A wedding which will be of interest
to many people in Topeka was that
of Miss Mary Welton of North Topeka
and Mr.. Roy Butterfield of North To-
peka. The ceremony was performed
at the home of the bride four miles
north of Topeka. The ring ceremony
was performed by the Rev. J. B.
Giltron, pastor of the Elmont Metho-
dist church. The house was decorated
with roses and clematis. The bride is
a graduate of the Topeka high school
and has been for the past few years
a teacher in the Shawnee county
schools. The bridegroom is the son OF
Mrs. NJ Rutterfield of Overlook and
until recently was also a teacher in
the public schools. He is at present
employed in the Santa Fe offices at
Topeka. After the ceremony refresh
ments were served by the brides sis
tiers. Only the relatives of the young
couple were present at the ceremony.
Barker's Friends Concerned.
A number of ex-Police Officer
Jacob Barker's friends in North To-
peka are deeply concerned as to his
dismissal from the police force. A
number of his personal friends al
though they do not know the nature
of the charges brought against him,
refuse to believe that he was connect
ed with anything crooked. 81 have
known Barker for a long time said
a North Topeka man this morning
land I have never known him to pull
off a crooked deal
His friends also give him the credit
of closing up most of the joints on
the North side. The Rev. Ward, pas
tor of the Second Baptist church in
North Topeka, made a statement
which was. published in the State
Journal a few days ago in which he
was very much adverse to his dism1s-
sal. Police Officer Rosander, who
was dismissed at the same time, was
also North Topeka patrolman. His
case is also causing much comment
