 Gave UnempIoyn1ent as Excuse.

It is not usual for a youth Of 90 years 10 be sent to jail for vagrancy from this town, but that is what hap pened to Aieclz Fetpa. The young man stated that he was out of work, could not get any, and had to go from house to house to beg for something to eat. He was arrested and when presented before Deputy Judge James N. Tucker was sentenced to serve 60 days. Hetpa was taken to Brooklyn by Chief George M. Filling.
 Want More Than Saturday for Ffshinq
 From WiiliamsvilIe comes strong objection to the plan of opening Alex ander's lake to fishing on Saturdays only after July l, 1916, when the pres ent closed season ends. People over there want more fishing days, and one man writes that he would as soon see the lake filled ill as to have any such arrangement in effect. This indicates the degree of objection that the pro- posed measure has aroused. It is probable that Killingly men interested in fishing will try to have the pending bill so amended as to permit more fishing days a week than Saturday.

CarboIic Acid

This community was greatly shocked
when the news was spread that Joseph
Yates, the 23-year-old son of Lew
Yates, the well-known farmer and
stockman formerly of Newdale but
now residing near Weitzer.
Just four months to the day Young
Yates had been married to Holly girl,
and the shock to her was terrible when
she realized that Joe had taken his own
life while despondent because of finan-
cial and domestic troubles.
On Monday morning the young man
had gone to Syracuse. Kan, and pur-
chased carbolic acid. He returned to
Holly about 5 o'clock, and just after
leaving the train he drank the acid and
started to walk to his home but short
distance away. On the way he collapsed
from the effects of the acid and died a
few moments after ne fell in the street.
The remains were brot to this city
and on Wednesday afternoon funeral
services were conducted in the Method
ist church by DIR. Warner. Interment
was in Valley View cemetery.

hung the Stars and Stripes, while on
either side futtered a Danish flag,
making graceful and most appropriate
additions to the decorations.
AS the guests arrived they were met
by Chris and Annie Jorgenson, grand
children of the hosts, who in charm
ing manner put everyone at their ease
and looked after their comfort.
Finally all were seated around the
bountifully filled tables, the ''piece de
resistance" on the first table being an
immense wedding cake.
After the dinner came the speech
making from Jorgen Jorgenson-the
eldest child of the happy old couple
and both Danish and American guests,
which were much enjoyed, as was also
a song in Danish from Old Man Jorgen-
son.
Then came the real enjoyment of the
evening when the parlor was cleared
out and prepared for dancing, in which
Grandmother and Grandfather Jorgen-
son led off with frisky Danish dance,
much to the delight and surprise of the
guests.
There was no cessation to the festiv-
tiles until o'clock on Saturday morn
ing, when the guests left for their
homes, expressing the hope that their
hosts might live to enjoy many more
anniversaries.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jorgenson were the re-
cipients of some very handsome pres
ents, including two easy chairs, table
linen, silver and chinaware.
The golden wedding celebrants were
united in marriage in North Denmark
on April 16, 1865, and came to America
in the fall of 1893, settling at Dell
Rapids, s. D, where they lived for
about ten years before following their
eldest son Jorgen to this city. OF their
descendants there are four children
Jorgen, now of Las Animas: Mrs. Trina
Brake of Croker, S. D.; Theodore of
Wilmer, dim, and Mrs. Minnie Jensen
of Rocky Ford fifteen grandchildren
and two great grandchildren, the little
tots being present at the celebration
with their parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
