FORMER CRAIG MAN GETS FORTY YEARS
Louis Klass, Is Sentenced For a Bank Robbery In Minnesota-Gave Himself Up

Louis Klass, former Craig merchant, who only lived in that town a short time
and who managed in that time to acquire a reputation as not being quite
straight, has been sentenced to forty years in a Minnesota penitentiary for
bank robbery. A press dispatch says:

"Sentence of from five to 40 years in the Minnesota state penitentiary was
meted out to Louis Klass, former Sioux City bootlegger, when he was found
guilty of robbing the First National Bank of Spring Valley, Minn."

Klass, who since his departure from Sioux City, where he was arrested for
bootlegging in 1924, is said to have been traveling under the euphonious
name "Udra Klashtorni," created a sensation at Preston, Minn., several days
ago, when he appeared and gave himself up in connection with the robbery.

With the admission that he "understood they wanted him," and wanted to "get
it over with," Klass, alias Klashtorni, is reported to have turned himself
over to Preston officers. Sentence was pronounced by Judge Norman Peterson.

MARBLE CHAMP TURNS OUT TO BE A LIFE SAVER

Leo "Snookie" Van Asma, who covered himself with glory when he won the
Plymouth county marble tournament championship this spring, has now added
more to his laurels, this time a life saver. [Note: There is a great
snapshot of "Snookie" with this article.]

Snookie was out swimming at the Scout swimming pool Saturday, with a lot of
other boys and girls, and the life saver had just stepped inside his little
house for a moment, when there was a great commotion. Lois Kern, who was
wading along the shore-line, had gone in beyond her depth. She had ducked
under a couple of times. Stewart Jackson, Red Cross swimming instructor,
came tearing down the bank, but he saw immediately that "Snookie" had gone
to the rescue. The boy dived in and brought the struggling girl to shore,
where she quickly recovered her breath and was none the worse for the
experience.

The marriage of Elmer C. Gralapp, son of Louis Gralapp, of LeMars, and Miss
Bernice R. Sudduth, daughter of Ira Sudduth, of Rock Rapids, took place
Tuesday at the residence of Adrian L. Bowers, 827 Central Avenue SW, an
uncle of the bride. The ceremony was solemnized at noon in the presence of
a few relatives and intimate friends. Rev. F. Earl Burgess, pastor of the
First Methodist Church, officiated at the service. The strains of
Mendehohn's wedding march, played on the piano by Mrs. Adrian Bowers,
heralded the young people as they took their places at a floral alter,
bedecked in spring and summer flowers, carrying out in effect the color
scheme of peach and white.

The attendants were Miss Frances Davis, a close friend of the bride, and
Clifford Gralapp, a brother of the bridegroom.

The bride was attired in a becoming gown of peach chiffon with lace and
trimmings, and her bridesmaid wore a pretty dress of peach georgette with

and the bridesmaid carried a shower bouquet of sweet peas.

Following the ceremony and congratulations, a three course wedding dinner
was served. Table hostesses were Mrs. Lloyd Ewers, Mrs. Robert ____, Mrs.

many friends and is very popular in social and community circles.

Mr. Gralapp is a LeMars boy, having attended school and college here, and

FIRECRACKER BREAKS GLASS LOCAL HOME

A cannon cracker which broke a window in the H. S. Martin home and other
complaints have caused Mayor Wallace Winslow to republish Ordinance No. 64,
which legislates against the use of fireworks at times other than July
Fourth. The ordinance appears in another part of the today's paper.

Just how the damage was done at the city attorney's home is not know. The
family had just left the room. Hearing an explosion, they returned and
found the window broken and a ragged hole torn in the screen. The end of a
small firecracker was found on the floor, indicating, but its small size and
great power, that it was one of the violent kinds that are filled with
dynamite or one of the fulminates.

Investigation disclosed that the firecracker was either stuck in a hole in
the screen and lighted, or shot into the screen by means of a slingshot or
home-made cannon, possibly from a vacant lot across the street.
