Judge Fred Maser issued a mar
rage license on Monday to Joseph
Kathrein Of Glendive, Mont, and Miss
Regina Grasl of Gladstone.
The annual Halloween party of the
Reed Store Club on Wednesday even
ing was a decided success, some very
clever stunts having been devised for
the occasion. The guests were
ushered up into the store balcony
which was deliberately decorated with
black witches and orange and black
streamers. The lights were shaded
with orange crepe, a soft glow being
thus secured. Lunch was served in
the basement at one big long table.
covered with orange and black, and
laid for "a, and a number Of jack
olanterns were strung above the
table. A strip Of zinc attached to an
electric battery, was rug all around
the table and the guests received
many a shock as they touched their
knives OF other articles. Suddenly
while the guests were still eating, the
room grew dark and Il ghost with a
lurid face, slowly approached the
table. Everyone's heart missed at
least a beat. 1t was later discovered
that the gruesome guest was a me-
chanical device with an electric motor.
Another feature was a sightseeing
tour around the store in an electrically
charged coaster cart. The use of the
electrical appliances was originated
by VIM. C. Hearl and Raymond
Gaab Of the store, with the assistance
of Casper Crawford. Part of the
evening was also spent at cards.

r A M11hro Of HettinCay township

B. A. Myhro of Hettinger township,
after an illness of two weeks follow
ing an operation for appendicitis, died
last week. The body was taken back
to the old home in Spring Grove, MINI.

Buchel Restaurant Destroyed by Fire
The restaurant on Sims Street, adj
joining the Masonic Temple, conducted
by Mrs Grace Buchel, a widow, since
July, took fire at IN early hour Satur-
day morning and was entirely de-
stroyed, including nearly all it's con-
tents. No one was injured.
In the house at the time of the fire
were Mrs. Buchel, her two sons and
r. F. Sackett, a roomer. The men
slept on the upper floor, Mrs. Buchel
occupying a back room on the lower
floor. She was awakened about $3.50
by smelling smoke. Opening her eyes
she noted that the front of the house,
that was used as the restaurant, was
ablaze. Hastily dressing, she called
to the boys several times before they
were awakened. In the meantime, she
threw a few possessions into a trunk
and dragged it through a rear door.
Several times she plunged into the
blazing house to rescue small articles
until held back y'the crowd that had
assembled. Her dress caught afire
but was quickly extinguished, Her
hair was badly scorched. The boys
issued forth with no shoes upon their
feet and hardly dressed, carrying their
%bedclothes. The firemen made quick
response to the alarm but nothing
could be done to save the premises.
Nearly everything in the house was
burned, including all of the boys
clothing. Mrs. Buchel saved her ac-
counts and money and two trunks.
Her mother, who had been staying
at the house for a few days, had de-
parted the day before the fire. The
insurance carried on the stock did not
cover the loss.
A dog, belonging to the family, was
burned to death in the flames. Mrs.
Buchel has no idea how the fire
was first noted near the heater in the
restaurant which had been banked up
on her retirement.
The building was owned by Frank
and Mollie Kostelecky. g They state
that they will not rebuild at present.
Mrs. Buchel formerly lived on a farm
and, after her husbands death, opened
the restaurant. She said she was JUS,
getting to that point where a COM
Portable living was assured when the
fire came and took nearly everything
she had. She is undecided as to the
future.

Barn DESTROYED by Fire

A barn in the northeast part Of
town, owned by Jerry Dryer and
leased by Oscar Olson, was entirely
destroyed Wednesday afternoon. The
insurance Of $3.50 will not cover the
loss. The cause of the fire is I'M
known. What adds to the gravity of
the situation is the fact that, in the
fire and baked to a turn were fifteen
fine chickens which were being saved
for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
This is extremely malapropos in view
of the fact that the Government has
cut down on the grub supply, desig-
mating a meatless day for each week.
Quick work on the part of the local
fire department is deserving Of COM
ment. The boys were there and had
water on the flames almost as soon
as the siren shrieked.
