CELEBRATE THIRTIETH
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

December End, 1915 is a date that
will always be looked upon by Mr..
and Mrs. w. J. Callow as a time when
they enjoyed themselves to an I'M
speakable degree. The day was the
10th anniversary of their married
life and for the occasion their child
rem had planned surprise on them.
A large company of neighbors ana
friends assembled at the home of
Lester Olsen, and, from there went
to the Callow home. Mr.. and Mrs.
Callow hadn't had the slightest ink
ling of the surprise, so when the
guests arrived at their home it can
easily be imagined how completely
unprepared they were to receive their
guests. But every little detail had
been planned and from the well fill
ed baskets came sumptuous spread
which together with the oyster sup
per proved sufficient to fill the inner
man.
The Callow home is located about
ten miles northeast of Audubon, ana
In the company of invaders were
quite number of town people.
QuiGe a number of presents were
presented to Mr.. and Mrs. Callow as
tokens of love and friendship. These
they will prize very highly and in
after years will frequently remind
them of the splendid occasion in
1915. The Republican wishes TO
join host of friends in offering con-
gratulations and hope Mr.. and Mrs
Callow will live many years to en-
Joy the associations of their friends
and the delightful companionship OF
each other.

TEMPLETON FARM
HAND IS ARRESTED

James Mcqueen, a farm hand 81
years old, is in the county Jail at
Council Bluffs awaiting action of the
district court on an information
charging adultery and Mrs. Elizabeth
Greteman, 81 years old, wife of a
prosperous farmer and merchant Of
Templeton, and mother of ten child
rem, who was arrested with Mcqueen
Tuesday night, is on her way home
to her children, after a reconcilia-
ton with her husband, effected thru
the efforts of the County Attorney,
who told. the husband that he is quite
as guilty, morally, as his wife or the
young man who befrfended her.
The testimony of all three parties
to the agar indicated to the county
attorneys Office that the woman had
been Obliged to work like a man in
all farm work for many years, and
last summer IL was said her physical
condition became such that she could
no longer perform the heavy labor,
so the husband unwillingly hired Nc
Queen.
The young man pitied the woman
and performed many little services
calculated to tighten her labor about
the home. The relatives of the hus-
band told him the friendship between
his wife and the young man was too
noticeable and after some difficulties
the hired man left. Later, the quar-
rel still continuing, the wife went to
Sioux City to visit with relatives and
there once saw the young man by
accident.
The story carries back to Carroll
and includes the advent of a lawyer,
and a divorce fling, with an infor-
nation charging the woman with in
sanity. She said that she herself
begged the young man to go away
with her, after sending a friend. with
whose family she was staying after
having been told by the husband not
to return, to ask the young man to
come to her. She said the only kind
ness that had been showed her In
years was hown by Mcqueen, who
did all he could to protect her of i'm
plication of guilt.
After long session in the county
attorneys Office the husband and wife
reconciled, and the attorney read the
husband strong lecture on his own
actions, cautioning him that II re-
Cancellation were effected II would
only be by completely obliterating
the past. The farmer promised to
be more kind to his wife and they
went away together.
Mcqueen is held in Jail In default
of bail of $1,000.

denly After Few Days Illness
With Pneumonia

leading BARRIERS died this morning
a little before eleven o'clock at his

that while there he contracted his
fatal illness. When he came Sunday
he was seriously ill. A physician
was called who discovered that he
had serious case of pneumonia,
both lungs being affected He held
out no hopes for his recovery from
the very first.
Mr.. Bailey was irrational most all
OF the time, and Ii was with difficulty
that attendants kept him in his
room. About a quarter of eleven
this morning he asked to get up,
which he did and while standing on
his feet he reeled backward and fell
into the arms of Lewis Shupe who
assisted him to his bed. He gave
one long gasp and life was extinct.
Audubon people will regret to
learn of this sad death for Mr.. Bailey

NARROWLY AVERTED

drove to the hitch rack where he
tied them. Later. he returned with

Lille Tate, of Casey and Carl Sun
berg. All of the young people piled
into the top buggy to start for home.
The team was united and started to
back up when one of the hind wheels
of the vehicle ran into a hole where
upon the team made a short turn.
This allowed all the weight to come
on one side of the buggy with the re-
suit that the buggy upset and all of
the occupants were thrown onto the
frozen ground. The team managed
to get lose and ran around the park
until they were caught in front of
Bakers grocery.

CENTER EDITOR DEAD

The newspaper fraternity of Iowa
lost one of its most valuable and dis
tinguished members in the death OF
A. III. Grisell, editor of the Guthrian
at Guthrie Center last Friday, Dec
Bird. He was regarded as one of the
ablest editors in the state of Iowa
and had a wide acquaintance as a
writer and politician. He was, also
for many years, secretary of the
Guthrie County Fair Association.
In the death of Mr.. Grisell the
writer feels personal loss. He was
friend in whom the utmost conf
dence could be placed. His sudden
taking away brings sorrow to all who
came within the scope Of his, personal
friendship. None but those who have
sat in the shadow of great bereave-
ment can justly weigh such a sorrow
as death brings. Those who have
gone down into the valley of suffer
ing and stood by the side of a loved
one, as hope after hope dropped
dropped away, as the petals fall
from a fading flower, know that
such anguish cannot find solace in
the tenderest words.
The citizens of Guthrie Center will
miss his counsel and good advise
which was always sought and freely
given in whatever concerned the well
fare and advancement of the town
he had grown to love. The town and
community will miss his kindly smile
and friendly greeting; they will long
in vain to hear the ring Of his jovial
laughter and to feel his genial pres
ence.
Funeral services were held last
Sunday afternoon conducted by Rev.
]. G. Orth, pastor of the Presbyterian
church. He was member of the
Masonic fraternity and this order had
charge of the service at the cemetery.
Members from Casey, Adair, Stuart,
Panora, Jamaica and Audubon join
ed with the Guthrie Center lodge in
paying the last tribute of respect to
a deceased brother.

10TH COMP ANY
Wins ANOTHER
MATCH SUNDAY

An aggregation OF star ball-tossers
representing X Company of the LIST
Infantry failed in their attempt to
check the winning streak of the crack
159th Company, c. A. c., team at
Kruger Sunday afternoon when they
went down to defeat to the tune of
IL to 8. After learning that the 159th
Company had won % straight games,
the X Company management decided
that that was enough and the coast
boys must be stopped from getting
further into the limelight.
Company KS alibi should be based
on the day being too chilly or on being
tired from the auto ride from Scho-
field to Kruger but no doubt the direct
cause for their defeat was the fact that
IL of the 80 batsmen who faced South
retired after taking three hearty
whiffs at the pill. They succeeded in
gathering two hits, one in the first
inning and one in the sixth.
Hollerbach's offerings were mostly
"slow ones" which the Coasters"
must have found to their liking as
they landed nine hits, two of them
going for two bases each and one for
the entire round trip.
The game was well played except
when the "doughboys" blew up in the
ninth, making four errors, causing five
runs to cross the plate.
