Kansas in regard to their opinions on
the right of probate Judge pro TEN
TO marry a couple. The law seems
10 be vague and there is a great diff
ference of opinion among the judges.
1t : considered important for the
reason that probate judges are said
to be marrying more couples than the
preachers nowadays. In many in
stances theotfices are held by tempo
rary judges
So out Of respect to the good folks
who continue to get married in Kan
Sas, the probate judges will attempt to
settle the question at their coming
convention in Topeka next month. If
they cannot agree here they will
probably look around for come couple
willing TO get married by a probate
Judge pro tenn, 50 the state can bring
suit TO test the matter.
! # the supreme court decided the
couple is not legally married they will
| have to remarry if they are in love.
| If they are not in love they may be
rewarded for their sacrifice and trou-
/ HE and other young folks in Kansas
/ will have their warning.

SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS
Go upin Smoke in Spite of the
Efforts of the Bucket Bril-
gade. No Other Fire Pro-
tection. Hard Fight
Saves Rest of Town

A very bad fire broke out in the
Oskeim hardware store at Florence a
small town south of here on the Min
neapolis and st. Louis railroad, last
"Wednesday morning and when dis
covered was beyond control. Some of
the stock was moved out but the loss
20 stock and building is figured at $4,-
900. This loss is covered by Sc, 200
insurance.
The flames from the hardwaSe store
reached Ford's butcher shop and moth
ing whatever was saved. This was
very severe loss as the family lived
upstairs over the shop and all of their
household goods were consumed. Mr..
Ford's loss is estimated at from 81 500
to 1900 without any insurance.
There were three other small build
ings consumed before the flames were
subdued. The fire is supposed to have
been of incendiary origin and the peo-
pie of florence have sworn vengeance
and very hasty vengeance if the per-
petrater is caught.

AN ACCIDENT TO DIR. c. f..
BROOKS AUTOMOBILE
A FRONT WHEEL BROKE OFF
While Enroute From Webster
To Aberdeen Last Saturday
Afternoon Wheel Broke
on Road Between Bris-
toll and Andoyer

Last Saturday afternoon about four
o'clock DR.. c. Z, Brooks and wife and
w. +. Smith and wife started for
Aberdeen in the DOCTORS big REQ auto
mobile with Miss Mabel Brooks acting
as Chauffeur. They were going up to
remain over Sunday with Mr.. and Mrs.
Smiths daughters, Mrs. T. N. Beuchler
and Miss Mabel Smith, who make
their home in the Hub City.
The run to Bristol was made in fine
shape and the members of the party
was congratulating themselves on
what quick and pleasant trip they
were to enjoy. After leaving Bristol
everything went along the same way
until after the railroad was crossed on
their way to Andover. Miss Mabel
then began to notice that the machine
did not respond as readily as it should
to the stearing wheel and the farther
she drove the more fully she became
convinced that something was the mat
ter and finally stopped the machine to
investigate. Were they lucky? Well,
we should say they were for just as
the machine stopped one of the front
wheels dropped Off An examination
showed it was broken 1--WE heard the
technical name for the part broken but
do not remember it, Mr.. Smith at
once walked to the nearest farm house
where there was a telephone and
called up John Sherbino who went out
and took the party to Andover and
from there the ladies came home on
the evening passenger. The men
returned to the car and tried to devise
some means of bringing the cripple in
but could not so came back TO Webster
with Mr.. Sherbino.
Saturday evening DR.. Brooks and
Sherbino took Thos. Candy and he
brought in the broken part and made
the necessary repairs and the car was
run into Webster Sunday.
We cannot help but congratulate the
party upon the lucky escape they had
from what surely would have been a
terrible accident had they been going
at the high rate of speed which South
Dakota roads sometimes permit for
automobiles.
