COUPLE BARELY ESCAPE
WITH THEIR LIVES

Mr.. and Mrs. John Barnes of near
Greenfield had trying experience
and suffered quite financial loss
Saturday morning when their house
burned to the ground. Mrs. Barnes
was awakened about 1880 O'Clock by
a sense of suffocation and called her
husband who .ouId the house was on
fire. Without waiting to fully dress
they ran down stairs to find all the
fire was seemingly upstairs. On re-
turning to go up for their clothes
they found the flames ahead of them
and turned their attention toward
getting out all they could of the down
stairs furniture. They succeeded I'M
aided in getting out the piano and a
number of articles, but nothing could
be done towards saving the house.
Everything upstairs was a total loss,
all the furniture. bedding and clothes
leaving the unfortunate couple with
only the clothes they had on and some
old coats which hung in the kitchen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes have been mar
ried little over year. Their furn-
iture and bedding was all new. Their
loss is quite discouraging but another
half hours sleep would probably have
cost them their lives, so there is much
to be thankful for despite their I'M
fortunate loss. -.s-l~ 1874.

COUPLE KEEP MARRIAGE
SECRET UNTIL CHRISTMAS

Miss Mary Baier, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. j. c. Baier, who recently
moved to this city from near Extra
was united in marriage to Mr.. Jack
Campbell, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Campbell, residing eight miles south
east of Audubon at Guthrie Center on
September 23rd. However, the news
of their marriage was kept a pro-
| found secret until Christmas day
when Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell were
guests at the Baier home for the fam
lily dinner, when the marriage was
ANNOUNCED.
The groom is one of the progress
sive young. farmers of the county,
and after his marriage he went about
doing his usual work, while his wife
made an extended visit at the home
of her sister, Mrs. Morris Brady, near
Guthrie Center. The parents were
almost dumbfounded when the coup
lie told them of the marriage, but as
soon as the surprise wore away, all
set about to make the day one of
double rejoicing.
The young people come from two
of the best families in Audubon coun-
ty. They start out in life with every
advantage on earth, and no doubt
will make life success on the farm
of the groom's father where they will
go to housekeeping the first of March.
A large circle of friends will be
pleased to learn of this marriage and
eager to join the Republican in ex-
tending most hearty congratulations
and best wishes, for a happy and
prosperous future

PAYS BIG PRICE
FOR YOUNG BULL

August Johnson was in Harlan Fri
day where he attended the Frank
Ham Hereford cattle sale, which he
reports was one of the biggest sales
of the year, the entire Offering aver
aging over $400 head. Mr.. John
son purchased bull calf nine months
old for which he paid $2O25. and is
said by those who know that the
animal was the best individual in the
entire offering. He also purchased
the bulls mother for which he paid
$1,000. This is certainly a big price
to pay for a Herford cow Last week
Mr.. Johnson attended the Martin
Armentrout sale and purchased a
young cow for $615.
This pure bred stock has been ad-
ded to Mr.. Johnson's large herd of
Herefords which now number over a
hundred head. He has been search
ing for the best on the market and
when he holds his dispersion sale
early in the spring. Mr.. Johnson will
be able to offer the breeders and pure
stock raisers of this section of the
country herd of Herefords second to
none in the state.

EXPLOSION KLS4 AND INJURIES IL NEAR KMBALLTON SUNDAY

of this nature before, maintained a
steady nerve and remained upon the
scene until their work had been av-
complished. 1t was several hours
before first aid had been administer
ed to the injured and more extendd
plans were made for their care.
Meanwhile many pitiful scenes
were being enacted. Many of the
injured were children whose cries
and means caused the stoutest-
hearted to weep.
Mrs. MAIDS Faaborg of Nysted,
Nebr., in addition to other frightful
injuries, had a splinter of wood driv-
en- entirely through her body, pierre
ing one Of her lungs. She is said to
be in critical condition.
The funerals of the victims of the
explosion are being arranged. The
burial of John Nelson was held We'd
nesday from Kimbtallton. The burial
of Mrs. Faaborg and her two daugh-
tiers will probably be held today.
The surviving members of the Faa-
borg family have scarcely yet been
able to think connectedly, much less
plan for the last sad rites for their
relatives.

CELEBRATE THEIR
SILVER WEDDING
Prominent Kimballton Couple Cele.
brate Event That will Long
be Remembered by Entire
Family

o. H. Jacobsen, who represented
Audubon county in the state legisla
ture two terms, celebrated the twenty
| fifth anniversary of his married life
recently. Mr.. Jacobsen is one of the
prominent men in Sharon township
and has done much toward making
that part of the county one of the
garden spots of America. He is SC
well known in all sections, that we
reprint the following account of the
celebration from the Kimballton
Record, as it will be much interest to
his friends here and elsewhere:
ION December II, 1891, near
Wayne, Nebr., occurred the marriage
of Miss Stella Hughlin to Mr.. o. H.
Jacobson. That was twenty-five long
years ago. The bride on that occasion
wore a charming gown of white
cashmere, with white satin inserts,
while the groom was dressed in the
conventional suit To commemorate
this event the Jacobson home was
the scene of gaity last Sunday. about
sixty old and new friends being pre-
sent to assist in blazing this import
ant mile post in their life's journey.
The bride and groom were once more
young. and gowned again in the dress
the bride wore then, she appeared as
though 1t was a wedding of the pre-
sent. Luncheon was served in the
afternoon, and an elaborate dinner
was served in the evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacobson were the
recipients Of many beautiful and
costly presents. Old neighbors pres
ented them with a silver fruit bowl,
two silver vases and two beautiful
boquets of flowers, and two silver
plates, one by Hans Madsen and
MAIDS Madsen and their respective
families, and silver spoon tray and
half a dozen silver spoons by Hans
Koch and family. The articles were
presented by Rev. Walter Jensen on
behalf of the donors. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Jacobson responded feelingly to
the remarks of Rev. Jensen.
Rev. V. A. Andersen also made a
pleasing address, using the 123rd
Psalm as text for his remarks.
Some splendid singing interspers-
ed the afternoon program"
