Jim Galloway returned from
Sioux Falls Wednesday morning
where he had been attending U.S.
court as a witness.
Michael Mone and Irvin C.
Stotts , of Cody , were in our city
Monday. Mr. Mone stopped at
our office for a brief visit.
Promises are like pie crust and
a storm often breaks an engage
ment but we fail to understand
how money would compensate a
person for unrequited love , unless
it was for monetary consideration.
Jacob Klein , of Simeon , rode in
horseback to visit our city the first
of the week. He and his wife
were in town a couple of weeks
ago , the first time in a long while
that they had come to Valentine ,
but since they have moved to the
Flineaux place , find it near enough
to come oftener.
Wm. Shelbourn called at our of
fice Tuesday while enroute to north
table land with a load of his house
hold goods from his former home
on the Snake. Mr. Shelbourn has
rented a farm of S. Moon for this
season and will put in his crop
now and move his family up next
month from the Snake.
Henry Detgen was in town Mon
day and told us that a young calf
was born on his father's place last
week with two full well developed
heads , four eyes and four ears.
The calf was dead when Mr. Det
gen discovered it. Two or three
years ago a calf was born on the
same farm having five legs.
Mr. and Mrs. O'Connor arrived
in Valentine Sunday morning from
Homer , Neb. , and expect to make
their home on the O'Connor ranch
near Chesterfield. Mrs. O'Connor
will be remembered as Miss Cora
Waters , who occupied a position
the First National bank and later
in the Valentine State bank.
Our picturesque lake is a great
resort. This was demonstrated
very strongly Sunday morningfor
at least two hundred people visit
ed the lake. Some went down for
the purpose of fishing ; others sim
ply for the walk , It is just the
right distance for a nice healthy
stroll , and people visiting our town
should not miss the chance of see
ing our beautiful lake.
Henry Clapp , of Simeon , was in
town Monday and is looking well.
Henry tells us that one of his cows
got choked a few days ago and he
took a fork handle and run it down
her throat but failed to relieve the
cow and she died. He opened the
cow's throat and found a piece of
an old stove pipe which had cut in
to the side of the gullet and which
was the cause of the cow's death.
The county judge last Wednes
day issued a marriage license to
Mastick and Myrtle Jones and
Harry Hull and Ada Kimball. He
then in the presence of of witnes
ses spoke the words which made
them man and wife. The con
tracting parties are well and fav
orably known to the people of
Ainsworth , all of whom join with
the Star-Journal in wishing them
happiness and prosperity. Ains
worth Star-Journal.
John Shelbourn and Jake Brech-
bill were in town the first of the
week shivering from their long
ride in the cold. We saw them
down to Cohota's restaurant try
ing to get on the outside of a good
hot , square meal. They had a
couple of friends with them that
we didn't know and they were too
busy just then to speak about it.
Jake wanted to crawl into the stove
as we left and we havn't heard yet
what success he had.
Benson.
The marriage of C. D. Query to
Miss Esther Benson took place in
the Episcopal church Tuesday af
ternoon at two o'clock. Only rel
atives of the two parties were
present and the affair was very
cleverly planned and carried out.
The bride was dressed in a beauti
ful gown of white silk , trimmed
in point lace , and the bridesmaid ,
Miss Julia Query , also was gown
ed in spotless white.
Mr. Query is well and favorably
known here , having been a resi
dent of Cherry county for a num
ber of years , and Miss Benson has
a friend in every home of the com
munity.
The newly wedded couple will be
gin housekeeping in a newly fur
nished home about IT miles south
of Valentine and will be at home
after May 1st. THE DEMOCRAT
extends congratulations.
Rosa Mone IJaitl to Rest.
Tuesday morning was laid to
rest the body of Mrs. Rosa Mone.
A great number of friends had
arrived at an early hour at the
residence of the deceased. Rev.
Father E. M. Perrig , S. J. of St.
Francis Mission , had been sum
moned by telegram to conduct the
funeral services. She was laid to
rest at the side of her husband ,
Henry Mone , who died 14 years
ago. The pall bearers were Mes
srs. W. H. Carter , John Bishop ,
C. Cutcomb , A. Newberry , C. B.
Lamb and Dr. E. S. Furay. The
memory of the reproachless life ,
the deep piety and charming kind
ness which endeared Mrs. Mone to
all who knew her , will remain un-
forgotten and call for many a fer
vent prayer for the repose of her
soul.

JEFF 1 > E FRANCE KILLED.
Tangled Up in a Windmill and
Strangled to Death on His
Ranch Near Ellsworth.
This sad news was wired to Al
liance Monday morning from Ells
worth. His wife feeling worried
over his unusual absence went out
to learn the cause and on coming
to the mill was greeted with the
awful sight of his dead body , tang
led up in the mill , he evidently
having been caught in some way
while oiling it.
Mr. De France was one of the
old time cattlemen , having been
with Bartlett Richards long before
civilization began settling up these
western plains as foreman of his
ranches. Last fall he organized
the De France Cattle company and
shortly afterward was married.
Among his wedding gifts was one
for § 6,000 from the Nebraska Land
and Cattle Feeding Co. , of which
Mr. Richards is president , which
Mr. Richards is president , which
is evidence of the high esteem in
which he was held. He was small
in stature but large in mental
qualities and had the reputation of
being one of the best judges of
cattle in the west. Personally he
was a most agreeable man and one
whom everyone coming in contact
with was bound to like because of
his maiily qualities. It has been a
long time since the death of any
one in this county caused a great
er shock to those acquainted with
him. Alliance Pioneer Grip.
