FORMER AUDUBON
BOY Is MARRIED
Son Of Former Banker Elopes With
Sweetheart, Who is Prominent
Omaha Society Lady

News reached Audubon Monday of
the marriage of William Leet, son
of Mrs. r. M. Leet, now resident
of Omaha. He was born and raised
here, the Leet family residing in the
beautiful home now owned by NJ T.
Foley. The family left here about a
year after the death of Mr.. Leet,
which occurred in 1906.
The following account of the we'd
ding, which appeared in Tuesdays
edition of the Omaha Bee, will be of
interest to his many Audubon friends !:
civilian Leet, son of Mrs. F. NJ
Leet, 1903 California street, and
Miss Anne Robertson, daughter OF
Mrs. e. L. Robertson, 122 North
Fortieth street, eloped to Blair yes
terday and were married there at IL
O'Clock by Rev. Mr.. Kohjer of the
Congregational church. Young Leet
is only Is years of age. according to
statement from his mother, while
his wife is "a.
Sunday young Leet informed his
mother that he was to leave that eve
ming for Sioux City in the company
of Mr.. Edgar Moore on business.
Mrs. Leet consented, but yesterday
learned that Mr.. Moore had not gone
to Sioux City. A rumor to the effect
that the couple had eloped to Sioux
City was current Sunday, but was
denied by Mrs. Robertson.
Mrs. Leet did not know of the
elopement until informed of its hap
pening at Blair.
Leet and his bride were accom-
panied by an Omaha lawyer, whose
name, IL is said, is Benjamin. Accord
ing to advices from Blair the county
Judge there made Benjamin swear to
statement before the license was
issued.
Mr. Leet and his bride have been
very close friends for some time, and
their ultimate marriage has been con-
sidered probable by friends and as
sociates.

to weep on last Sunday evening at

all who knew them. To this union

Grandma Reynolds, when quite
young in years was converted to God
in Indiana, and in 1878 she united
with the Methodist Episcopal church
at the Pool school house on the Wich-
ita charge and remained faithful
and devoted Christian believer until
her browning. She was a devoted
companion, one of the very best of
mothers, a kind and useful neighbor
to all. She has fought the good fight,
finished her course and kept the faith
henceforth there is laid up for her
a crown which the Lord the right
eous Judge shall give her at that day
and all those who love His appear
ing. 1886 she was bereft of her hus-
band with whom she journeyed down
life's years for 81 years. Her child
rem rise up and call her blessed.
About three weeks ago Grandma Rey-
holds took TO her bed and rapidly
grew weaker until her race was end
ed. Her influence for good in this
community is immortal. Two sons

mother In Israel. We will see her
again in eternal life

county farm disposed of all the in
mates of that institution last week
when he sent Chas. H. Frost to Rap

being, in fact. residents of Shelby
county and consequently should be
kept at the expense of that county.
This leaves the county farm without
any inmates. People of Audubon
county seem to be so prosperous and
happy that they are abundantly
able to care for themselves and thus
the farm is left to the steward who
makes it paying proposition for
the county each year. Mr.. Bolton

that the board of supervisors hired
him for another year at their jan

Twenty-seven years ago Tuesday
occurred Iowa's big blizzard, Jan.

Mr. Brown is certain that the Baptist cergymen

What really hurts Mr. Brown is the fact that the
church has not been stopping with mere resolutions
in late years, but it has been putting the resolutions
into action, which has contributed largely to bringing
about just what Mr. Brown advocates; namely, leg
isation. If is legislation the liquor interests want
they getting it.
Bills designed to abolish or suppress the liquor

paid their respects to the saloon in their messages to
their legislatures Governor Hays of Arkansas
Alexander, of Idaho Brumbaugh, of Pennsylvania
Lieutenant Governor Dickinson, of Michigan all
have declared in favor of liquor legislation.
Prohibition bills are before the legislatures of

prospects for the of Prohibition are good in
Montana, Wyoming, Iowa and South Carolina. The
