WIN Cne exception OF MIS-. + j.. -. + OOLc,
Of San Pedro, CAL, who was unable to
come on account of illness.
A unique feature in connection with
this wedding celebration is, the fact
that the principals were attended by
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hetherton and Mr..
and Mrs. Daniel Conan, who have al
ready celebrated their fiftieth anniver-
saries. Rev. T. U. Richmond officiat-
ing received their vows which pledged
anew the ones made a half century
ago.
The major portion of the guests ar
rived early and the day was pleasant
ly spent in visiting and recounting the
events of those early days, filled with
happenings so momentous to the pio-
neers of a new country. Interspersed
were diversions that kept the merry
company in state of pleasurable an
ticipation. Miss Blanche Lynch, pre-
siding at the piano, rendered several
beautiful selections, and VIM. Hether-
ton in fine voice sang "Annie Laurie
and 'Barrin' O. the Door," while Mar
tin jacobson, full of pranks as usual
would trip the light fantastic on the
porch with whatever fair maid hap
pened to come his way, and at the con-
clusion of the festivities, eight couples,
including the bride and groom, danced
upon the lawn before the house.
A tent had been erected on the
lawn and here splendid banquet was
provided for the guests, the table be-
ing decorated with bouquets of beauti-
full chrysanthemums.
The gifts presented to this worthy
couple were most beautiful and num-
erous. Following is list of the gifts
and donors:
Gold handled parasol, suitably en-
eraved from Mesdames. James Johnson
Martin Jacobson, Henry K!uver, VIM
| Murray, Thos. Johnson, John Lynch

tective were on hand. The men,
knowing something was up, jumped
from the train and ran but the officers
gave chase and arrested them all
They were brot to Minot and held un-
til Sheriff Slaughter of Mountrail ar
rived. They were taken to Stanley
and it is certain they will get long
terms in the pen.

gian refugee who fled to this country
to escape the wrath of the Germans.
His story of the great conflict across
the seas is interesting as we'll as hor-

his denunciation of the Germans. He
speaks sarcastically of German Gull
ture" and declares that the German
invasion of Belgium was marked for
its brutality. Roas came to this coun-
try last February in search of work.
At the outbreak of the war he was
employed in wooden mill near Liege,

the Belgian people, who are grateful
for the relief given them by Ameri-
cans at the instance of the President.
