Evidently Ben Pageler has not nor intends returning to Idaho, as he writes to have the Northwestern changed from his Idaho address to Cedar Bluffs, this state, his home before he came to Loup City.

Pilger on Monday of this week disposed of his fine town prop erty to Jos. Daddow, not giving po ssession till the first of September. Mr. Pilger had one of the finest resi dence properties in the city. Mr. | Daddow expects to move to town this fall, we understand, and become a resident of the city. Mr. Pilger will leave this fall with his family for either Idaho or Montana, he is undecided which. As he has been a resident of Loup City for the past 34 years he and his good family are an integral figure in the history of our town and will be greatly missed when they tear themselves away from old associations. Grandpa Tom Caddy was in lawn the other day with such an ecstatic smile on his face that we could not pass without asking why this thusly and he looked scornfully at us for ex posing our ignorance of the fact that he was now most emphatically labelled “grandpa.” as a fine baby ; boy arrived last Thursday, April 11, j at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.

HYMENEAL Hendrickson-Burrowes Monday evening of this week. April 15, 1912. at 8 p. ra. Mr. R. D. Hend rickson and Mrs. Katie Burrowes were united in the bonds of matri mony by bis honor. County Judge E. A. Smith, at the residence of the bride in East Loup City, the couple immediately thereafter going to the groom’s farm in Webster township, where they will make their home, we understand. While the marriage of this worthy couple lias been expected for sbme time, yet came as a surprise in that no annoucementof their in tentions was given tiieir friends in advance. Mr. Hendrickson lias been a resident of Snerman countv for near a quarter of a century, and has been honored in the past with the office of sheriff and county superin tendent of schools for a number years in all of which lie made good, and probably by his friendly ways and hearty good fellowship is one of the best liked man in the county. The bride has also lived here for many years, is a prime favorite with all who are favored with her friendship and acquaintance, and universally esteemed by all. The Northwestern, with the hosts of friends of both bride and groom, will follow them with best wishes for their future suc cess and happiness. Rossa-Bartunek At St. Joseph church Tuesday morning, April 16, 1912. occured the nuptials of Frank A. Rossa of Oak Creek township and Miss Anna Bar tunek. the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Bartunek of this city. The ceremoney was held at 8 o'clock in the morning before a num ber of near relatives and friends of the happy couple. The bride is a bright, attractive girl and is one of Sherman county's successful teachers The groom is one of the enterprising young farners of his section of the country. We understand they will make their home in Oak Creek town ship, where the groom will eugage in farming. May kind fortune follow them all along the pathway of life. Razin-Hellebrant Married. Tuesday. April 16, 1912, at the county judge's office, his honor tying the nfcptial knot, Mr. Frank J. llellebrant and Miss Rosie May Razin both of Bristol township, thiscounty. Brammer-Kuticka At the county judge's office. Tues day, April 16th, 1912. his genial judg ship united in wedlock Mr. Fred R. Brammet and Miss Mollie Kuticka, the contracting parties being from Bristol township. The lack of gasoline, causing a dead auto, wos the not funny luck that happened to a couple of our hand some bachelors last Sunday evening. They were spinning along some eight or ten miles north of this city when their horseless carriage refused to budge further and no amount of coaxing could make the blarsted thing go. Examination of the vari ous joints in the animal's make-up disclosed it was short of feed, hence the balk. After trying at the differ ent farm houses for sufficient lene-o gas to put the four-wheeled thing in good humor ana withoutsuceess. they were compelled to put op with a far mer for the night and next morning send to town for sufficient speed stuff to get home: It is unnecessary to tell who the rig is on, or who were ■ on the rig. as every one is next. A message over the phone in the morn ing cancelled all dental work for the forenoon, while no prescriptions were forthcoming for the sick from another quarter for the same period. Editor of the Northwestern:— I notice that Mr. Welty, acting, as I understand, under the direction of J. S. Pedler. has published a statement in your paper, and in the Sherman County Times-Independent, purport ing to contain a copy of the order of the county board touchng the ap pointment of a county judge to act during 3 udge Smith’s absence from the county. This statement, while appearing to be fair upon its face, is really misleading to the public. Both of these men now know that Mr. Welty appointed J. S. Pedler county judge without any authority of law. as the statute plainly shows', and that J. S. Pedler exercised the functions and powers of the county judge without any authority of law. The statute authorises the county board to make the appointment and does not give them any authority to dele gate or turn over their powers to J. H. Welty or any other person. The order of the county board is therefore absolutely without jursdiction, and is void. If the county board can au thorize J. H. Welty to make this ap pointment. then at the same meeting they could have authorized him to transact all the business of the county during the present year, and so have relieved themselves' from the labor of attending to the public busi ness themselves. Of course every citizen, alhough he may not be a law yer, know that, the county board can not do this. I am personally satisfied in may own mind, that the members of the county board acted innocently and in perfect good faith when they made this void order. It was doubt less done in haste and without due consideration. However. J. H. Welty was certainly not a very careful officer in Assuming to make this appoint ment without first consulting the county attorney. If he had consult ed him. the county attorney would have advised him correctly.' As a matter of fact, the county ' attorney was the first person who discovered that J. S. Pedler was unlawfully ex ercising the powers of the county judge, and he refused to bring an\ criminal procedings before him. As for J. S. Pedler, himself, then is no excuse whatever for ids conduct He was county attorney for fouryean and ought to know the law. and 'if, ir so simple a matter as this, he does not know the law, he surely ought not to ask the people of this' county to elect him as their county attorney because he will have much'more diffl cult legal questions to determine it connection with the duties of th< office than the a Death of Will Betts Last Thursday afternoon. April 11, 1912. occured the funetalof Will Betta whose death at Litchfield was given to the Northwestern last week. The body was broughtover from Litchfield that day in charge of - the Odd Fel-' lows, under whose auspices the fu- i neral was held. The services were conducted by Rev. Tourtellot and the body was laid to rest in our cemetery by the side of his mother,' who was buried just two weeks previous. William Ernest Betts was bom at North Wolcott. N. Y.. April 18, 1976, and with his parents moved to Sher man county. Nebraska, in 1881. set tling on a farm about four miles south of Loup City, where they lived until he had grown to manhood. For sev eral years he resided in Loup Citv and about four years ago he moved to Litchfield and became manager of the Sherman County Telephone Co.'a exchange at that place, which he held until his death. August 12. 1909 Mr. Betts was united in marriage to Miss Ida Benson of Litchfield, who still survives him, together with two brothers living near Litchfield and two sisters, one living in New York and one in St. Louis. Monday afternoon the Halcyon club was entertained by Mrs. Ver Valin, when a fine program was given, in charge of Mrs. E. B. Mather. The program was of an Easter character and consisted of Easter stories and poems and a story of the Easter egg origin. Another feature was the New York Easter parade, which char acterized the dress parade affair given in New York City. The hostess served some fine refreshments. The club will nest be entertained by Mrs. E. R. Storer. The members of the Halcyon club and their husbands arranged a sur prise party in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Ver Valin, who expect to leave shortly for their new home at Loup City Neb. The affair was held on Friday even ing of last week. The evening was spent in many social ways that brought pleasure to all. The club members showed their deep appre ciation of the efforts of Mrs. Ver Valin to make the club work a suc cess by presenting her with a souve nir spoon. The ladies brought along a good supply of refreshments and at a seasonable hour these were served. On taking their departure many kind expressions were made over the departure of the family.— Mitchell, j [S. D.] Daily Republican. Public Notice. Porte Jones, No. 4033:.’.
