Our Indian population is not in

265, 6S3, an increase Of seven per cent.
While the Indian population is not in
creasing, it bears a steadily decreasing

JUNE WAS AN OFF
MONTH FOR BRIDES
Slump in Marriage Market Sc.
quel to Wet Weather During
May and June this Year

The month of June was expected to
break all records for marriages in
Stevens county this year. but it
didn't. Deputy Clerk CT Court Peder-
son blames wet and cold weather dur
ing Nav and June for the failure of
matrimonial crops and the slack bust
ness at his marriage license counter
at the court house.
According to the records in his office
only 8 licenses were issued. Febru-
airy came within one of tying the score
with Z. Last year TIE month of Octo-
Der established the record and Mr..
Peterson is looking for good business
again this fall. Judge Stenger who
has his Office at the fuot of the stairs
leading to Mr.. Pederson's marriage
certificate bazaar, carried off the hon.
ors last year for the greatest number
of marriages performed by any judge
or pastor in Morris. But during June
he almost waited in vain for the timid
tapping of bridegrooms at his door al
though it is a widely advertised fact
that he can tie the marriage knot just
as fast. neat and strong as anybody
in the business. He officiated only
once last month.
Photographer Voss in this city is
another who has noticed the heavy
slump in the marriage market during
June. He succeeded in swapping
only 10 couples recently made happy
but some of them were late arrivals
who will celebrate their wedding day
in April and May.
So far this month, up till yesterday,
only one license has been issued and
that went to Oliver Hess, young
man from Richland county, North
Dakota and Miss Molly Medwind.
The couple were married by Rev
Henry Nobbs with Mrs. Nobhs and
Nancy Harris as witnesses Tie
brides former home is near Chokio.

MYSTERY SHROUDS
KILLING AT CYRUS
Unknown Man Meets Horrible
End While Walking on Tracks
Buried at Glenwood

Up till Tuesday of this week no
new light had been shed tending to
establish the identity of the man
killed on the railroad tracks near Cy-
rus last week. The remains were
gathered up in small pieces and part
of the man taken to Glenwood for
burial in the city cemetery. The top
of the skull was smashed and the face
was ground into an unrecognizable
mass. Nothing was found in the man $
pockets to reveal his identify or
whence he came. The Cyrus Citize /
tells about the tragedy as follows:
can unknown man was found dead
on the N. P. railroad track about 8
mile and a quarter east of Cyrus on
Tuesday morning by the train crew Of
the east bound passenger.
1t is. thot from all evidence obtain
able that he was struck by the west
bound special from Glenwood to Nor
ris on the proceeding evening shortly
after ten O. clock. He was mangIed
beyond recognition. The top of his
head and face were completely cut off
and both legs severed from the body
