Husband Comes to Meet Wife

Peter Stadiotto, husband of
the woman who tossed her little
baby out of the car window on
Tuesday, arrived here this NOR
ming from Elk River, Ida, and
will leave this evening, accom-.
panied by his wife and two chill
dren, for Elk River, their home.
Mrs. Stadiotto, since the ar
rival of her husband, has entire
ly recovered from her dementia,
and it is expected that she will
be alright now. She was great
ly surprised when her husband
appeared at the hospital to visit
her. She was sure that he had
been killed and could hardly be-
lieve that he was alive.
Since his arrival she appears
to be in good mental condition
and remembers all about throw
ing the baby from the window.
She claimed that the conductor
on the train and the porter we're
going to kill her children and eat
them, and she threw the baby
out of the window to save it's life.
The baby seems to be uniniur-
ed, although it is probably some
what bruised. 1t has a few
scratches on its forehead, but
otherwise seems unharmed. The
couple and their children will
leave this evening on the Olym-
plan for their Idaho home, where
they will remain for the present.

STORE RoBBER CAUGHT

Along the latter part of March
the hardware store of Ed Savage
at Summit was broken into and
robbed of a large number of
knives, razors and revolvers.
Mr.. Savage did not report the
matter to the sheriff until a few
days ago, as he suspected GER
tain parties Of doing the deed
Suspicion pointed strongly to
John Barnett, young man of
THAT community, and Friday
Sheriff Minder was requested to
go to farm South of Peever
where Barnett was working and
search the premises. Minder
was informed by the young man S
employer that he had noticed
hlm having several knives and
razors. Minder was armed
with a search warrant and went
through the young mans room,
finding practically everything
taken from the store. Barnett
owned up to the deed, says he
was alone, and glad he is caught,
as the few days spent in Jail has
already taught him a lesson.
He has given bail to appear in
district court.

his legs were briar scratched.
His clothes We're blue, but nut
brown hue marked the place
where his pants were patched.
They bubbled with joy at the

nutbrown hue.
"Why didn't you patch with a
color to match?" they chuckled,
why not with blue.?"
Come, don't be coy, my blue.
brown boy, speak OUT" and
they laughed with glee;
And he blushed rose-red, while
he bashfully said; "That amt

Mr.. Burke has Earned a Rest.

Huronite: Elk Congress m a n
Burke passed through Sioux
Falls last week on his way home
at Pierre. Mr.. Burke's imme.
diate plans contemplate a fishing
expedition and beyond that he
has no scheme of action laid out.
Probably Mr.. Burke has want.
ed to go fishing for many years,
but being a public servant, be
could not take the time to sit
down beside the water and aban-
don himself to the luxurious
lazlness of bout with the tinny
game of the aqueous depths.
Being relieved of the public
burden, his first thought is a re-
creation, and after that desire is
stated he will begin to consider
the business of unofficial life.
Mr.. Burke has earned the rest
that just now looms largely along
the horison of his immediate fu-
ture. If he fishes as well as he
has served the public, he will
bring home a large string.

MARRIED AT w11MoT

y shy young couple got off the
north bound train Wednesday
morning accompanied by rev.
erend looking gentleman who
apparently had the pair in charge
fearing they might walk into an
open we'll or be run over and
tramped down by the traffic on
main street. for love is blind
they say. BY the aid of the
minister, who later proved to be
Rev. A. l.. Wold of Minneapolis,
the couple found their way to
the Merchants Hotel, where the
minister secured permission to
unite them in the holy bonds of
matrimony. The hotel parlor
was offered for the occasion and
the happy event was solemnized
with nothing to mar it but the
litter of the hotel girls who were
witnessing the performance
through the mirror of the buffet,
unseen by the contracting par
ties. To make the nuptial tie
legal in every respect Dan Eyre
was pressed into service to per-
form the duties of best man and
Mrs. FL. Il. Gregg consented to
act as the other witness. The
reverend gentleman returned to

rem of Sisseton, boarded the

Big High School Events!

Surely Sisseton's victory over
the Huron High School last Friday
night was no minor event. The
past record of the Huron High is
we'll known; and the fact that Sis.
seton has put out debating team
that can defeat what is without
doubt one of the strongest in the
state is something of which we
may we'll be proud.
Laura Stavig, Alfred Strand.
and Lloyd Peterson represented
Sisseton High in the best debate
that has yet been held; and they
have set standard this year which
surely should be an incentive for a
winning debating team in the wears
to come.
Laura Stavig, despite her hav-
had serious nervous breakdown
the night before, stood her ground
with firmness that told surely and
finally i'll the decision; Alfred
Strand was there with the calm
but unflinching manner which has
told i'll debate before; and Lloyd
Peterson wound up tue debate for
Sisseton adding much to the argu-
ment for the Monroe Doctrine,
which literally raised mountains
before the visiting team.
On May IA the Sisseton team
will debate at Sioux Falls for the
state championship. Enthusiasm
runs high; and spontaneous ex-
presslons and demonstrations are
not at all rare! Nine ralls for the
