Of this place, is once again a "widder-
man" after a rather exciting matri-
monal experience which has provided
much amusement to all the towns

Advertising for a wife in The Freed
man, Lem had responses galore, one
of which sounded especially attractive.
Her am was Emily Grant, a resi-
dent of Butte, Mont.
Arrangements were perfected and
the wedding took place. Lem at once
installed a new washing machine at
his home and the new Mrs. Lem soon
had a thriving business. She washed
well and Lem himself collected the
clothes and the money. ~
But Emily had ideas beyond AM
brose, for no sooner did they begin
accommodating money than did, she
want to leave for Canada. Lem how
ever was of a different opinion which
soon, led to- the. parting Of the ways.
Emily finally sold her share of the
household goods, took part of the
and has left for parts unknown. Once
money and babe her honey goodbye
again Lem is a widower and is gener-
ally lamenting the fact of his late
wife's departure. but assuring every
one that he was loyal to Ambrose and
North Dakota by sticking to the town
and state where he made his money.

weeks strenuous efforts have been
made to provide the citizens of West

LIGHTNING KILLS
Dozen CATTLE

Steele, N. D., July 30.-one of the
most destructive results of a thunder
storm in this county caused a severe
loss to j.. w. Murphy of Manning a
week ago Wednesday morning, early,
when twelve head of cattle, nearly all
full grown, n several large fat cows
were killed on his farm at one stroke.
The animals were. standing near the
pasture fence close together, and were
there found in the morning. They were
not against the fence so Mr.. Murphy
thinks it was not the wire which threw
the shock into them. i /
The loss is around $700, as Mr.. Muir
ply has a fine grade of cattle. at all
times.
A fine colt was killed by lightning
for H. E. Boehrson, northeast OF, Steele,
last week, and there are reports of one
or two other losses of stock farther
east this month. II
