N. C. Jensen and George Berzel

N. C. Jensen and George Berzel
started out on Tuesday via auto to
Glendive and other Montana points on
a business mission. They expected
to be back by the end of the week.
S. o. Steenson, who for several
days was the guest of his sister, Mrs.
G. o. Jahr, and family, departed on
Thursday for his home at Whalen,
Mimi, neal which place he owns a
large farm. Mr.. Steenson was on a
return trip from the Glacier National
Park and other western points. This
was his first visit out this way and
he was much impressed with the
country. On Tuesday Mrs. Jahr and
her brother made an auto trip to the
New England vicinity for a visit with
the formers daughter, Miss Sophie,
who is teaching out that way.
Misses Florence Dryer and Esther
Boehlke arranged a most pleasant
birthday surprise for the formers
sister, Miss Lola, at the Jerry Dryer
home on Wednesday evening. The af-
fair was well planned, Miss Lola on
coming home from a neighbors being
completely surprised by the rooms
full of guests. Conversation, cards
and music whiled away the evening
and toward the close, the hostesses
served a dainty luncheon. Black cats,
and witches were used in the decora-
tive scheme and Halloween colors
softened the lights. Black and yellow
streamers festooned the parlors.
Miss Dryer was showered with a
large number of beautiful gifts.
The fine residence of F. l.. Ro-
quette, on Fourth Avenue West, had
a narrow escape from serious damage
by fire on Sunday last, being saved
only by the plucky action Of Miss
Oral Roquette. Mr.. Roquette had
ordered the furnace drained during
the latter part of last week, prepare
tory to refilling the boiler with fresh
water for the winter. As the weather
continued warm and no fire was need
ed, it was not refilled at the time.
On Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Roquette
drove to Killdeer for a visit at the
R. S. Davidson home. During the
afternoon the weather grew colder
and Miss Oral, who remained at home,
decided to build a fire, not knowing
that the boiler had been drained.
The result was that several sections
Of the boiler were burned out and a
partition in the basement caught on
fire. Miss Roquette discovered the
flames and turned a garden hose into
the basement window and quickly ex-
tinguished the fire. The furnace was
practically ruined, however, and the
fire and smoke did considerable dam
age to basement and first floor.

DIES AFTER ILLNESS
OF ONLY Two WEEKS

Mrs. Anna May Young, operated
upon at a local hospital two weeks
ago for an acute attack of stomach
trouble, died this (Friday) morning,
having steadily failed since her
operation. Infection had set in before
the operation and surgical skill was
without avail.
Mrs. Young was in the prime Of
life, as years of age, and her sudden
demise proved a decided shock to a
large circle of friends. The children,
Madeline, Margaret and Mrs. Maxwell
Burnett, who were with her to the
end, feel the deepest sorrow.
William, the only son, has not yet
been notified of his mothers death
because just at present his address
is unknown.
Deceased and her family moved to
Dickinson from Minneapolis about
three years ago. They spent a winter
here and later moved to Kalispell,
Mont, where they resided until early
this spring, when Mrs. Young and her
two younger daughters came back to
Dickinson and temporarily made their
home with the formers eldest daugh-
ter, Mrs. Maxwell Burnett.
Slightly more than two weeks ago
deceased complained Of illness, but
was not confined to her room until a
day before the operation was ordered.
She was then removed to the hospital
but as soon as the surgeons began
operating they learned that there was
but little hope, as a serious infection
had already set in.
The deepest sympathy is extended
the bereaved family.

POPULAR YOUNG CITY
PAIR MARRIED TODAY

At the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Archie Dingman, oc-
CURED the marriage, at 10 o'clock
this (Friday) morning, of their eldest
daughter, Arvilla, to Earl Branick.
The ceremony, conducted by Rev.
R. H. Craig, was witnessed by about
35 of their relatives and most init
mate friends. The wedding party en-
tered the parlor to the music of the
Mendelsshon wedding march, played
by Miss Florence Davis; the groom
and best man, Elliot Freeman, adj
vancing to the nuptial bower Of
autumn leaves and awaiting there the
bride, who was attended by her
father, and her bridesmaid, Miss
Dorothy Stickney.
! Immediately after the conclusion Of
| the marriage service, Miss Ruth
: Butler sang a brilliant love song,
| Thurlow L~ieurance's BLOSSOM" with
; Frederic Jcssen playing the violin
| obligato. Then followed the cnthusi-
astic greetings and congratulations of
| the assembled friends, who expressed
| their sincerest hopes for the best of
success and happiness to continue
j with the young people throughout
their long life together.
Neither the bride or groom need in
PRODUCTION to the people of Dickinson
and vicinity, both having lived here
all Their lives; attending the local
schools together, and enjoying then,
as also when later facing "the sterner
reality of the business Of life," the
interest and affection Of a host of
friends.
The bride, one of Dickinson's most
deservedly popular girls, is, as one
friend remarked recently, mot only
cute but capablc;" being very eff
cient in all branches of home science
as well as the sccretarial work she
has been engaged in, both here and
in Medora, and possessing a most
loveable personality and social
manner.
Mr.. Branick, the youngest son of
Mrs. A.. Branick, has been in the
automobile business for several years,
also owning the Dickinson Vulcaniz-
ing shop until recently, when he sold
this business with the intention of
soon engaging in other branches of
the auto business on a larger scale.
EARL" as he is familiarly greeted by
all, has, by dint Of wide-awakc at
tention to any and all details OF his
work, and unfailing courtesy at all
times, won for himself a most envi-
able reputation in both a business
and social way.
The BRIDES gown was white silk net
over pale yellow charmeusc, trimmed
in silver braid; her corsage bouquet
las was also that of the ~bridesmaid)
being of pale pink roses. Miss
Stickney was attired in dainty white
net; the men of the party appearing
in the usual black.
A delicious four course wedding
breakfast was served by Mrs. Ding
man, assisted by Mesdam Ferris, Fox
and Dcitcrs; each guest being pre-
sented, at the end Of the rcpast, with
a tiny bcll-bcdcckcd "favor-box" con-
tanning q bit of the wedding cake.
The young couple leave sometime
! during the day on a short honeymoon,
the itinerary of the trip being care
fully withheld from their friends, who
are, it might be added, fairly anxious
to discover said plans before, rather
than after, their departure.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brcnick will be at
home after December 1st, in their
cozy new bungalow on Seventh Ave.
West.

COULD A COMING
PITCHING MARVEL
Expert of Cleveland Expects Great
Things of MuScatine Midget
for Season of 1917.

That Alb Gould since joining the
Cleveland Americans, has hurled such
brand of ball as to produce victory
under ordinary circumstances and thar
the former Musky spitball star should
not be charged with a single defeat, is
the statement OF Henry P. Edwards, 4
sport scribe of Cleveland.
Commenting on Manager Lee Fohl'3
ability to develop young pitchers ami
make a strong showing in the pennant
race with only one veteran on his
staff, Edwards writes as follows:
Suppose Foil had had the luck that
so many big league managers have
that of having all his rookie pitchers
prove to be spring boomers. Where
would Cleveland be today? But CHIEF
Lee had more than luck An old catch
er himself, he was able TO impart much
valuable advice to his young pitchers,
and he had the satisfaction of seeing
both Bagby and Coveleskie come
through with flying colors, while
Coumbe, though lacking in physical
strength, was able to dash through
the first month of the campaign with
five straight victories.
But who is the third youngster to
come through? Albert Gould, the Mus
catine midget. True he was not one
of the Indians upon the training trip
nor has he won more games than he
has lost. That is not his fault, how
ever. Had he been supported either at
bat or in the field he would now rank
up among the winning pitchers of the
year. In fact, he has pitched good
enough ball to have won every game he
has pitched.
In the meantime Morton's arm went
back on him, causing Guy to be of no
use to the club since June IA, while
klepfer, as a result of illness, has been
able to render but little service Con-
sequently, Foil has been deprived for
the greater part of the season of the
services of the four veterans he had
counted upon carrying the greater
part of the pitching burden. Mitchell
won but one game for Cleveland.
Hagerman did nothing but help lose
games. Morton has not worked for
six or seven weeks. while Klepfer was
himself only for two or three weeks.

START TICKET SALE
FOR THE PLOW BOYS

That there is enough public spirit in
Moline to insure success of the cam
paign to dispose Of 5000 baseball
books at IS each, is the opinion of
those who are taking an active part in
the big effort. Already a number of
the books have been sold, as indicated
by the fact that 81 10-cent coupons
were taken in at the gate yesterday.
the first day the coupons were placed
on sale.
The workers are getting results and
as rule it doesn't require much of
an effort 10 convince a prospect of
the benefits to be derived by the city
as well as himself in buying at this
time. Business men of the city who
have been asked for expressions con
corning the campaign have without ex-
cepton commended the plan.
Not only does it carry out the idea
Of thrift, which is to buy when the
buying is good. but it is fulfilling a de-
sire of the fans for cheaper baseball
and insures .9astimiug in the city for
