ATHLETIC PARK SOLD AT SHERIFF SALE

The athletic park, situated in the north end of town, was sold at sheriff's
sale on Saturday to satisfy a lien. The line is a small amounting to
$542.62.

Charles E. Flaugher bid on the property. It is hoped that the association
will redeem the property, which it has time to do within the expiration of
the year. Mr. Flaugher in speaking of the sale voiced the sentiment of a
number of others when he said, "I hope to see the stock holders redeem the
property and that there will be baseball this season." The city needs an
athletic park and the present one is well and conveniently located being
within easy distance of the business portion of the town.

ALTON: (From the Democrat)

F.L. Sauter, of the firm of Sauter & Sauter at LeMars, was in Alton last
week and bought three cars of fat cattle—one from Lou Nothe, one from Pete
Hanson and one from Nat Streff.

Miss Maggie Nemmers, of LeMars, who was here last week to visit her aunt,
Mrs. Antone Huss and cousins Pete Nemmers and Mesdames Kokenge and Demuth,
left Friday for home. She keeps house for her father and on her arrival home
found that he had installed a fine new piano for her use. Mrs. Huss also
went to LeMars to visit her sister, Mrs. Kemp.

Alton has sustained a real loss in the calling away of Pete Kramer to a
larger field. On Wednesday he started for Des Moines to being work for the
Nichols & Shepard thresher company, one of the biggest concerns in the
country. Pete is a district manager with a salary to start on of an even
thousand dollars a year. His territory comprises all that part of Iowa lying
within the following bounds: From Des Moines north to Fort Dodge, thence
west to LeMars, south to Council Bluffs and back to Des Moines and takes in
about twenty-five counties. Pete is well fitted for the position for there
is little he doesn’t know about the practical workings of machines. He has
been negotiating for the position for some time and while we regret to lose
him we are glad he has so good an opening. He will be missed in Alton.
Everybody knew Pete for a wholesouled, big hearted, good natured fellow.

Felix Schaul has severed connection with the Alton Drug Store and will enjoy
a month’s vacation at his home in LeMars after which he will take a position
in a drug store in the East. “Feel” will be missed among the boys and
especially by the band.

Very Rev. Brune was quite dangerously ill the past week. He was afflicted
with an ailment of the heart Friday and had to take to his bed. It was his
second attack of the kind and therefore the more dangerous. He entered his
pulpit as usual Sunday morning expecting to give but a short service but the
large crowd present caused him to change his plan and conduct the service as
usual. He intended also to have the regular afternoon service but found
himself so exhausted by the morning service that he had to announce that
there would be no service in the afternoon. He is better at present but far
from a well man again. Father Brune needs a rest. His labors for his flock
has sapped his strength. We understand he contemplates a trip to the Pacific
coast to recuperate his health. He surely deserves a vacation and should
have one if someone could be found to take his place for a few weeks. We are
sure his congregation would make any sacrifice rather than have his
usefulness curtailed or his life shortened by too close application to their
interests.

Robt. Vague, of central Kansas, came up last evening on a surprise visit to
his brother, Wm. Vague, who is now recuperating from his recent accident, at
the Frank Foss residence. The two brothers have not met for 31 years, since
they played together on the old farm in Wisconsin. Through the course of
circumstances and business interests one drifted into Kansas and other into
Iowa. Each had planned many times to visit the other but circumstances
interfered until last evening. The meeting of the two brothers was a
pleasure to see—neither knew the other but when their identity was realized
the brothers rejoiced as only near and dear relatives can after a long
separation. Both have prospered well in the world’s goods and are prominent
and respected citizens of the locality in which they live.

Rev. Empy and wife, moved into the M.E. parsonage Tuesday. Mr. Empy will

Christian minister and an efficient church worker.

Bunkers, brother of the bride, served as best man, and Miss Anna Deitering,
sister of the groom, served as bridesmaid. After the ceremonies were over,
the wedding party repaired to the home of the parents of the bride, Mr. and
Mrs. Bernard Herman Bunkers, which is but one half mile south of Remsen, and
there enjoyed a sumptuous wedding dinner, and a very pleasant wedding
festival. Many nice presents were given to the young couple who start in
life under the most pleasant prospects. Thursday morning Mr. and Mrs.
Deitering said farewell to relatives and friends in old Remsen home, and
departed for Bancroft, Iowa, where Mr. Deitering holds the position of
butter-maker in Bancroft creamery. May life long happiness be their lot.

Le Mars Semi-Weekly Sentinel, February 13, 1903

Favor Independent Ball.

The meeting of those interested in the reorganization of the Iowa-South
Dakota baseball league, which was scheduled to take place at Sioux Falls S.
D. on Wednesday February 11, was postponed for thirty days in order to give
President Lockhart an opportunity to personally visit Lincoln, Council
Bluffs and other towns for the purpose of conferring with baseball
enthusiasts of those cities as to the likelihood of their being represented
in the Bush league this season. At present the prospects for the
reorganization of the league do not look particularly bright. The majority
of the towns, which have been approached on the subject of union league
ball, appear to be in favor of independent ball, and claim there is more
money in it. Sioux Falls, Fort Dodge, and Yankton are in favor of
independent ball and will have teams in the field this summer. Webster City,
Mason City, Waterloo, Boone and Waseca will all have teams this year.
Sheldon and Le Mars will have baseball this year, whether there is a league
or not.

Sioux County Herald - Obituary of "Jennie"

'Jennie' perhaps the oldest mule in northwestern Iowa, died at the home of
her owner, Bert Van Pelt, west of Orange City on Friday of last week at the
age of forty one years. Jennie first saw the light of day in Marion County,
Iowa, and with her mate drew a load of household furniture from Pella to
Sioux County in 1869; this train of wagon teams being the very first
settlers of the colony. Jennie also bore the distinction of being one of
the four mule teams which drew the county safe and records from Calliope in
1872 when the boys relocated the county seat without ceremony or ballot.
Jennie's mates, on this famous trip, preceded her in muledom by several
years. In her late illness she was nursed like a child and her death was
equally mourned.

SINCLAIR-COFFEE WEDDING.

The announcement of the marriage of Mr. James Coffee to Miss Edith L.
Sinclair came as a surprise to nearly the entire list of Mr. Coffee’s LeMars
friends and it is probable that only a very few of his closest friends were
let into the secret. The marriage took place at Armour, S.D. on Wednesday,
February 11, in the Catholic church and the ceremony was solemnized by Rev.
Father O’Mara. The groom is a young man who has made Plymouth County his
home nearly all his life and where he is held in high esteem by all who know
him and all join in extending the most cordial congratulations to him and
his bride. Mr. Coffee has been deputy auditor at Armour for some time and
he has performed his trust well. The Armour Herald in speaking of the happy
event in their lives says:

“Mr. Coffey has made Armour his home during part of the time for several
years past and has many friends here while the bride is well and favorably
known, having lived here a greater part of her life. The HERALD joins in
extending congratulations to the young people with a hope that they may
enjoy a long and peaceful marriage over the matrimonial sea.”

KALAS-DANNE WEDDING.

At 3 o’clock on Thursday, February 19th, Miss Emma Danne, of Stanton
township and Henry Kalas of Liberty township, were married at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig Danne. Rev. Jno. Sass, pastor of the Stanton U. E.
church officiated.

The bridal couple were accompanied to the marriage altar by Miss Mary Kalas
and Gustave Danne. The interesting marriage ceremony was witnessed by about
seventy-five guests, who had come from far and near, thus in a measure
attesting to the great popularity of the happy young people. After the
ceremony and a deluge of congratulations, the company partook of a very
elaborate wedding supper served in three courses.

After a week or two visiting around among relatives and friends, Mr. and
Mrs. Kalas will go to housekeeping on the Chris Hahn farm in Liberty
township. We extend congratulations. –Merrill Record.
