Iowa City. Dec. 1.-Two unknown
masked highwaymen held up the Mer-

and commanded him to git up; shut
up; throw up your hands; and don't

Then they forced him over to the
counter, on which sat the register with
the nights proceeds in 1t, and one Of
the men "frisked" the till, while the
other kept Carroll covered.

ROMANTIC WEDDING.

On Saturday evening, May 3lst, Mr..
George Woodford and Miss Wanna
Axes, both of Custer, s. d., were united
in marriage by Rev. VIM. C. Cleworth.
The marriage took place in Sioux coun-
ty, near Fort Robinson, and was wit
messed by the sister and niece of the
bride. After the ceremony the happy
couple and wedding party returned to
Crawford and were pleasantly enter
tanned by the brides sister, Mrs. Bush.
Mr.. and Mrs. Woodford remained in
Crawford over Sunday, departing for
their future home at Custer on Monday
morning.
The contracting parties obtained IL
cense to wed in Sioux county and en-
gagged Rev. Cleworth of the Methodist
church of this city to perform the cere-
mony, supposing that the ceremony
could be performed in this county. Rev.
Cleworth politely informed them that
the ceremony should take place in Sioux
county, and the gallant groom engaged
an auto and made all haste possible for
Sioux county, but the auto, after spin
ming at rapid rate a short time, re-
fused to obey the driver and while yet
in Dawes county the wedding party were
stalled. Suspicion was aroused at auto
headquarters in this city that there was
something wrong, as the driver of the
wedding party car was due to report,
and consequently another car was start
ed from here and in due time found the
stranded party on the prairie. The
change from one car to the other was
soon made and quick run to cross the
dividing line was made. When it was
certain that the party had arrived in
Sioux county the ceremony took place,
all parties concerned being in the besl
of fhumor.-Crawford Tribune, June 6.

A PROCLAMATION.
Governor Byrne Designates and Proclaims
Tuesday, June 18th; as Good
Roads Day.

Good roads-easy and reliable means
Of travel and ransportation-are i'm.
portant, If not essential, to q really ad.
vanced civilization. South Dakota is
vitality interested in roads that are econ.
omically efficient for transportation oi
produce and supplies, and safe and de-
pendabls for travel. 1t is of the utmost
importance to the farmers of the State
that the roads, over which they haul
their produce to, and supplies from,
market, be such that 1t can be done al
the least possible expense. It is i'm.
portant to the dweller in village, town
or city that the roads be such as to at
tract and encourage travel and promote
trade. 10 is important to all of US that the
highways Of the State be safe, easy and
dependable to travel on; that they be
planned scientifically and constructed
permanently 30 that the cost of re.
building may be avoided and the ex.
pense of repair and upkeep reduced to
the minimum.
To foster and encourage the growing
interest in permanent, good, efficient,
and economical roads throughout the
State, I do hereby designate and pro-
claim Tuesday, the 18th day Of June, A.
u. 1918, as
GOOD ROADS DAY
and request and recommend that the
people of the State observe the day by
such cooperative. team work, in the in
terest Of road improvement, as may be
practicable in the different communi-
ties; by actual work in community road
building, repair and improvement by
public meetings, with lectures, discus
sion and neighborhood interchange OF
opinion, and such other appropriate Oh.
servances as may serve to promote the
increasing activity in behalf of perma.
nent good roads.
This is issued in the Lope that it may,
in some degree, stimulate in the "Good
Roads" propaganda and thus result in
permanent advantage to all the people
of the State.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused to be affixed
