MIR. and Mrs. James I. Turner
who were married recently in
Minnesota, following which. they
toured Minnesota and Wisconsin
on their honeymoon, returned to
Sidney Saturday night. They
drove throughout the entire trip
overland in the car Mr.. Turner
purchased while attending the
auto show in the Twin Cities.
Joy makers who had planned on
meeting the couple at Crane and
escorting them to Sidney were
disappointed. A warm reception
it is understood, awaited the
honeymooners. Mr.. Turner says
that on the trip home they were
compelled to drive though muddy
roads and that it rained all the
first day, but they covered three
hundred miles. They enjoyed their
tour among the beautiful lakes in
and Wisconsin, but are
glad to get back to Montana.
