BRIDE OF
COLORADO MAN
Interesting Wedding Oe-
ours When Former Extra
Girl in West Marries

The following clipping taken
from a Victor, Colorado, paper
tells of the marriage of Miss Gret-
chen Delahoyde, eldest daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Delahoyde,
who, for several years, were resi-
dents Of Extra:
"On Saturday, October2 %, at the
home of the brides sister and hus.
band, Mr.. and Mrs. w. 1. Dukes,
of Fort Collins, occurred the mar
riage of Miss Gretchen Delahoyde
and William Franklin Jones, Jr.
"These young people rather stole
a march on their friends here. On
Thursday, October 20, accompanied
by Mrs. L. Delahoyde, they
started presumably on a motor
picnic to Colorado Springs and Vi
cinity but continued on to Fort
Collins where Mrs. Dukes had
everything arranged for the cere-
mony. Her beautiful home was
profusely decorated with cut
flowers, ferns and potted plants,
and at high noon these young
people were united in marriage by
the Rev. L. Brooks Crosby of the
First Baptist church of that city.
Only the Immediately family and
Mrs. Crosby witnessed the cere-
mony. A very elaborate luncheon
was then served after which the
bride and groom left Immediately
for Denver.
"The bride is one of the most adj
mired young women of this city,
cultured and of unusual business
ability. A graduate of the Cap
itol Business College of Salem,
Oregon, the Iowa Teachers Col
lege and the Margaret Fealy
Dramatic school of Denver. She
has held the responsible position
of cashier of the Bank of Victor
for three years.
"The groom has spent the great
er part of his. life in our own fair
city. He is an ex-service man,
enlisting early in the war with
Battery G. Heavy Artillery and
during his two years of service
| fought on four battle fronts, the
Champagne-Marne, Meuse-Ar-
gonne, St. Miheil and Marne-
Aisne. He now holds he position
of teller in the Bank Of Victor.
"Mr. and Mrs. Jones will make
their home here where they expect
/ to continue in their present work
and will be at home to their many
friends at the Delahoyde apart
ment for the present."

Seventeen Candidates In
itiated into $40 and s.

An unusual and rare sight was
witnessed on the streets of Extra
last Monday afternoon when a
number of Legion members were
being initiated into the mysterious
order, $40 and s." Fully grown
men forgot their dignity so far as
to crawl on all fours, standing on
their heads occasionally to rest
their poor knees, or sprawling full
length when the commands of a
"hard boiled" official indicated that
to be the proper time to do so.
Not fguratively but in reality
did men 'bite the dust" after the
fashion of a bunch of salt-hungry
cattle. Rolling marbles with their
noses was a feature which may re-
volutionize the boys marble game,
for certainly no small boys marble
game was ever played with half
the vim and pep or gave half the
pleasure to the participants as did
this Mondays game. Altogether it
very much resembled a game of
Rock and Rye, in which the Rye
had a decided advantage in weight
The remainder Of the initiation
was carried out behind closed doors
but if we take the candidates
word for it, the street affair was so
tame in comparison as to be scarce
ly worthy of consideration.
| Atsix o'clock the Ladies Auxil
isry served splendid supper to
the weary candidates and things
became quiet once more. Any can
didate who did not think he had
his moneys worth was offered ar
opportunity to take the work over
again, free of charge. Strange to
say every one agreed that he had
gotten 100 cents worth for dollar,
"You Tell 'em ALL"
The following candidates from
Extra were initiated: Chas. Crees,
W. p. Young, Chris Stone, Peter
A. Jessen, Irwin Beck, Jens Beck,
Carl Hensley, John loft, Bruce
Benton, Martin Roed, Elmer Roed,
Frank Dimick, George Voss and j.
j. kearney, A number from Coon
Rapids were also taken in. Vlning
of Woodbine and Clark, of Audu-
bon had charge of the work.

.CHR|STY'S SIDE LOSES
IN BIG DUCK HUNT
Most Of the Ducks Proved
to Be Rabbits but What's
in a Name Anyway?

An old-fashioned duck hunt was
staged in our city the past week
and most of the male population
took part in the affair. Mr.. Eckles,
of our school, 'fathered" the plan
and appointed G. G. Christensen
and R. A. Lantz as captains. They
in turn chose sides and the big
hunt was on. The losing side
agreed to banquet the winners
with the game which they bagged
and consequently "big feed" was
INDUCED in at the Methodist
church last evening which was we'll
attended as the men decided at the
last minute to let their better
halves get filled up once, too.
The affair was something clear
out of the ordinary in one respect.
Instead of letting the women do
the work" as is the usual custom
OF our male citizens, they decided
to make them their guests for the
evening. j. P. Jorgensen, of the
Bakery prepared the meal which
consisted of baked potatoes, pickles
rabbit-ducks and mince pie.
After the elmer man" was
fully" satisfied, the crowd was
entertained by Messrs. Eustis and
Buxton, both Of Atlantic, who de-
livered addresses which were wor-
thy of much praise.

HAS EXCITING EXPER-
|ENCE WITH BURGLAR
Former Extra Lady, Now
Residing in Denver, Colo
RADIO, Shows Bravery

The nerve and quick wit of g
Denver woman led to the capture
of burglar Wednesday night.
Armed with high-powered
rife and prepared to kill if neces-
sary, Miss Emily L. Johnson, of
1853 Gaylord street, crouched on
the hall stairway Of her home,
waiting for either the form Of the
burglar to emerge through door
way, or for the police to announce
their presence.
The arrival Of the police saved
the life of the burglar. He was
lodged in the city jail. He gave
the name of Frank Blackmer and
said he was hungry. He is ~
years cid.
Alens in the hous,, Miss John
IN retired about ten O'Clock. A
1ew minutes later she was awak-
.ened by a pounding noise, appar-
emily coming from the basement.
Alarmed, Miss johnson walked
down the stairs to the first floor.
sThere she heard the burglar
cutting at a thin panel in the door
which opens from the kitchen into
the basement. The woman
grasped the rife, which was kept
in the room next to the kitchen
and fastened to the third floor
bedroom where an extension tele-
phone is located.
Central was on the job. So
we're the Capilol Hill police, and
Miss johnson hurriedly whispered
the particulars. Then she left the
bedroom and stationed herself on
the stair landing, rife in hand,
cooked and aimed at the doorway
through which the intruder would
emerge.
