KOCH IIAK1KIK Like an ancient gentleman , of whom we read in Holy Writ , your correspondent was wandering to and fro up and dow& in the earthen on last Wednesday , June 29th , 1910. From a- hilltop near McKinley postoffice his eye light ed on a curious scene , Joe Hacfele's house surrounded by horses and buggies , seemingly without number and decorated on the south side by a big red tour ing car. Of course the corre spondent of this invaluable journ al drew nigh. Inquiry brought out the fact that a high noon wedding was about to be cele brated , and the delicious odors from Mrs. Ilaefele's kitchen spoke of so many good things to follow that "ye scribe" could not resist the temptation to stay and jot uown tuc toiiowing : The fortunate young man was Jacob Koch , a prosperous young farmer of Merua , and the pretty little bride was Miss Elizabeth Grace Haefcle , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Haefele. The attendants were Miss Carrie Koch snd Clayton Yohn. Miss Bertha Barrett of Broken Bow played the beautiful wedding march , and Rev. C. P. Netherly of Cal- laway tied the golden knot. The features of especial inter est in connection with this happy event -might be summed up as follows : It was the request of the interested young people that not only the ring ceremony be used but that the solemn , splend id and elaborate Episcopal form be followed. This grand ritual is used by all ministers upon re quest and is one of the , longest dnd most beautiful wedding ceremonials known to the Prot estant church. The bride was given away by her father in a very neat little speech. In point of attendance this was one of the largest wed dings in the county this year , there being ninety-six guests counted at the great wedding banquet that followed the nup tials. With the exception of three 01 four families these guests were all related. It being in fact , a kind of family reunion. The dinner was followed by a great ball game , participated in by nearly all the gentlemen pres ent. In this exciting game , the lion , Joseph Ilaefele distinguish ed himself by stopping a level with his mouth. This , of course put that useful and active mem ber of Joe's anatomy out of com mission for a few minutes. A thing which the oldest inhabit ants say never happened before.

The heat was not uxcessive , a cool breeze all day. The rain Saturday afternoon previous had dried off sufficiently so the roads were not bad and there was no dust on the streets. People began to arrive early in the morning and by ten o'clock the city was crowded with people. Numbering from 5000 to 10,000. Some say it was the largest crowd ever gathered in Broken Bow. "No wonder" re marked an observer from the outsid. "The news papers of Broken Bow advertised it liber ally. " The program as advertised was carried out to the letter. But the people were too many and too busy for all of them to see it all , It was a picnic occasion. Many brought their lunch bas kets well filled and at the noon hour squads of people by locali ties or families sought out shady nooks in various parts of the city and enjoyed their dinner together. The display of fire works con tinued up to midnight and many who were there were loth to leave for home. It was a big day for' Broken Bow and a good time for all who attended.
