BY international News Service

NEW YORK, Jan. a." 'Tis
better to have loved and lost than
never to have loved at al"
John A. Pirtle, 43, Of Jackson,
Miss, found what solace there Is
in this soliloquy today a few hours
after his sixth bride had been
taken away from him by her angry
relatives.
Pirtle, who was born in Troup,
Tex, had been divorced five times
Last night he was welded to Mrs.
Alice Kuppinger, IS. Of Trenton, ~
]. Mrs. Kuppinger, widow, Is
the daughter Of Frederick w. TOlt.
When the brides father and two
brothers learned that she was to
be married last night, they started
an intensive search for Pirtle.
Everything was perfectly legal, but
they feared that a man who had
failed in five matrimonial ventures
very likely would soon find his
sixth on the rocks.
Pirtle heard OF their impending
visit soon after he had taken his
bride to hotel here. He fled
precibitately from the bridal suite
and sought police protection from
the brides relatives. When he re-.
turned to the hotel conveyed by
police, his wife had returned home
to Trenton with her father and
brothers.
Pirtle did not follow them.

Mandan Will Play Stutsman
County Quint Tomorrow
Night - Roy Mcleod and
Bart Mcleod Lead Elves To.
night-Is Last Home Game
of Season With Three Trays
Left

Basketball prides of jamestown
High invade Bismarck and Mandan
this weekend for games with the
crack quints of the Capital City and
Mandan high schools.
Bismarck will challenge the power
Of the invaders first. The game is
scheduled for tonight at 8 o'clock in
the high school gym and indications
point to another capacity crowd.
Mandan will play the Stutsman
county lads on the Braves court at
s p. M. Saturday.
Roy d. Mcleod, mentor Of the De-
mons, is slightly more pleased to-
day than he was a week ago at this
time. His proteges have been
showing flashes Of their old fight
ing spirit and seemed to have
snapped out Of the mental slump that
has been paramount since the Man
dan game.
Perhaps more than any other game
that will be played this winter, bar
ring championship fracas, Nc
Leod would like to win tonight's en-
counter, for he is pitting the De-
mons against quintet coached by
brother. Bart Mcleod.
The dope has it that Roy Mcleod
will have his wish, for jamestown
with no great amount Of po-
tcntial strength. However, in an
ticipation Of a game with his BROTH
er's pupils, Bart Mcleod will no
doubt have his men primcd for their
best game Of the season and it would
not be surprising if the Jimmics
would pull out victory.
Following the jamestown game
tonight which is the last home game
Of the seasons bill, Bismarck will
invade Mandap for the second game
Of the inter-city series on Friday,
Feb. II.
An eastern excursion will then be
taken by the Demons. Valley City
will be met on Friday, Feb. "a, and
jamestown OH Saturday, Feb. 25, the
last regular scheduled contest Of the
l927-l928 season.
On Mar. /. the Capital City cagers
will enter the district tourney at the
State Training school IN Mandan, for
better or worse.
