WEEPS FOR HA
Bride Wouldn't Tie His Tie or
Peel His Orange
Went Home.
New York, May 5.— "I want my
mother! (Hobs.) I want to go home
to my mother! (More sobe.) I don't
want to be married any more!" (Sobs
long and loud.) It was not the young
bride, but the bridegroom, Frederick
Gronbaldt of Bnswx street, Jersey
City, who thus called for his mother
as if bis 21 year old heart would
break, sixteen days after hi* mHiring
And now he can be with his mother
all the time, for yesterday Charles
Hughes, the special master to whom
the case had l»een referred, recommend
ed to the chancery court at Trenton
that his wife, Eugenie Gronbaldt, be
granted a divorce on the ground of de
sertion.
The Gronbaldts were married at St,
Paul's church, Jersey City. Inside of
Ihree weeks the bridegroom juet had to
no home and have his mother tie his
tie for bim the way it should be tied
H"d as only a mother can tie it. He
staved at home foi some time, and
when nis bride went to coax him
back her mother-in-law slammed the
door in her face.
But Freddie was s good boy and
meant to do right, so the next day he
bade bis mother a tearful goodby and
went back to bis wife. But in a few
lays his eyes were red with weeping
again and he went a second time to
mother. This happened off and on for
eight months, and then Freddy went
home for good. That was in Decem
ber. Then the bride sued for ber
separation. There are no children.
Nobody could convinco Freddy Gron
baldt now that the hand that nad
rocked bis cradle was not the hand to
tie his ties and put the mostaid in the
foot bath when he had a dreadful cold
in the head.
But once Freddy was headstrong.
He wsnted to be married, and thought
he could get along all right without
bis mother. Ob, how many boys tnere
are in the world who think they can
cot loose from mother the way FTeddy
Gronbaldt thought he could! How
many boys there are who are afraid of
the taunts of coarse companions about
their mothers' apron strings! Freddv
Gronbaldt was like that once. But
not now. He has shed his hitter
tears he has known what it is not to
have a mother's flap-jacks on a cold
winter morning, but now the wanderer
has returned.
His cruel awakening came on the
very first morning after leaving home.
It was at the breakfast table. How
well he remembers it! They had
oranges for breakfast. The bride eat
opposite in her new pink morning
wrapper peeling her orange and smil
ing at him. He waited and waited,
bat finally could stand it no longer,
and in a voice choked with sobs and
disappointment asked if she wasn't go
ing to peel and quarter hia orange for
him just as his mother bad always
done.
Of course she did it, and was sorry
she hadn't thought of it herself. Bat
in spite of the bride's contrition Freddy
begsn to have his eyes opened. He
might have got over that first grief
and disappintment had not others fol
lowed thick and fast.
They were invited to a party,
freddy laced his own shoes without
complaining and tried to put on a brave
face and not spoil the evening foi his
bride, although the pleasure was ad
taken out of it for him by her neglect.
But when she confessed that she did
not know how to tie his new four-in
hand for him he couldn't restrain
himself any longer. Tne tears would
come «nd Freddy ciied so herd that it
made bis head ache, and be couldn't
go to the party at all, although there
weie a lot of nice young folks there

dia Mining Hyndicate, concerning the
sale of 1,250,000 shares of stock of the
syndicate to Ole Brown, of Minneppo
lis, who with A. 3. Spate and G. J.
Johnson, of Denver, were the chief
share holders, the latter gentlemen
having 05,000 shares each. The claim
is made that the amount paid for the
stock was not equal to its value. The
syndicate owned properties at Nome,
Alaska, which at the time of the sale
were claimed to be of little value
Later il developed that the mines were
worth from fW,000.000 to flO,000,000
and upon this showing, those who part
ed with their stock,now desire to get
posst'88ion ot it again or to be permit
ted to share in the profits of the syn
dicate. Some weeks since, argument

mission wa« granted for the plaintiffs

Sales
For School Lands—Recent
in Spink County
0.—Col. 8.
H. Gray.
acting as deputy commissioner of
school and public lands, and charged
with the sale of school lands in Spink
county, has just closed one of the
most successful sales ever conducted
in the state. The lands met a ready
sale, farmers being in attendance
from all parts of the countv. The
lowest price received was f85 per acre,
and the highest price was $90 per acre.
This brings the average at abont
per acre. When it is considered that
these school lands are wholly unim
proved and nohing but raw prairie the
general improvement of the state and
county from twenty years ago can
readily be seen. The minimum price
of school lands was fixed by the consti
tution at 10 per acre, bat in this por
tion of the state 't is safe to say that
very little, if any, will be sold at less
than $35 per acre from now on. The
total amount received by Col.Gray at
chis sale, lasting less than two hoars,
was 1148,155. Thia amount will go
to swell the permanent school fund of
the state and will be loaned out at 5
per cent upon improved farm lands, or
invested in municipal and school
bonds. Gray leports this to be the
most successful sale that has been wit
nessed since statehood by all odds.
The people of Kedfield and Spink
county naturally feel elated over the
fine showing. This sale confirms the
faith that South Dakotans have in
the lands of the "Jim" river valley.
Wanted, for cash, Early Ohio seed
jotatoes, 25 to 100 bushels. Call on
Joseph Benkin, Lake County clothing
r-tore.

WESTERN ROMANCE
Dashing Young Westerner Se
lects Bride From Among
the Claims
Aberdeen, May 6. Yesterday at
Bath the marriage of Fred Jennewein
of Bison and Miss Lena Svarstad,
daughter of Mrs. J. A. Svarstad, took
place.
The weddnig is the culimnation of
an acquaintance formed when Miss
Svarstad went to the new country over
the rivei to take up a claim.
Her party pat up at a ranch house
one night and there the brother of the
woman who lived on the ranch met
the party. The brother was Fred Jen
newein.
Mr. Jennewein is one of the well
known young ranchers of that locality.
He took a prominent part in the Bison
Lemmon county seat tight. When a
contest, was seen to be inevitable.it was
decided by the Bison supporter» to send
a man to Belle Fourche to consult an
attorney. Mr. Jennewein was selected,
as he was thought to be well qualified
in presenting the case. He set out on
the ride of 150 miles on Feb. 8 last, the
day of the big blizzard. The ride was
one of great danger, but Mr. Jenne
wein got through safely. His face was
so badly frozen, that it came off to the
lione. After ne bad performed the
work, which took him to Belle Fourche,
he set out on the return ride. By that
time the wind had changed and the
weather had become warm. This
caused the
HUOW
to melt and the
streams in the route were running so
that the rider and his horse were com
pelled to swim many ol them. When
they reached Moreau, the largest of the
streams, the river was nearly cut of
its banks. He secured a ooat from a
settler living on tne river and stretched
a rope ovei the stream, after which he
pulled the horse across, and they
reached Bison well tired out by the ex
perience.
