COURT HOUSE CREW
SAW Is MARRIAGES
JUDGE STENGER TIED BIG
BUNCH OF KNOTS
Past Year was Popular with
Brides in Stevens County when
Eighty-six Certificates Were
Issued and Used

Marriages in Stevens county during
1914 shattered all records when
eighty-six marriage certificates were
issued. Fifteen of the eighty six cou-
Piles chose to be married at the court
house and that broke another record.
UntiITuesday no marriage licenses had
been ISSUED and it looks as if 1915
is doomed to a disappointing e. treme.
Assistant Clerk of Court Peterson
thinks something must be done in the
way of booming TIE marriage mar.
ket.
June. which has long had the re-
putation of being the month of roses
and marriages, took back seat last
year in Stevens county. 1t surrend-
cred to October with it's scar and
melancholy days, and John and
Mary, or whatever their names were,
began the housekeeping by hustling
the coal hod and setting up stoves.
March and May were close favorites
and June took big share. The
great majority of the contracting
parties were residents of the county
but quite a few claimed residences
elsewhere. Most of the couples were
under thirty years of age.
Out of the fifteen couples who
were married at the court house Judge
Stenger officiated at eleven. Rev.
Nobbs had three. and Judge Beise one.
All the rest had more or less imposing
services elsewhere. Rev. Stevel
found six of the love-stricken pairs
at his doors and accommodated them
at tbs parsonage. Rev. Stever has
been located in Morris about siz
months and is rapidly becoming popu-
lar with brides. So far as known hap.
piness came with every marriage
license issued by the Clerk Of Court
for no divorce actions followed the

Gave Herman a Licking
Morris Independents Hang on
More Basket Ball Trimmings
at Armory Last Friday

The Morris Independents pulled
down another victory at the armory
last Friday evening when they de-
feated the fast Herman quintet with
a score of Al to 13. Tre game
was more exciting than the score in
dicates and should have been better
patronized. A friend of the basket
ball boys contributes the following
stury about the game:
The team work of the locals was
above standard and is due no doubt to
the urgent efforts of Capt. Sherwin
who imposes midnight practice on his
men every evening during the week.
The first half ended with tte count
224 in the locals favor. The second
half noticed change in the lineup of
the Independents. Ormon and Slaw-
son alternating in the place of STEM
ger. Slawson showed considerably
well scoring two field goals within
ten minutes. Last bnt not least we
must comment on the work of "Rup"
Sirr and Capt. Shervin. Their guard
ing was superb and no time did the
Herman forwards have the edge on
their opponents. Torrey at center
and Berg at forward again proved
their playing ability registering %
points of the. locals total The
former scoring eight field goals and
Berg following with five to hi credit.
The work Of the locals deserves
recognition but the crowd at thia game
was keen disappointment for the
team incurred a heavy loss. The
next game will be against the Benson
city team and here is hoping to see
all present and help towards the
support of "good cause - Nor
ris needs advertisement and we are
here to help along. Don't fail to
attend the next game. A good
game assured.
