Cone, both Of this city, were unit
ed in marriage in Hutchinson last
Sunday afternoon, returning to their
home here the same evening.
Mr.. Miller has been visiting in
Kansas City and other points for the
past month, and the arrangements
had been that Mrs. Cone would meet
him in Hutchinson on his return, be
quietly married, and spring a sur
prise on their friends on their re-
turn here.
But that second or third sense of
women which warns them Of an ap-
preaching marriage among any of
their friends, caused some Of the in
innate acquaintances of the couple
to suspicion that such an event was
going to take place, and large num-
Der of friends met the newgweds on
the arrival of No. Sunday evening
and gave them a profuse shower Of
rice and other articles suitable to
an occasion of this kind, after which
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller were taken to
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. E. Nc
Mullen where a wedding supper was
given in their honor.
Mr.. Miller has been resident ci
Great Bend for the past two or more
years, during which time he has beer
employed as driver and collector fol-
the Riverside Steam Laundry. He is
young man who is steady and in
dustricus and is very highly regard
ed by all who know him. Mrs. Mil
Ter has been a resident Of this city
for many years and is one Of tht
most popular and highly respected
ladies' Of the community, and this
rosts of friends Of the couple tendel

Of good wishes for a long and happ!
welded life.

Mr. and Mrs. ]. L. Cox arrived al

a months vacation spent in sighd
seeing in the south and east. MT
Cox was a delegate to the National
convention Of Elks at Rochester N.
T., and the trip was planed to al

and the Tomb of Washington. The
Old Washington home is still retain.
ed intact; all furniture, books, pic
turse, rugs, dishes, ect., being there
Just as last used by the family, all
OF which adds greatly TO the inter

The next stage of their journey
was by water via Norfolk, Va, to
that celebrated eastern village, New
York City, thence to Rochester, at
which place the main event of the
trip occurred, namely the big B. P.

THE PoP.PoPs WERE HERE

Nearly one hundred motorcyclists
including riders from eleven states,
started on Monday morning from
Hutchinson for a tour to Denver and
the Rocky mountains. They were
scheduled to arrive here ON or about
noon, but owing to some delay the
advance guard reached this place at
one O'Clock. The proceeded at once
to the dining rooms of the Congrega-
tional church where a splendid din
ner was awaiting them and it is I'm.
necessary to state they were all in
proper physical condition to appreci-
ate a good meal Just at this time.
The particular object in making the
stop here was to rest and feed their
faces, both of which were attained
without much delay. They left soon
after two O'Clock for Larned where
they were to spend the afternoon and
night.
The management was somewhat
disappointed regarding the number
of those making the trip but what
they lacked in numbers they certain
y made up in enthusiasm. They
we're real bunch of live ones, out
for good time and in spite Of the
hot weather they were having it. One
rider, H. A. Stewart, had trouble
with the control of his machine en-
route and the pesky thing tried to
climb fence with him, as a result
Of which he was riding in an auto
and carrying his head in a sling, but
still retained his enthusiasm and ex-
pected to be back on his wheel with
in a day or two. .... .... ......
All of the we'll known mounts were
noticeable in the equipment, but the
two which attracted marked atten-
tiOn here were the Henderson tan
dem, four cylinder high power ma
chine, and the Emblem, ridden by
lady and gentleman, having two
seats, resembling auto seats, side by
side. Only two ladies, Miss Inez Pat
terson of Pratt, Kans., and Miss Ra-
chel Krebbs, of Hayiland, rode their
own machines. There were, however,
several ladies' in the party, some in
cars and some riding tandem with
gentlemen escorts.
Joe Esler, special magazine cor
respondent, was with the party, and
possessing exceptional qualifications
as a mixer, was doing much to add
"pepp" to the occasion.
The affair seemed to be we'll con-
Quoted and barring the unpleasantnes
incident to the unusual industry of
Old Sol, nothing occurred to mar the
enjoyment of the occasion.

Didn't Care To Work.

NJ. L. Crow had a little experience
with a balky horse on Tuesday morn
ing Of this week that was more eG.
citing than pleasant, but which fur
nished entertainment Of a novel ma
ture for a crowd of onlookers. Mr,
Crow does not care to give another
rendition of the program, however
but If such was the case it would
be necessary to secure another ami.
nal for the equine part Of the pro
gram, for the one that put on the
show Tuesday evidently was of the
opinion that death was preferable to
work, and proceeded to commit sui.
eide.
The horse was one which NJ. L.
had rented from Dave Unruh to use
on his paint wagon for a short. time.
He had hitched it up the day be-
fore and had had considerable troub-
le in getting it to start when stand
ing still or to stop when once in mo
tiOn. Tuesday morning Mr.. Horse
evidently had made up his mind to
be martyr if necessary rather than
submit to the indignity of preceding
"a wagon loaded with paint and lad
ders around town, and when Mr. Grow
attempted to start him he proceeded
to put on an exhibition of back sum-
ersaults that would have made an in
teresting addition to the Ringing
Bros. circus, finally breaking up the
harness so that it was necessary to
unhitch him, but evidently the notice
he had attracted had flattered him
so that he wished to continue the en-
tertainment, for even after being re-
leased from the wagon he continued
his backward evolutions until he fl
nally he strnck the running board of
Will Hayes auto with the back of
his head, causing a conclusion from
which he died shortly after.
1t was reported by some one on the
street that the animal had been so
severely whipped by Mr.. Crow that
in a frenzy of fright it had fallen
backwards and killed itself, but we
have been informed by parties who
saw the occurrence that this state
ment is not true, and that Mr.. Crow
exhibited great patience in trying to
convince the balky brute of the error
of its ways. We understand that
he has made Mr.. Unruh an offer of
$50 in settlement for the loss Of the
animal, but it is said that Mr. I'm
rub places the value at $40 and has
refused to make settlement for less,
ad the courts will probably have an
opportunity of deciding the worth of
the animal and whether or not Mr..
Crow was to blame for its death.

Death. Of Bertha Johnson

As a shock to the entire commun-
ity came the report ON Sunday that
Bertha Johnson was dangerously i'll,
This was followed on Tuesday morn
ing by the still more distressing news
that the fair spirit had passed to
worlds unknown.
It had been known that Bertha had
been i'll for some time, but her i'll
ness was generally supposed to be
Of a minor nature. She suffered from
tOnsilitis Of a particularly virulent
type which developed into blood pois-
oning and though all aid possible was
given, it was impossible to check the
Ravages of the disease.
She was the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. ]. S. Johnson, and leaves to
mourn her death her parents, three
sisters, Mrs. Albert Fankhauser, Mrs.
Fred Kopke and Mrs. Oscar Frazier,
and three brothers, Charles Johnson,
of Hoisington, Don, of this city, and
Roy, of Lacrosse, besides a large
number of other relatives many of
whom reside here.
With the passing of this fair young
life from our midst Great Bend loses
one of its fairest young ladies, one
who has been a universal favOrite
with all who were fortunate enough
to know her. She was of a bright
cheerful disposition and looked at all
things from an optimistic standpoint,
apparently being blessed with tenn
perament which enabled her to see
and realize only the good things in
Nfe.
She was a member of the Meth
odist church, from which place fun
eral services were held Wednesday
afternoon at 2:SO, the body being laid
to rest in Woodlawn cemetery.
Death in amy form is sad, but par
ticularly distressing to an commun-
iy is the passing Of the life of a fair
young lady who has just arrived at
womanhood, and has before her,
should she live her allotted span Of
life, many years of pleasure and use
fulness. This fact is particularly true
with the death of this young girl
whose presence will be so sadly miss
ed mot only in her own home but in
many homes of the city and the mem.
ory of whose life will be cherished
tondly in the hearts of h host of
friends and aequaintances.
