afraid and everybody has been kind
to us. We carry firearms and have
become pretty good shots.
Several severe storms hindered
us one Of them in the Spearfish

through the top of our automobile and
we took refuge in deserted black

ELEVEN YEARS LOSS

Union, Sept. 6. TO recover wed.
ding ring after 1t had been lost eleven
years was the rather unique expert
ence of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Cordle, Of
Union, during the past week. About
two years following their marriage
thirteen years ago their oldest child
was playing with the ring tied to rib
bon and in some way the ring was lost
in the street in front of their home.
After a long search, the ring was given
up as lost for good. Last week shortly
after John Lane had finished dragging
the street in front of their home, their
three year old son, Warren, found the
ring, while at play and brought it into
the house. A close inspection of the
ring revealed Mr. and Mrs. Cordle's
initials which were engraved on the
inside of the ring at the time of the
purchase, thus identifying it as the
long lost wedding ring. Although
somewhat bent out of shape, it was
taken to the local jewelry store where
it was Strengthened out and polished
up and proved to be practically as
good as ever despite it's long repose
