At Spencer,
The wedding came as a
surprise to the many friends of the bride in this city. While the event was not
unexpected, no one, not even the relatives of the bride, expected it to be
consummated at such an early date, but all join in wishing the happy couple all
the choicest of blessings.
The groom is a traveling
salesman and his bride has been employed as trimmer in a millinery establishment
at Spencer. She will remain in her position until the close of the millinery
season, after which the happy couple will take up their residence at
An Interpreter Necessary.
Richard Engstrom, a
well-known character about the village, was arrested Tuesday night by Officer
Duel and locked up. The specific charge against Engstrom was intoxication, a
habit he is addicted to, and after a night in the lockup he was brought before
Justice Dow to answer to the charge, but when the case was called and the
warrant read to Engstrom he could not be made to understand the nature of the
proceedings, so an interpreter was sworn in in the person of S. Kinlund, and
through his efforts the defendant was made to realize that he was charged with
drunkenness, which constitutes a breach of village etiquette, to which charge he
pleaded guilty and was fined $5 and costs, amounting to a trible over $8, which
he paid and was released from custody.
Engstrom is a laborer and an
industrious worker, but has acquired an appetite for liquor, and at such times
is inclined to be boisterous and it was this tendency which caused his
appearance in police court Wednesday. He is married, and the father of a family.
