The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Gust Nystrom was the scene of a wedding last Wednesday when their eldest daughter, Emma, was married to John Blixt. Both of these young people have been born and raised in our town and who have in every person they know, a friend. The wedding was attended by about two hundred guests from the country and nearby towns and the presents were too numerous to mention as nearly everything in the line of silver and glassware was seen besides furniture and a large sum of Uncle Sam's currency. The rich farmers with which Indian Lake is blessed again closed their eyes and dug deep in their pocket books to see who could outdo the others in honoring the young couple. Mr. and Mrs. Nystrom had from all appearances spared neither time or money in making the affair one of the most enjoyable that one could ever wish to attend. Flowers, decorations and attractions were perfect in every detail. When the ceremony was over almost a score of waiters were seen moving about the crowd with huge trays of nearly everything in the line of food till it seemed as if it would never stop. It was one of the biggest and most delicious dinners that has ever been our privilege to attend. In the evening a reception was given and a most enjoyable time was had by the young folks after games, music and social conversation, a bounteous supper was served, after which all departed for their homes. Mr. and Mrs. Blixt go at once with the best wishes of prosperity and happiness of their many friends, to housekeeping on Mr. Blixt's farm which is one of the best farms in the county.

Cook Pleads, "Guilty."

Judge P.E. Brown held a special term of court here Thursday forenoon giving Charles Cook a sentence of two years and four months at Stillwater for entering Moses' hardware store and stealing cutlery. Cook denied all connection with the affair until confronted by a witness named Arthur Jones whom Cook gave a razor at Prairie Junction and also wanted him to take a supply of the cutlery go to Heron Lake and trade the goods for beer which he declined to do. Sheriff Fauskee learned that such a transaction took place and after a great deal of work and time traced Jones to Fesseden, N.D., brought him here as a witness and when Cook saw Jones he wilted and pleaded guilty of the theft but said he would never have done so it Jones had not been found. Mr. Fauskee's success will do away with the calling of the grand jury on account of that case. Cook will be taken to Stillwater as soon as the papers are prepared.

Two others associated with Cook were taken back to St. James the first of the week to stand trial in that county as it is claimed they stole some of the articles from Cook.
