Injured in Runaway

Sam GiIIeJts, Il horse dealer
from ST. Paul, who has been
conducting IA sale Of | orses at
the Cramer warehouse in this
city during the past We elk, was
quite badly injured in a runa-
Way accident last Sunday after
noon.
Glletts was just completing
the sale of a horse to Charles
Simoneau, but before turning
over his money Mr.. Simoneau
wanted to see how the horses
would go with colt owned by
him. After the two horses had
been hitched together there was
trouble. After exchanging a
few unpleasant neighs, which
gave Gilletts and Simoneau time
enough to get into the wagon,
the horses started off on a gallop
down the road. Mr.. SimOneau
jumped from the wagon but
Gilletts was determined to stick
by the wagon. The more the
driver tried to retard their
speed and the more he pulled on
the reins the faster the hOrsee
went.
The horses did not stop until
they upset the wagon upon
Gilletts. Gilletts was taken from
under the wagon and it was
found that he was quite badly
injured. He was taken to the
hospital at Ashland where he is
now receiving treatment.

The matrimonial path for
divorced people in this state in
the future will be a thorny one
as a result of the new law
governing the issuance OF
marriage licenses in the state,
County Clerk Oscar has received
a copy of the law.
Under this new law DEGREES of
divorce issued in this and in
other states are given greater
weight and the mandates
of the courts againt marriage of
fair divorces must be respected
under penalty of law. 1t will
no longer be necessary to sum-
mon for contempt of court men
and women who violate the pro.
visions of divorce DEGREES and
seek to remarry within a year
after the divorce is granted as
under the Wisconsin law today
all such marriages are null and
void and the people who seek to
contract them are subject to ar
rest and punishment.
The new law provides it shall
be unlawful for any person or
persons residing in Wisconsin
or intending to reside in Wiscon-
sin who may have barred from
marriage in this state by divorce
decree of any court to marry in
another state. The law provides
that such marriage is null and
void and that children born
uuder such a union will have no
property rights in the state of
Wisconsin. The law goes fur
ther. 1t provides that the
clerks of Wisconsin counties
may not issue a license for the
marriage of any couple coming
from another state if il is shown
that these people have been
barred from marriage within a
specific time by divorce DEGREES
handed down in the states in
which they reside.
1t is a long step toward
uniform marriage and divorce
laws. The county clerks have
been nstructed to provide at
once for the issuance of a new
form of marriage blank and this
application for the marriage IL
cense must show that the peo-
pie seeking the license have not
been barred from marriage by
divorce DEGREES IN any state of
the union. Before any license
may be issued the person apply
ing for the license must take an
oath that there is no bar to the
marriage in this or any other
state. False swearing to this
affidavit will leave the person
making the application open to
prosecution for perjury and the
crime of perjury is punishable
with prison sentence in Wis
consin.
The law against the marriage
of divorced persons lis regarded
as the most drastic to be adopt
ed by any of the states in the
Union.

Washburn, Wisconsin. Thursday July 29th, 1915
,archmentyscrollf n address given


him at a great farewell meeting
held in his honor. He landed in
Chicago. Supt. James Tomkins
of the Illinois Home Missionary
society sent him to Byron to
supply for a Sunday. That
church gave him such cordial
and urgent call that he could not
refuse. Then followed three or
four years of great spiritual and
material growth for that church.
At that time a great opportunity
arose for denominational work
in southern Illinois. Knowing
John Gibson's special ability as
a builder up of men and of
churches, DR.. Tomkins asked
him to go to that part Of the
state to lead in the work.
The Byron church made a pa
thetic protest to the Illinois Home
Missionary society against their
taking their pastor from them,
but their plea was in vain. The
needier fields called the louder.
He went to southern Illinois, and
in five years organized several
fields, erected several churches,
and then, his work there being
done, he obeyed the call to go to
South Kaukauna.
After leading in the erection
of a large house of worship, and
bringing that church to self sup
port, he heard Superintendent
Grassie's call to go still further
north. He became the great
pioneer pastor in northern Wis
consin, serving several years at
Washburn, Iron River, Odanah,
Birnamwood and now at Solon
Springs and Minong.
Every time he has moved it
has been at the call of the mis-
sionary officials to go to some
special work. In every case the
protest of the Byron church
might have been used in urging
him to remain. In so years he
has had no vacancy between
pastorates, although he did lose
one Sunday in church in coming
to America. His leadership is
proving richly productive in
Solon Springs. Here burden
some debt has been provided for,
and one of our very weakest
churches has been greatly
strengthened.
Two automobile loads were
present at the celebration from
Iron River and one from Wash
burn, besides some who came
from there by train. Mlnong
was represented by a dozen or
more delegates. A delightful
feature was the special music
by the Washburn choir of which
two of Rev. Mr.. Gibson's child
rem are members. The Ladies'
Aid society of the Solon Springs
church served a fine picnic sup
per.
