PASSED AWAY.

At nine O'Clock last Monday morn
ing, Mrs. Hannah Floren, wife of A..
E. Floren. passed away at the family
home, northwest of this city, after on
ly q very brief illness, aged forty-six
years.
The deceased lady had been house.
keeper in the Floren home for over a
year prior to last November, at which
time she went to her home in Cokato,
Mimi, and had won the love and esteem
of both Mr.. Floren and his children,
who were left without wife and moth
er a number of years ago. On March
9th of this year deceased was married
at Yankton to A. E. Floren, and they
had just arrived at their home near
Wagner when she was stricken with
her last illness. She was a true
Christian lady and held in the hi CHEST
esteem by all who knew her.
The remains were shipped to her
former home on Wednesday morning,
accompanied by Mr.. Floren and son
Carl.
1t is always with a feeling of sad
ness We chronicle the death of a de-
parted friend, but never have We felt
deeper sympathy fo- the bereaved
ones thar. come to us in this instance,
and we only voice the sentiment of the
entire community when we extend u
deepest sympathy to Mr.. Floren and
his motherless children. Our hope is
that the very dark cloud which now
hangs over this sad family may soon
vanish and the sun shine for them
brighter than ever.

A WAGNER SOCIETY BELLE
ELOpES.

The readers of the New Era-Leader
will recall that an elopement occurred
not many moons ago, in which one of
Wagner's society bellies played a pro-
minent part. There was no mention
of it in the paper at the time, because
of the prominence of the participants,
but now we feel that the sequel of this
love affair will prove of interest to the
public.
The dashing young couple left the
home Of the young lady, ~ostensibly to
visit a young lady friend, the hour be-
ing about 7:30 p. m, but instead of
visiting the young lady friend they
strolled down Main street until they
came to Pinard & knights drug store.
They had made arrangements to
have an auto meet them in front of
the drug store, so after a few minutes
of ervou waiting the auto showed up
and the happy young couple dashed
across country at break neck speed and
caught the evening flyer at Tyndall.
On arrival at Sioux City the next
morning they Immediately drove to a
well-known minister's residence and
were there united in marriage.
While they were both happy they
we're not sure of the approval of the
folks at home. They remained in
Sioux City a few days, when the bride
began to want to know how her
parents felt about TIE match. She
had been caught in tears two or three
times and failing to give an explaua-
ton, the groom became desperate and
insisted that ''dearie" made him her
confident and let him at least, SYM
pahize with her. Finally she confess
ed that the fear of her parents wrath
had caused her a great DEAL of worry,
then it was instantly decided to COM
municate with the old folks at home
by wire. The reply came in an hour
as follows:
Come home at once. All forgiv-
en- We have made arrangements
to have your wedding dinner served at
the MAJESTIC CAFE, the place
where the best service is found, on
Sunday, March 10Th. The Celebrated
DeLuca-LaGre Harp Orchestra of
Yankton will render the Wedding
March, and all will be serene and
happy.

Nimrod, an Indian police of Green
wood has been in considerable troubl e
of late. 1t seems that he left his
first wife and went out in the Rosebud
country and married another woman.
Later this woman died, and he return
ed to this reservation again marrying,
this time one of Ben McBride's Sis
tiers, Mrs. Victoria Hedges. When il
became known to Ben Mcbride that
Nimrod had not secured = separation
from his first wife he commenced pro-
'ceedings to get things Strengthened
out. From this distance it looks as
though the after wo Id end satisfac-
torily, as Nimrod is trying to get the
separation from his first wife, after
which he will make satisfactory ar
engagements with the lady he last mar
ried.
