Married At Austin, Minn.
Last Friday at the Methodist
church parsonage in Austin, Minn.,
occurred the marriage of a popular
youhg Decorah couple, Mr. Leonard
Goltz and Miss Doris Miller. The
bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
t . B. Miller, of Decorah and is a
charming and esteemed young lady
and has many friends here. The
groom is a son of Edward Goltz, and
i: one of Decorah’s fine young men.
He has been associated with his fa
ther in the carpenter business here
tor some time past. He is a young
man who is highly esteemed by many
friends, and all join with us in
extending congratulations and best
wishes to the happy young couple.
Sentenced to Industrial School
Charles Pelton, a young lad 15
years ol age, was sentenced yester
day to the industrial school at Eldora
by Judge Springer, who came over
to Decorah from New Hampton and
heard the complaint against the boy.
He was working on the road near
Ridgeway last Thursday. The little
eight year old daughter of Theo.
Gullickson of Ridgeway walked out
near where Pelton was working and
he made indecent proposals to her
and attempted assault. When \he
girl arrived home she told her par
ents about it,* and Marshal Bert
Daniels arrested Pelton. He was
taken before Justice Klemme who
bound him over to wait the action
of the grand jury.
County Attorney J. A. Nelson on
looking the matter up found the boy
was under 15 years of gge, and the
case being a juvenile one it did not
to go before the grand jury.
The /boy plead guilty to the charge,
making a written confession. Judge
Springer then sentenced him to the
industrial school. We understand the
sheriff will take him to Eldora to
day or tomorrow. The young fel
low’s parents live in Cresco.

SATISFACTIONGUARANTEED
PARKING OF ALTOS
Homecoming Week Will Call for
Much Parking Space.
The city authorities have had the
matter of taking care of the autos
here during Homecoming week un
der advisement at the last meeting
of the council.
Marshal Tavener has . suggested
that the city hitching grounds be
fixed up for a parking place, not
only for Homecoming week, but
make it a permanent grounds for
parking. The council has discussed
the advisability of fencing it all in,
making one entrance to it, the street
west of the electric light company
office. If this ground w r as cleared
off in good shape, fenced up and
taken care of it would make as good
a place for parking as can be found
here. It has also been suggested* to
rent the ground out to somebody and
let them take care of the autos,
making a nominal charge for park
ing.
The Commercial Club has secured
the J. P. Burns pasture, north of
;he Winneshiek and autos will be
parked there during Homecoming
week. They have another good place
also that they are planning on get
ting.
Water street will be kept free
of autos on Tuesday and Wednesday
of Homecoming week, so as to give
room for the big parades to be held
on these days.
The handling of the autos will be
no easy task that week and all plans
should be worked out now to take
care of them in the best possible
manner.

Theives Break Into Dental Office
Theives entered the dental office
of Dr. H. S. Wright, at West Un
ion on Wednesday evening of last
week and took between S2O and $25
worth of gold used as filling for
teeth. The theives or theif entered
through the transom and started to
ransack the drawers, the cabinet
where .the gold is kept was locked
but it was easily pried open without
damaging the case more than to
leave two ugly marks near the lock.
The theives then went and peared
nto the 100 ms occupied by the Fred
R. McNeal family and seeing them
occupied did not disturb them. —West
