great care should be exercised in se-
lecting Judges for the Probate
Court as for the Circuit Court, as
the value of all property in the
county, comes before that court, on
an average, every twenty five years.

since 1909. making a specially of

SURPRISE WEDDING
At THE MONTANA

To the anticipated pleasure of an
evening of bridge at the home of
Miss Maud E. McCrate was added
the surprise of wedding, Mr. Her
man Albert claiming Miss McCrate
as his bride a few minutes after mid
night Sunday morning

resident OF Tonopah since the days
of the San Francisco disaster in 1906
and in those years has claimed scores
of friends She is the daughter of
Mrs. Daniel McCrate and for some
years past has held the responsible
position of secretary treasurer of the
Montana Tonopah Mines company,
bearing the distinction of being one
of few women who have successfully
managed a mine.
Mr.. Albert is at present connected
with the Tonopah Banking Corpora
ton and is a man of high standards
and high ideals. who demands and
holds the esteem of all who come in
contact with him
To all intents and purposes the
bridge party scheduled for Saturday
evening was to have been sort of
house warming in the home which
the McCrates recently remodeled on
the Montana hill. The evening was
pleasantly passed in playing bridge,
and imagine the surprise when the
groom-elect appeared in the doorway
shortly after twelve with minister
in his wake Ministers are usually
for some purpose, but why here? Not
many minutes passed before his mis-
sion was made known.

FATHER DIED LAST MAY IN ALSACE
SISTER IN PARIS IGNORANT Of DEATH

The father of Father Jerome Diss,
pastor of st. Patrick's church, died
last May in Wosselonne, province Of
Alsace, Germany, and news of the
death was only received yesterday by
the son in Tonopah. The story came
through another priest in northern
Wisconsin, a native of Alsace, who
succeeded in receiving a letter from
home after three months delay
through detention in the border coun-
try of Switzerland before it could be
safely transmitted through a neutral
seaport. The Wisconsin priest asked
Father Diss to notify his sister in
Paris of the bereavement. as 1t was
almost certain that there was no com
munication between the war zone
