Wild Dash For A Honeymoon Nipped At Ollie
Says Meeting of American Legion Officials Was Helpful to the Soldier Boys
Got A Glimpse of High Life at Washington Saw Much of Interest

Monday night Charles Sheppard and Miss Dessa Prouty, both of Ollie, sought to be married quietly at the Prouty home and then ' themselves away to Baker and eastern points on the honeymoon before any of their friends knew of the affair.
But even Cupid gets his wires crossed and from unexpected sources secrets are given to the world. So in this case, when Joe Greiner of this city, and his wife received an imperious summons to come to the Prouty home without fail Monday night they hastened down by auto expecting to find some of their relatives sick, they found instead a pair of 'turtle doves' cooing and waiting for the preacher to say the words that would permit them to take autos and depart for Baker on the honeymoon before the 'gang' knew what had happened.
Like the wicked cuss that he is, Joe slipped out and passed the word as to what was going on, with the result that a dance then in progress, was stopped and a bunch went over to the Prouty home, tied up the autos and soon after the Rev. Thayer had said the 'fatal words,' seized the bride and groom, conveyed them to the dance and had them start in married life, first with a two-step and then a one-step, so that the rosy morn was streaking the eastern sky when the lassoed autos were released and the happy couple wended their way toward the town through which the Milwaukee road meanders toward the haleyon bliss of newly married life for the Sheppards in an eastern paradise.
The moral of this tale being that it is a dull night when you catch Joe Greiner and the Ollie bunch asleep.

Two Died In Holthe Farm Home Fire
Jacob Knops Burned in Building Mrs. Holthe Dies of Her Injuries
Baby Born To Dying Woman
Mr. Holthe and Brother-in-Law Barely Escape With Their Lives

The farm home of Harold Holthe, four miles east of Sentinel Butte, was burned early last Friday morning, Jacob Knoph, an uncle of Mr. Holthe, being burned to death, and Mrs. Holthe dying Monday as a result of burns received. Mr. Holthe was also badly burned in saving his baby, which he rescued by throwing it from a window into a snow bank. Mr. Knoph was 74 years old and too feeble to escape from the fire, which had engulfed the house when discovered. The cause of the fire is unknown. The saddest outcome of this dreadful event is the fact that Mrs. Holthe gave birth to a baby shortly before she died, but the infant soon followed the mother. When the fire was discovered the kitchen was a mass of flames, and as the door through the kitchen was the only means of escape for the inmates of the house, Mr. Holthe jumped from a window and beat down the door with an ax, and it was through this Mrs. Holthe and a young brother were taken by Mr. Holthe, all three being badly burned in passing through the flames in the kitchen, as they only had on their night clothes. Putting the wife and baby and boy in the granary, Mr. Holthe walked half a mile through the snow, barefooted and in only his night apparel, for aid, which was promptly given and the family taken to Sentinel Butte where everything possible was done for the injured people. The survivors are recovering, though seriously burned. Mrs. Holthe and baby and Mr. Knoph were buried from the Sentinel Butte church Thursday, amid a host of sympathetic and sorrowing friends.

Late Saturday night word was received from Dr. Jerr of Alma, that Mrs. Ortner had taken suddenly ill and died, which, no doubt, meant heart trouble developing from a lightning stroke which Mrs. Ortner received some years ago, and which also affected her eyesight. Mr. Ortner left Sunday for Alma to take care of the remains, which no doubt, will be taken to Galesburg and be laid to rest near her old home.

Death of Adolph Attletweed Shock To Friends
Sick But Eight Days With Influenza, Followed by the Dread Pneumonia
Died Early Monday Morning
Leaves Many Devoted Friends to Mourn

The community was shocked last Monday morning to learn that the grim reaper had claimed Adolph K. Attletweed during the night. Eight days before Mr. Attletweed left the bank complaining of an attack of the influenza, but through the week, while he was reported as being a very sick man, no one believed the end to be so near, and his many friends hoped for his speedy recovery. But grim pneumonia had seized him for its own, and all that skilled medical attendance could do prevailed not against the attack, and the sufferer passed quietly away at about 2:10 Monday morning. Mr. Attletweed was born at Decorah, Iowa, April 23, 1889, and passed his boyhood and early manhood there. He came to Beach six years ago and entered the employ of the First National Bank as assistant cashier, and became cashier in February, 1919. In this position he made a friend of every patron of the bank, and his familiar face, genial smile and courteous manner will be missed by these as they go to the cashier's window in the course of business. Last July Mr. Attletweed was married at Decorah to Miss Grace Lomen, one of the charming young women of that place, and who as a resident of this city, has also gained many warm friends, whose sincere sympathy goes out to her in this dark hour. In addition to the wife, deceased leaves his mother, who resides here, two brothers and two sisters: O. C. and George Attletweed, and Mrs. Oscar Heller of this city, and Mrs. H. E. Bualson of Silvana, Washington. The funeral is being held today from the home of the deceased, interment being in the Lutheran cemetery of this city. Adolph Attletweed was a most likeable man. Of high moral character and of splendid intellectual powers, he was of the kind that make good, substantial citizens. He had a strong community interest in local affairs and was numbered among those who stood for the best and for the development of the city and country along business lines that stand for progress and substantial growth. In his home life he was a devoted son and husband and brother, and domestic interests appealed to him strongly. His untimely taking off is a matter of general regret for it is not believed he had an enemy, while his friends were counted by all who knew him.

Six Persons Frozen To Death In Monday Storm
Three Tragedies Present Stories of Sacrifice to Save Lives of Others
Boy and Girl and Indian Mother Died For Their Loved Ones

Five children and one woman are reported so far as victims of Monday's storm in this state. Near Ryder the four boys of Gus Wohlka left school Monday afternoon in a wagon for home, but became lost in the storm. After wrapping the younger boys in what robes they had, the oldest boy went for help, but soon got lost and, with the other boys, was found frozen the next day. Near Center, Oliver county, Hazel Miner, an 18-year-old heroine, perished in the storm while seeking aid for her two brothers aged 11 and 8 years. These children, too, had been at school and started home in a wagon, but soon became lost in the storm, and it was then that the brave girl covered up her brothers, even sacrificing her own coat, and went in search of aid, only to be found the next day frozen to death not far from her home. The father of these children had gone to the school on horseback to make sure they got home safely, and had put them in the wagon and then went back to the shed for his horse. When he returned to the front of the school the rig was gone, and supposing the children had started for home, followed after them, but could not trace them anywhere. He aroused the neighbors and forty men scoured the neighborhood of the school all Monday night, but it was not until Tuesday afternoon the rig was found overturned with the two children still alive, but with faces and hands frozen. Later the daring sister was found as she had fallen exhausted in her struggle against the storm, dead. The sixth death was that of an Indian woman near Devils Lake, who had started home in a wagon with her three-year-old son. The team became exhausted. The child was found alive, wrapped in the mother's clothing, while the mother perished. Means of communication all over the state are wrecked and it may be that other tales of tragedies like these will come in as communication is reestablished.

Birthdays Celebrated By North Side bunch
Two Young Ladies Cause Joint Observation of Event and a Double Feast.
Their Friends In the Fullness of Things, Rejoice and Congratulate

The Nutter house on the north side was a scene of great festivity Monday evening, the occasion being the celebration of the birthdays of the Misses Grace DeLong and Vera Banker, of the high school faculty. Three big cakes 'all lit up' with candles graced the table in front of the young lady celebrants, two being the gift of the Misses Nutter and one from the mother of Miss DeLong. But while the cakes were the 'cynosure of all eyes,' the flow of congratulations, and other things, made the occasion marked for its 'intelligencia,' sparkling wit, and things like that. None of the guests were so impolite as to count the candles, but suffice it to say they made a brilliant illumination in which the honored guests looked most charming. Tom Scott won the piece of cake containing the 'diamond ring,' and therefore is doomed to join the ranks of the Benedicts at an early date, while, strange fate, Miss Banker nearly swallowed the button in her piece of cake, which betokened a continuous maidenhood, in spite of all signs to the contrary. In behalf of the assembled 'regulars' 'Dad' Dawson blessed the happy day - and cake - and in choice American Legion diction thanked the thoughtfulness of Mrs. DeLong for her contribution, while R. M. Lewis as he helped himself to another piece of cake, wished the young ladies many returns of the day. Several important announcements of approaching birthdays on the part of members of the company were well received by all, but the landladies, and George McClellan was so filled with the goodness of the occasion that he advanced by several months the date of his arrival on the earth only to be shown up as a grafter by Judge Halliday. Some of the bachelors present, having in view the high cost of living, deprecated the use of candles on the cake when it came their turn to celebrate, but 'Pa' Clagget averred that was not a good reason, and vouchsafed the information that he would not blush for the necessary candles, if he only got the cake.

Howard Loebe Instantly Killed by Lightning Bolt
George Loebe Knocked Senseless
Revives to Find Brother Dead Near By

The community was shocked Tuesday afternoon to learn that Howard Loebe, a young brother of George Loebe, had been killed by lightning while working in the field during the thunder storm of that day. Young Loebe was between 16 and 17 years old, and came out from Delaware only a few weeks ago to work on the farm with his brother, and during that short time had made friends of all who knew him. It appears that George Loebe and his brother were using a large drag to which two teams were attached when the storm came up, but wishing to finish the field, kept on in spite of the storm, each driving one of the teams. There was a blinding flash, and the next thing George Loebe knew he was lying on the ground and the teams had disappeared, except one horse, from which harness had been ripped by the lightning, but which otherwise was uninjured. Mr. Loebe found that he was badly stunned, being unable to use one arm, and his whole side being numb. Seeing his brother lying on the ground near by, he called to him, but getting no response, crawled to his side, only to find he was dead, the bolt of lightning having struck him on the side of his head and passing through his body, and ripping his shoes to pieces, entered the ground. Although badly crippled George Loebe managed to shoulder the dead brother and started for the house, but fainted on the way. Regaining consciousness, he managed to get the body to the house and summon aid by phone, and he and the body of his brother were brought to town, where 'Slim' spent a day in bed, although the use of his arm has been practically restored and he is not suffering any serious effects of the tremendous shock he received. One of the peculiarities of the attack of the lightning was that although it killed the boy and took the harness from one of the horses, and the others ran off, none of the animals appear to be injured in any way. The remains of Howard Leobe were taken to Delaware, Thursday by his brother George and will be placed in the old home cemetery.

Nick Volck Ends Life With Knife
Crawls Under Lloyd Elevator and Nearly Severs Head With Huge Knife
Has Long Been Despondent and Had Threatened His Own Life Frequently

With his throat cut from ear to ear Nick Volck, assistant cook for the telegraph line crew of the Northern Pacific Railway company, was found dead at 8:30 yesterday morning under the Lloyd elevator in this city. A fourteen-inch butcher knife at his side showed plainly that it was suicide. Mrs. Volck is the cook for the telegraph crew, and her husband was her helper, both having joined the crew but three days ago. 'For a long time back, ever since we were married 12 years ago, ' said Mrs. Volck to The Advance, 'my husband has been extremely nervous, and this has grown upon him until he has frequently threatened suicide because we could not get along very will in a financial way and it seemed to worry him that I had to work so hard, while he was unable to do much work. 'He was very nervous and uneasy last night when we went to bed, but, being very tired, I fell asleep and never awoke until the usual time to get up. My husband fussed around helping me get the breakfast on the table for the men and then went out. When he did not show up by 9 o'clock, and remembering that he had said on Wednesday that he wished he could drown himself, I became uneasy and went in search of him, finally looking under the elevator which is quite high above the ground. There I found him, asleep, as I supposed, until I tried to waken him, and then saw what he had done. I can account for the deed in no other way except that he had been gradually losing his mind and was crazy when he did it.' The body was removed to the morgue and an inquest held at which a verdict of suicide was brought in. The Volcks are from Chicago, to which place the body will be taken by Mrs. Volck, who will be helped in this by the railroad company and friends as she was left without funds. Mr. Volck was 39 years old and had no children.

Dr. R. W. Stough Dies Suddenly At Bismarck
Beloved Doctor and Citizen Succumbs to Paralysis and Blood Poisoning

The community was shocked last Sunday morning when news came from Bismarck that Dr. R. W. Stough of this city had passed away at a hospital there that morning, for while many knew that he had gone to get expert treatment, few realized the seriousness of his complaint and none expected a fatality. The cause of death was paralysis. This was brought about through a bruise to Dr. Stough's nose received when he struck something in diving while bathing at Yellowstone Park, in a stream there some three of four weeks ago. This bruise would not respond to local treatment and blood poisoning set in, communicating with the base of the brain and causing paralysis of almost the entire body. The news of his death had followed word that he was improving and could move parts of his body, so the hopeful friends were all the more shocked when the dread telegram telling of his death arrived. His family went at once to Bismarck and took the body to the doctor's old home in Ohio, where he was buried amidst the scenes of his boyhood. Dr. Stough graduated at the University of Illinois in 1905 and came to Beach soon after, where he built up a lucrative practice and a host of friends who deeply mourn his untimely taking off. He was a man of great geniality, of signal ability in his professions, and before this ailment appeared to be a man of perfect physical manhood. He leaves a wife and three children to whom the sympathy of the entire county is extended, for few were better or more favorably known than he.

While the 'boys' suspected the sheriff of some such proceeding, that official kept them in the dark as to the time and place of the marriage, but they will forgive him and wish him and his bride a happy married life and all the joys of prosperity.

Margaret Tucker Dies At Bismarck Hospital
Popular Young Woman Passes In Prime Of Life After Brief Illness

Wednesday morning the people of the community were shocked to learn that Margaret Tucker, one of the well known young ladies of the county had passed away during the night at a Bismarck hospital. It had been known that she was critically ill with typhoid fever, but hope had been entertained that she would be spared. The body was taken to Black River Falls and buried by the side of her father, the remains being accompanied by her mother, her step-father, Edward Sommers, brother Floyd Tucker, and Urban Theisen. The funeral will be tomorrow. Margaret Tucker was born at Melrose, Wis., September 10, 1902, and was consequently but 18 years old, and in the prime of young womanhood. She came here 13 years ago with her father and mother, the father dying soon after, and later her mother married Mr. Sommers. She was a member of the graduating class of the local high school last spring and her mental talents and genial disposition gave promise of a life of much usefulness. Of a happy disposition, she made and held many friends, all of whom are grieving over her loss and paying tribute to her many worthy qualities. After her graduation she became employed at Jamestown and was progressing finely when sickness overtook her in a malignant form. Her mother and stepfather hastened to her side and at once had her removed to the hospital at Bismarck, where the best of medical care proved unavailing against the insidious disease, and she passed away at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, sorrowing relatives being with her to the last. She is survived by her mother, step-
father, one brother, Loyd (sic) Tucker, three half brothers and a half sister.

Holmes Boy Meets Death While Riding Faithful Horse

Roland Holmes met his death while riding after the cattle Friday night, September 24th, about 7 p.m. He was thrown from his horse and was unconscious from the time of the accident until his death, two days later. He was alone, only the dog as a companion, and when he did not return home as usual, search was made and the searchers first found his dog, who was guarding over the unconscious boy, who had been lying there three hours. He was immediately taken home and Dr. Jameson summoned, who pronounced concussion of the brain as the ailment and stated there was little or no hope. The boy never regained consciousness and passed away at 12:24 noon, Sunday, September 26th. Roland Holmes was born at Suring, Wisconsin, November 17, 1906, and came to this county with his folks, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Holmes, when he was still an infant. He died at 12:24 p.m. Sunday, September 26th, at his home north of Sentinel Butte, and was buried Tuesday September 23, 1920. The Norwegian Lutheran minister of Beach officiated with a short ceremony at the church and at the Congregational cemetery, where the body was laid to rest. He leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Holmes, two sisters, Mildred and Myrtle, who are in Hoquiam, Wash., three brothers, Chester and Richard in Washington, and Robert of Sentinel Butte. Also grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Gruley of Sentinel Butte. Although the lad was but 13 years of age he had many friends, both old and young, who grieve his death and extend sympathy to those bereaved.

Obituary

Our community was hit pretty hard Saturday when we lost two of our most esteemed citizens, in the persons of Henry Stager and George Shoen. Mr. Stager died from heart failure and Mr. Shoen was accidently killed in the Rocky Butte Coal Mine. George Shoen came here from South Dakota about a year ago and he and Mrs. Shoen made their home in Golva. Mr. Shoen went to his son's Ed's farm to help him for a few days and went to the Rocky Butte coal mine after a load of coal for his son. Mr. Shoen, Peterson, Frank Randarh (sic) and the Hess boys were loading wagons when Mr. Hess happened to hear a noise. He looked up and saw the hill starting to slide and called to the men to run. Mr. Shoen being lame, could not go very fast and was caught and buried under about fifty tons of earth. Mr. Randush (sic) was also caught in the slide but was not hurt very badly. When Mr. Shoen was dug out he was dead, the back of his head having been crushed by a falling rock. He was 51 years old at the time of his death and was killed on his thirty-third wedding anniversary. He leaves an aged wife and three sons to mourn the loss of a kind father and loving husband. His sons are Edward and Regenold of Golva, and Earl of Aberdeen, S.D. His remains were shipped to Aberdeen for interment Monday. Although among us but a short time he had gained the love and esteem of a host of neighbors and friends who will miss his kindly smile and we all join in extending our deepest sympathy to the bereaved family. Henry Stager was a bachelor, about sixty years old and came to the Golden Valley about sixteen years ago, taking a homestead near Five Points, where he made his home until the time of his death. Friday evening he motored to Beach to hear Mr. Langer speak and on his way home his car broke down and he had to leave it. Saturday morning he hitched up a team and started after his car, taking Ralph Hannifen with him. When they were about half a mile from home Mr. Stager dropped the lines, he having been driving, and fell over against Ralph. As soon as Ralph could quiet the horses which had started to run, he raised Mr. Stager's head and found he was dead. Mr. Stager is survived by two brothers and two sisters. He brothers are, William, of Golva, and Martin, who used to live here but now is living in South Dakota. Both of his sisters are residents of Iowa. One of his sisters and her husband came to attend his funeral. He was laid to rest Tuesday in St. Mary's cemetery at Burkey.

Henry Stager Dies Suddenly On Farm
Stricken With Heart Failure While Driving Team in Lone Tree Township

While working on his farm at Five Points, in Lone Tree Township, Friday morning, Henry Stager, 55 years old, died of heart failure and the funeral was held at the farm Tuesday, a large concourse of friends attending. It appears from what can be learned of the sad event, that Mr. Stager was driving from one part of the farm to another with his man, when he suddenly fell over and had to be supported by the man to keep him from falling out of the wagon, while the vehicle was driven to the farm house, where it was found he was dead. Mr. Stager was born in Iowa and moved to this county some years ago. He was a bachelor, and leaves a brother, William, a near neighbor, and a sister who lives at Driscoll, N.D. (sic), who came up to the funeral. He was well and favorably known in his neighborhood.

George M. Shoen Is Killen In Coal Mine
Other Men Have Narrow Escape
Shoen Caught In Big Cave-In

The Ike Corilan coal mine in the south central part of the county was the scene of a fatality Friday afternoon when George M. Shoen met his death from a cave-in. It appears a number of farmers were getting out coal when the cave-in occurred, but all escaped save Mr. Shoen, who was caught by a large slide of coal and earth, and died before he could be rescued by the other men who worked with desperation to dig him out in time to save his life. Mr. Shoen was 58 years old and resided in the neighborhood where he has farmed for a number of years. He leaves a wife and four grown children to mourn his untimely taking off. He was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was born in New York state and came to this county some years ago and engaged in farming. He was a member of the Old Fellows, Workmen and Woodmen, and the funeral will be held under the auspices of the Odd Fellows at Dell Rapids, S.D., to which place the body was taken Monday.

Fred Drew Shoots Himself Through Heart With Gun

The community was shocked Tuesday morning when it was learned that Fred Drews, 40 years old, and a prosperous farmer living eight and a half miles southwest of Beach, had committed suicide by shooting himself through the heart early that day, with a sawed off shotgun. According to Mrs. Drews, her husband got up complaining that he had not slept well because of stomach pains with which he had been troubled for some time past, and would not eat any breakfast. He then went out to the cow barn and shortly afterwards Mrs. Drews heard the explosion of a gun and went to the barn to see about it only to find her husband dead upon a pile of straw in the cow barn with the gun beside him. Dr. Maercklain was summoned, but it was plain death must have been instantaneous, as there was a gaping hole through his side just over the heart. One of the singular things about the suicide is that Mr. Drews must have contemplated this means of death for a least a week, for about that time ago he brought home some hack saws, and these, together with a saw blade holder, were found, with the sawed off barrels of the gun in a wagon near the barn. The shotgun had no stock, so what was left of it made it easy to handle for the purpose evidently intended. Mr. Drews has resided on his farm for a number of years and was counted as a very prosperous farmer in every way, out of debt and very happy in his domestic relations, therefore no one can conceive what prompted his insane deed. Mrs. Drews has not been well for some time and only last week returned to her home from the hospital, and this blow has prostrated her, but fortunately there were others at the farm to aid her in the dire tragedy at the time it occurred. The deceased was well known in Beach and was a man who made and held many friends. Of a genial disposition and devoted to his wife, it would have seemed, was not a life as would have prompted such a sad ending, and a number of friends are convinced, from some peculiar actions of his recently, that his mind must have been affected. Mr. Drews leaves a wife and one sister, Mrs. Buidhaupt, to whom the sympathy of a wide circle of friends is extended.

Madge Honnold Formerly of Carlyle Married

One of the weddings of recent date and one that will prove of local interest, was that of Miss Madge Honnold, who became the bride of Mr. Harry Raymond Hinkley of Portland, Ore., on Monday, October 11th.

He recently returned from a cruise to San Salvador on the Destroyer Talbot of the U.S. Navy, in which he is now held in reserve. The bride was gowned in ivory taffeta, and carried a large bouquet of bride's roses. Her veil was held in place by orange blossoms and her one ornament was pearls, wedding gift of the groom. She was attended by Mrs. Guy Bloomquist as matron of honor and Miss Esther Hersch acted as bridesmaid. Mr. Guy Bloomquist attended the groom as best man. Bridesmaid and matron of honor were gowned in pastel shades of Georgette crepe and both carried pale pink carnations. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Laura Honnold, who was assisted by her sister, Mrs. J. L. Johnson, of Grant's Pass, Oregon. The former was attired in rose colored taffeta and the latter in gray satin. Both wore corsage bouquets of rose barvardia. The ring ceremony was used, Rev. Ira Hawley, formerly of Beach, N.D. officiating. About thirty chosen friends of the bride and her mother witnessed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Hinkley will continue their residence in Portland, Ore.

E. E. Mikkelson Highly Esteemed Pioneer Dies
One of the Best Citizens of this County Passes After Well Spent Life
A Man of Sterling Worth, of Many Generous Deeds and Dependence is Mourned

The community was shocked Monday to learn of the death of E. E. Mikkelson at a hospital that morning, from cancer of the stomach, an insidious disease from which he had been suffering for more than two years, but unaware until he went to the hospital, of its deadly nature. Mrs. Mikkelson was at his bedside when the dread messenger came, having been summoned to the hospital about two weeks ago. The remains were taken to Mr. Mikkelson's old home at Louisburg, Minn., Tuesday and the funeral was probably held yesterday. Mr. Mikkelson was born in LacPuiParle county, Minn., 59 years ago and grew to manhood there. He taught school for a time, then married and came to Dakota territory, 39 years ago, where for some years he drove the stage between Bismarck and the Black Hills, a task that required skill and bravery, for the route was infested with Indians and stage hands had many brushes with the reds during those strenuous years. After the railroad reached the Hills and the stage was withdrawn, Mr. Mikkelson came west and settled as a rancher where Mikkelson post office now is, and during those early years met and became a friend of Theodore Roosevelt, the Marquis deMores and all the old times of these parts. He came to Beach in 1906 and bought the farm home on the edge of the city, where he was since lived. He was a prime mover in the organization of the Golden Valley bank, and in 1909 transferred his interests as an organizer of the First National bank, of which he was a director until the time of his death. For the past two years he has been chief deputy sheriff under Sheriff Pierzina, where he performed his duties with that faithfulness that characterized all his work in life. He also served as a member of the city council, his constituency retaining him in this position for several terms and was still serving them at time of death. Mr. Mikkelson was typical of the old style frontiersman: Not given to much talk, keen in judgment, quick to act, and act with decision as occasion arose, of a kindly heart that strove to hide its generosity and in every way a real man who will be keenly missed and mourned by those who had come to know him in his real self. In every way a good citizen, although one of the most quiet and unobtrusive, his death is a distinct loss to the community, as no citizen was more respected, and now that he is gone his praises are in every mouth. Mr. Mikkelson had no children and few relatives, we understand, he leaving but his widow and one brother who lives, we are informed, in Minnesota. Between the hours of 2 and 3 p.m. today all business was suspended in the city out of respect to the memory of Mr. Mikkelson, that hour being the hour of the funeral in Minnesota. The business men of the city are represented at the funeral by a large floral offering as a mute token of the high esteem in which the departed friend and neighbor was held by his home people.

Three Members Of High Faculty Are Married
Miss Gronvold and Messers Strand and Stanley Celebrate the Holiday Period

When they left here last Friday to spend the holidays elsewhere, it was understood among their intimates that Selmar Strand, manual training teacher, and Miss Marie Gronvold, first grade teacher in the Lincoln school, were to be married Wednesday of this week at Leeds, the home of the bride to be. It was further understood that on Tuesday of this week D. V. Stanley, the agricultural teacher of the High school, was to lead to the altar a Minneapolis girl, but as yet no confirmatory word of these happy events has reached the city. In view of these things, it is plain the Beach schools must have a matrimonial department as well as other up-to-date features. It is understood the two pair of newlyweds will occupy the Harry Wall house on the north side where the two Benedicts have been practicing at light housekeeping for some time, and were doubtless driven to matrimony by their sad experience.
