of the contracting parties were pres

the young people departed over the

Fargo, Aberdeen, Watertown and other
cities in the Dakotas. They will be at
home to friends at 623 Rose street,
North La Crosse, after Nov. 1, where
the groom has furnished a beautiful
and comfortable home.
Both groom and bride come from
leading families of this city, and each
of them are very popular among
their many friends here and else
where. The bride is a talented and
very estimable young lady. The groom
is a freight conductor on the La Crosse
division of the milwaukee, road. He
is a general favorite among railway

Times wishes for them a happy, con-
