His Story of the Accident.

Winside, Neb., Sept. 3O.-Editor
News: | notice in your paper of Sept,
25 that J. S. Butterfield puts the
blame on the car he men in his acci-
dent. | am the fellow that drove the
other car. He also states that he was
running very slow.
| met Mr.. Butterfield on little
hill east of Osmond. He was com
ing down the hill at the rate of not
less than twenty-five miles an hour
the road was a little deep and
could see that it would be hard for
Mr.. Butterfield to turn out so | turned
out and gave him the full road. If
hadn't done so We would have had
collision, as Mr.. Butterfeld's car
only got the wheels out of the road
when it went over. 1t looked to me
as if Mr.. Butterfeld was a new driv-
er or else he used very poor judg-
ment in trying to turn out, at the
speed he was going. He can't blame
anyone but himself as he had the
whole road to himself. | have four
witnesses who saw it. So want
you to correct this as | don't want
the blame,
Walter A. Peterson.

The Huse.Harris Weddina.

Reno New Bulletin, Sept. 81: A
small but unusually beautiful wedding
was solemnized at the Harris home on
North Virginia street last evening,
when Miss Lucy Newbold Harris be-
came the bride of Mr. Eugene Frank
lin Huse, of Norfolk, Neb., in the
presence Of about forty immediate
friends and relatives.
The rooms of the Harris home were
artistically hung with garlands of
feathery asparagus ferns and hun
dreds of asters, while here and there
clusters of huckleberry foliage added
the brightness of their shining green
ness to the scene.
The spacious parlOr was chosen for
the ceremony room, one corner being
transferred into fairy bower above
which were suspended colonial bas-
ketS filled with ferns and white as
ters and tied with streamers of white
tule, in front of which were two small
white satin pillows upon which the
bridal couple knelt to take their
VOWS.
The fireplace and mantle was a
mass of greenery and flowers with
vases of the same flowers scattered
here and there about the room.
The same color scheme was carried
out in the dining room and made the
scene one of unusual beauty and sim
plicity. At the conclusion of the cere.
mony a wedding supper was served
at tete-tete tables.
The brides table was especially ar
tistic in the center of which was a
large colonial basket of white asters
and ferns tied with a true lovers
