$4,000 stock of merchandise a

transported the goods from the Dow

new store on Third and Mdin. The
new store is one Of the classiest any

it became known today. will be
considered at the forthcoming
meeting of the Wisconsin pardon
board. The five year fight of Mrs.
Deitz has thus far resulted in the

life to twenty years. She may
now win his immediate freedom.
1t was to save her from injury
when she was about to become
mother that Dietz gave up the bat
tie in the barricaded cabin in the
Wisconsin woods aud surrendered
to the authorities in 1910.
Hundreds of letters have been
pouring into Governor Il. L. Phil.
ipp's Office since it was announced
that application for pardon was
filed, from influential citizens ask
ing that the board of pardons give
Dietz his freedom.

Roslyn, was struck by Lightning
during the severe electrical storm
Saturday evening. Mr.. Haaseth
and his family, except two of the
boys, were in the house at the
time. The bolt struck the chim-
ney of the house, followed down
to rafter which was broken
squarely off.
Those in the house were so bad
ly stunned from the shock that it
was some time before they could
realize what had happened. Upon
investigation it was found that no
fire had been started.
The boys who were in the barn
were also badly stunned. John
says he considers himself and
family fortunate indeed, not to
have been instantly killed.-Roslyn

the Sisseton trains will be run

made Que of the principal points

to Ortonville SO as to place them
in closer touch with Big Stone

made as soon as the new tract is

From White Rock Journal.

An Equity promoter has been
trying to organize stock COM
pany i'll this community with the
purpose of buying or building a
mill, putting in an elevator and
coal sheds, and running the busi-
ness for the benefit OF those SUBJ
scribing. The total capital is to
be SIPS 900, and not less than five
shares will be sold to any one per-
son. The shares are $lOO. The
line of talk put up by some of these
fellows does sometimes sound
pretty we'll, but our advice would
be tolook closely for '1ligger in
the woodpile' before going too far
into an enterprise of this kind.
This particular proposition might
be all right-we don't know, but
instances have been known of pos
SCISSORS of unstable property who
organize stock companies for the
very purpose of disposing of their
rundown property. 1t is better to
be careful than sorry.
While driving OH the road about

daughter but her little boy was not
able to get out until the horses had
ran quite distance, when he fell
out and sustained some bad bruises
about the head and face, losing
his upper front teeth. That more
serious consequences did not re-
suit is very fortunate.

Ripley-Fielder

The marriage of Earl A. Ripley
and Miss Susan Fielder occurr.
ed at Fairmont, Mimi, on Sat.
urday July 1st, 1916. The we'd
ding occurred at the home of
Sheriff Carver, which fact, how.
ever, is no reflection on the soci-
al standing of our genial friend
Mr.. Ripley, but is accounted for
in this way: The brides aunt,
Miss Fannie Dobson, has made
her home with the Carvers for
several years, and being the near
est relative in this part of the
country, assumed the RESPONSE
bility for the nuptial festivities.
Rev. DIR. Fielder, father of the
bride, performed the ceremony.
Mr.. Fielder is Methodist min
lister, and could only leave his
charge in Alabama long enough
for the wedding.
The acquaintance eliminating
in this happy event began at
Lake Benton. Mimi, about six
years ago, where the young lady
was teaching school. She is of
English birth and education,
her only near relatives on this
side of the water being her
father and aunt.
Following the ceremony,
which was strictly private the
wedding party went for days
outing at Hands Park, and later
the happy couple took train for q
brief tour to Lake Michigan
points, including Rockford and
Chicago, ILL.,, and Kenosha, Wis.
They will be at home after
August Is, at the fine new home
in Hammer.
The groom is one of the best
known and popular young men
of this vicinity. He has been
manager ofthe Farmers Eleva-
tor Co., at Hammer for the past
two years very successfully, and
we have his word for it that the
young lady of his choice is en-
tirely too good for him, which,
Of course, is the way of happy
young husbands.
1t is with a feeling of genuine
pleasure that the Record wishes
for Mr.. and Mrs. Ripley God
speed upon the marital journey,
with safe anchorage in the
harbor of contented old age

carried in trailers, while others are

blankets strapped to the sides of
their cars. But the procession
continues every day.
Just before Miss Inga Roe, night

Mrs. N. w. Schon, residing two
miles east of Glendale. was burned
to death in fire that destroyed
part of the Kitchen in the residence.
Exactly how the accident occurred
will probably never be known as
Mrs. Schon was alone in the house
preparing the noon meal. 1t is
thought however, that she was
attempting to hasten the fire in the
stove by pouring kerosene on it.
The gas evidently exploded, i'm
stantly enveloping her in a mass of
flame and setting the kitchen on
fire. The fire and tragedy was
first discovered by Mr.. Schon who
noticed smoke issuing from the
windows. He Immediately rushed
to the house, and attempted to drag
Mrs. Schonintothe open air. The
heat was too excessive, however,
and he was forced to extinguish
the FIRE before the body could be
removed. At the end of that time
Mrs. schon was past all aid, the
upper part of her body being badly
burned.
