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.

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
