Miss Lucy Armstrong. the daughter Of Mr..

sure whether she left by the door or a win

Blazer. Tuesday morning at eleven O'Clock.
Friday evening the friends Of the newly
married couple dropped in at their home
and surprised them. About thirty couple
were present and all had good time. Con-
gratulations were in order and the young
couple was kept busy the better part OF the
evening receiving the well wishes OF their
friends. Mrs. Fisher was dressed in
beautiful hand-enbroidered dress OF white
and looked the part Of happy bride IN
every respect.
The single men regret thedoss OF one OF

reason that the normal settlement
being made in this district daily,
will soon dispose Of the nnoccupied
lands, and COLONY to be success
as such. should have reasonable
proportions and membership.
The Great Northern Railway Co. /,
through its officials, have publicly
announced the early construction
OF a railroad near the proposed
colony, and the officials of the 500
Line have made tentative exam
ination of the territory within the
past month. The rapid develope,
ment oil the district assures trans
portation facilities tor all, and
nothing further remains to be done
to make this one Of the richest
farming districts in the State OF
Montana, but to put it under culti-
vation.
The success of the Dane Valley
Colony, just north OF CulbertSon,
is well known throughout the State,
and the district from which the
settlers came. The colonists arc
proud OF their success in farming,
and can now point with pride te
visitors, modern farm buildings
fine herds oi dairy stock, well bred
hogs and chickens, good horses,
and fields OF waving grain, unex'
celied in any farming community
The Danish people are intelIi
gent, educated and refined, law
abiding citizens; and their thrift
aud industry materially advances
the welfare of the Districts in which
they reside. Culbertson appreci-
ates their marked success, and wei
comes the newcomers with hearty
approval.

throughout
Rev. Cookingham and Rev. Ha-

were no signs OF restlessness or
abating interest on the part OF those
assembled even unto the end.

lof Hanna's wives been married before
he married. them. two married since
he divorced them and several children
had resulted from their various unions.
But even with all this clear in ones
mind there are other complications
that have to be taken into considera.
ton in this veritable jungle of rela.
tionships.
The two husbands whom the two d.
vorced wiveS of Hanna married had
children by previous marriages. 80
the family rec and all it's branches
takes on the aspect Of a Chinese
pux7le.
F. 1t was in the summer of 1887 that
Dan Hanna. then a young man, mar
ried Miss May Harrington, the
daughter of a prominent Cleveland
family. Three sons were born to
them. Mark. named after his famous
grandfather. Carl and Dan. Jr. How
ever, the marriage did not urn out
happily. and in 1897 Mrs. Hanna oh
tanned a divorce from him.
Hanna's Second Plunge.
The following year he married Mrs.
Walter de 8. Maud. the divorced wife
of Captain Maud, an Englishman. Be
fore her marriage to Maud she was
Miss Daisy Gordon. the. daughter of

%wealthiest citizens and an Intimate
friend of Dan Hanna's first wife.
She had obtained q divorce from
Maud in Akron. Ohio, but after her
marriage to Dan Hanna Captain Maud
| obtained q divorce from her in Eng.
land OF the grounds that her second
marriage was %bigamous. They had
no children. but she and Dan Hanna
had a daughter. Elizabeth.
This second marriage OF IIanna's
was no more fortunate than the first.

for divorce In Cleveland and won the

tiers. Her three sons were In school.
but during the holidays they divided
their time between visiting her and
their father out in Cleveland.
Mrs. Dan Hanna No. 2 did not 70.
main single very long. She moved
to New York Immediately after her
divorce in 1906. She married Frank
lin D. Pelton. a New York business
man. She was awarded the custody
Of her daughter Elizabeth. whom she
brought east with her.
Additions to Mlxup.
Franklin D. Pelton had been d.
vorced from his wife, who was Miss
Lucy Carter, only a short time before
he married Mrs. Dan Hanna No. 2. He
was the father of a son by his first
marriage. or course he was Mrs. Dan
Hanna's third husband and she Is his
second wife.
After his third marriage Dan Hanna
moved from Cleveland to Ravenna,
Ohio, where he has since become the
father of two little girls, who. OF
course, are half-sisters to Mrs. Ed
mund K. Stallo's three sons and Mrs.
Franklin D. Pelton's daughter. Eliza
beth Shelly, the daughter of Mrs. Dan
Hanna No. 3, by her first husband. is
naturally Dan Hanna's s%tepdaughter
and half-sister to his two little girls,
but what relation is she to Mrs. Stall
los three sons or to Mrs. Pelton's
daughter?
A dozen other questions Of relation
ship present themselves. II a man
has children by three wives are the
children of his first wife half-sisters
and half-brothers "once ~removed?"
Not even De Wolf Hopper or Nat
Goodwin, who married four wives, has
had the experience Of living under the
same roof and dining in the same no
tel dining room with three wives al
the same time. But. such an expert
ence has come to Dan Hanna on more
than N occasion. Until the Stallos
separated they made their home at the
Waldorf-Astoria. as do MI. and Mrs

Carl Hanna. Mrs. Stallo's SECOND

and it is not unlikely that Dan Hanna
will become a grandfather before
long.
And then there will be another
problem in the relationships in thi'
much-married and mixed-up Hanna
family.
