Berg, Swedish Luthern minister, of Wausa, performed the ceremony that made them man and wife. Miss Ana Haarhues, Mr. Otto Bentley, Miss Dora Behrend and Mr. Henry Haarhues acted as best ladies and gentlemen.       The bride was dressed in a white net lace, which was very becoming. the groom wore the conventional black and seemed very well pleased with the outlook for the future.       Miss Haarhues was dressed in a cream susine silk, Miss Behrend wore a cream silk voile.       Lilly of the valley was the wedding flower.       At the appointed hour Miss Anna Black played the wedding march and amid the melodious tones of the organ the happy couple made their appearance in the presance* of their expectant and happy guests where the ceremony was performed.       After congratulations the guests led by the newly wedded pair, repaired to the dining room where greeted with a table loaded with palatable refreshments, served in two courses and to which all did ample justice.       Mr. and Mrs. Haarhues were the recipients of many nice and valued presents, a few of which we mention below: Fruit basket from Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Paulson, toilet set from Mr. and Mrs. N. O. Peterson and son and Mr. and Mrs. Jena Larsen, lamp from Mrs. Behrend and family, berry spoon from Mr. and Mrs. Burch, pitcher from Malvin Jones dish from Geneva and Anna Black, dish from N. E.

January 12, 1910 There was quite a bit of excitement among our citizens Monday morning over the discovery of two strangers in town Sunday night. It seems that a few of our citizens were out a bit late Sunday night and on their return home they discovered a light in the topmost part of the Saunders Westrand elevator, which caused them to give alarm which was responded to by our worthy marshal who at once started an investigation which resulted in the finding of a man near a box car which was loaded with corn, upon being questioned by the marshal he said he had walked across the county from McLean to catch the morning train her for Omaha, he was piloted out of town by our officers and requested not to return again, but when Agent Crinklaw opened up the depot Monday mo[r]ning he was somewhat surprised to find it occupied by a man answering the discription* of the one just mentioned who bought a ticket for Omaha. His pack consisted of a pair of blankets, a ladies shawl and other items of wearing apparel. Next morning after the excitement had somewhat subsided an investigation was made by the elevator agent, R. E. Jones, and a drill, a mask and a few January 13, page "2" col 3 loaded gun shells were found between the oat house and elevator. The second man was not found if there was one and we have not talked with anyone who saw the second man. We are under the impression that such fellows, heretofore have been too liniently* de[a]lt with. We feel confident that if this party had been found under the same conditions in any of our larger cities he would have to do a little time behind the bars, instead of being shown out of the corporate limits of the village and given another box car chance.

They also arrived in due time and remained over night and left on the morning train, disturbing no one. The reports from Magnet are that while there the night before they attempted to rob the post office and as the marshal was approaching he was accosted by one of them, pointing a revolver at him and telling him to go straight home.

There are thousands of bushels of corn in the fields yet and the farmers are getting pretty uneasy about it. Spring is coming on, help is scarce, and the indications are that there will be a greater per cent of corn planted in this community than ever before from the simple fact that this corn cannot be gathered in time for small grain, and at present prices it will not do to leave it in the fields and sow oats on the ground, the farmer will have to pick the corn then list corn into the ground again, then it may be late but it wont do to let the ground lay idle for at least one year.
