MOTION DENIED FOR NEW TRIAL
JUDGE BRADLEY LISTENS TO ARGUMENTS FOR REHEARING IN HILL-STINTON CASE

Judge C.C. Bradley presided at a session of court here Saturday
when the November term of the district court was finally adjourned. The
next term of court for Plymouth county will be convened Monday, January 26,
when Judge Wm. Hutchinson, of Alton, will preside.

In court Saturday a motion was argued for a new trial in the
case of Anna Hill against Lillian Stinton. After hearing the arguments
Judge Bradley overruled the motion for a new trial.

This is the sensational case from Merrill tried a few weeks ago,
when Anna Hill lost her suit in which she claimed $25,000 damages from Mrs.
Stinton for alienating the affections of her husband, J.E. Hill, a former
pastor at Merrill.

she will recover.

Ollie Krier shipped forty head of cattle to the Sioux City market Monday
night, and in company with his brother-in-law, John Scharff, the owner
drove to the city Tuesday to superintend the sale.  They struck a poor
market day, although Mr. Krier, who fed the cattle but three months,
declares he made a fair profit in the deal. 

Work on the residence for the Iowa Light, Heat & Power company in
Sunnyside addition was resumed Monday, after a two weeks lay-off on
account of severely cold weather. The frame work was done two weeks ago,
and after working only one day the men were forced to abandon the
project because of the chilly blasts which prohibited much outdoor
activity.

Charles Wilberding is contemplating moving to the vicinity of Lismore,
Minn., this spring, and the family will probably leave here about March
1.  Wilberding has leased a 240-acre farm three miles east of Lismore
for the coming year.  The family is now living on a farm south of town,

his old home surroundings in seven years. Paul expressed notice of a
great change in the general appearance of our town.

Auction sales are not as numerous in the Remsen vicinity this year as
usual.  In this respect, it is perhaps the dullest season ever
experienced here.  Not a single public sale of farm stock has been held
this fall or winter to date in the immediate vicinity.  A Remsen
business man recently remarked that it is his opinion the lack of sales
is a good sign.  In his opinion it indicated that farmers are going to
stay where they are and that there are none who are forced to sell out.

The Illinois Central railroad company's Cherokee carpenter crew is busy
on the local rail station, making repairs and replacements on all edges.
All the worn and damaged lumber is being removed and replaced with new

be put through on this division some time in January.

Relatives and friends of Geo. Lorge, a former Remsen boy who is employed
as a pharmacist in the G. Meinert store for several years, has received
word that Mr. Lorge has recently married in Chicago where he has been
located since leaving Remsen.  No formal announcement of the marriage
was received, but several days ago it was learned that the happy event
took place but recently, and the bride was a Quincy, Ill., girl.  Mr.
Lorge, since leaving Remsen about a year ago, has been engaged in the
drug business in the Windy City.

The Nick Kirpes family received word Monday morning from Dell Rapids,
S.D., that their relative Nick Penning, who was severely injured about
the head three weeks ago in an accident when he was struck by the
revolving spokes of a large gas engine, is considerably improved.  Mrs.
Kirpes, mother-in-law of Mr. Penning, left for Dell Rapids last
Saturday.  She wrote home informing the family of a great improvement in
Penning's condition.  She stated that Mr. Penning regained consciousness
Friday for the first time since the accident two weeks previously and
that physicians say he will recover.

The milking machines installed last week by Dave and Jim Goudie,
southwest of town, are both in good working order, and the milking is
being done twice a day in less time than was formerly required by three
men.  The machines are proving themselves efficient in every particular
and many other farmers have become interested in the new method of
milking.  While machine milking is by no means a new thing, it is
comparatively new in Plymouth county, since there have only been two
machines of this kind the county before, and but one of the them is
working at present, according to Mr. Pease, who installed the Goudie
machines.  The other one in us was purchased on one of the Detloff farms
near LeMars a few years ago.

Miss Elizabeth Harnack arrived home last Wednesday for the holiday
season, which she is spending with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John
Harnack, Sr.  Miss Harnack has been teaching in a large township high
school near Princeton, Ill., during the past two years.  Just prior to
her start for home last week, calamity visited the high school when

just a few days before the dismissal of school for the holiday vacation.
The flames originated on the second floor, presumably the library room,
but the cause was not determined.  The entire structure was wiped out.
The building was a fine brick structure, a portion of which served as
the first rural high school in the state of Illinois, built in 1867.

MRS. MARGARET BAUER WAS ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF PLYMOUTH COUNTY

Mrs. Margaret Bauer, one of the early settlers of Plymouth County, died at her home on Fifth avenue SE, Friday evening. Mrs. Bauer had been an invalid for the past six years.

Her maiden name was Margaret Reith and she was born at Zimmerle, in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Europe, on November 1, 1847. When she was a babe of four months old, her parents came to America and shortly after their arrival settled at Port Washington, Wis., where Margaret Reith grew to young womanhood. She was united in marriage with Joseph Bauer in 1866, the wedding taking place in Chicago. Following their marriage, they lived in Bloomington, Illinois, for three years, where Mr. Bauer followed the occupation of a moulder.

In 1869 they came to Iowa and engaged in farming near Guttenburg and in 1872 came to Plymouth County and farmed for many years near Remsen. For the past twenty-seven years Mrs. Bauer made her home in LeMars.

Mr. and Mrs. Bauer were the parents of eleven children. The husband and four children preceded the mother in death. The children who mourn the death of their mother are: Wm. Bauer, of St. Louis, Mo.; John, of Egan, S.D.; Mathew, of Flandreau, S.D.; Frank, of Wheaton, Minn.; Joseph, of Mankato, Minn.; Mrs. Henry Pfieffer, of Union Grove, Wis.; and Miss Anna Bauer, residing at home. There are twenty-seven grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren.

The funeral services will be held Monday morning at 9:30 at St. Joseph church and the interment made in the Catholic cemetery at Remsen, where her husband and three of her children are buried.

Mrs. Bauer was a devout Christian woman and active in church and other work, before her health failed. She was well known, especially by the older settlers and was highly esteemed in the community where she lived for half a century.

Musical Reading—Dreaming in the twilight.
Prompter—“All the world’s a stage and the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and entrances and one man in his time plays many
parts. His acts being seven ages.”
Prompter—Childhood—Sweet innocent prattling childhood. The time when all
troubles are great and all that we can bear—when mother’s kiss heals each
tear and bruise and keeps us safe always.
Song—“Rock a Bye Baby”
Prompter—Then come the first school days when mother sends away her baby
and in her place comes back an embryo lady.
Recitation—When Grandma was a little girl.
Drill—Ten little helpers, we.
Solo—Violin.

reach the age of youth. Youth filled with its doubts, varying troubles and
changing ways, yet sweet with its trust and ever increasing knowledge.
The Old Oaken Bucket.
Prompter—Later come the high school days, with laugh and talk and taking
ways. Full of mischief, pep and fun. Life flows swiftly, tasks are done.
Reading—Courting, Under Difficulties.

and a life before. And one is ebbing away from your feet, and the other is
rising more and more.
Minuet—By four young ladies and four young men.
Solo—“Neath the Autumn Moon”
Prompter—As unto the bow the cord is, So unto the man is woman, Tho she
bends him, she obeys him; Tho she draws him, yet she follows; Useless each
without the other.
Pantomine—Bridal Couple.
Prompter Reads—Thus it is our daughters leave us, Those we love and
those who love us. Just when they have learned to help us; When we are old
and lean upon them. Comes a youth with flaunting feathers,
With his flute of reeds, a stranger wander piping thru the village beckons
to the fairest maiden, and she follows where he leads her, leaving all
things for the stranger!
The House Keeper—Busy from morn until night.
Lullaby—Young mother with babe.
Prompter—Then comes the happy home and the mother tells her bedtime
story.
Prompter—Life is not all sunshine, the trumpet call he must obey.
Song—“Just Before the Battle Mother”
Song—“Silver Threads Among the Gold”
