snowbound pass
engers.
Delvan T. Becker left Thursday
morning for Chicago to visit his par
ents for a couple of weeks. While
there he will make a few purchases
for the clothing store. During his alb
sence Harry Slade is in charge of the
clothing establishment.
Jack Knowlton, who was charged
with stealing a fur overcoat some
ten days ago, was brought before
Justice Markham Thursday. The
court found him guilty and sentenced
him to SO days in Jail or a fine of
500. The indications are that
Knowlton will stay in Jail the so
days.
Over in police court Saturday
Robert Norton was brought before
Justice Markham on the charge of
being drunk, which by the way is
not a new one in Norton's case. He
has been up so often before that the
court continued the case and gave
him special notice to hunt a new
town. Lawrence Hazelton was fined
SIS for vagrancy and was slowed away
in the Jail. Fred Moore a week ago
was found selling some clothing
which it is thought he did not come
honestly by, and his case was con-
tinued until some future time when
more can be ascertained about him.
Not satisfied with having done a
fairly good job the weather man turn
ed the cold throttle open a little Wild
+, er Friday night and sent the mercury
down a few degrees farther Saturday
morning the thermometer registered
at FL degrees below, and 1t spoiled
all kinds of reckoning that there was
a change due in the variety of wealth
er we were having. Not since 1903
has the weather been so cold so late
in February, and at that time when 1t
broke of at about this same date It
commenced to turn warm fast, and
with the exception of three dates in
March of that year the spring was an
ideal one. Is there any comfort which
can be drawn from the like condi-
tions of today?
A quiet but delightful wedding
took place Wednesday evening at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. L. Ellsworth
of Riverside, when the Rev. A. Craig
Bowdish of the Congregational

Nina, Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Wallis and
daughter, Lillian; also Mrs. R. 3.

sat down to a bountiful supper. The
bride and groom were the recipients

Mr.. Frank Kent and Miss Edith
Rice came down from Alpena on the
delayed Milwaukee passenger We'd
nesday afternoon, arriving at $3.50
o'clock. The groom made a hurried
trip to the court house and secured

rage took place at the Methodist par

The young people will visit in this
city and other parts of the state for

west of the Missouri river to take
up their home on a claim on which
