For Sheriff
Vote for
John G. Lubben
(Candidate on Republican Ticket)
Mr. Lubben has lived in Plymouth county thirteen years, and ten
years before that in Sioux county. He is in business in LeMars and
everyone who has had any dealings with him is his friend.
Still a young man, 35 years of age, he has the qualities which are
required in a sheriff. He is an expert shot with rifle or revolver. He
has had considerable experience as special deputy and as a bank
vigilante.
If you want action in the pursuit and prevention of crime in
Plymouth county, Mr. Lubben is the man you want. If you want to see more
of these petty thieveries, egg, sugar and coffee thefts cleaned up, vote
for John Lubben. If you want to feel safer about your chickens or other
livestock, give your support to the man who pledges himself to work full
time every day for your protection.

MR. & MRS. HAPGOOD WED FIFTY YEARS
Ancestors On Both Sides Fought in the Revolutionary War
Kingsley, Ia., June 11. (Special): Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Hapgood celebrated
their golden wedding June 6. They were the recipients of many beautiful
gifts from friends here and friends out of town. The I.O.O.F. and Rebecca
lodges of which they have been members for many years presented them with a
beautiful picture and many of their friends called on them throughout the
day. The real celebration was held on the old Hapgood homestead in Grand
Meadow township northeast of this place on Sunday, June 10, as due to
sickness in the son's family they could not hold their family reunion on the
wedding date.
Mr. Hapgood has lived in Iowa all his life, having been born in Jackson
county January 17, 1852. Mrs. Hapgood was born at Hartford, Conn., July 5,
1854. They were married June 6, 1878, at Epworth, Iowa, and lived in
Cherokee county where they resided until sixteen years ago when they moved
to Kingsley and their only son, Edsle Hapgood, has lived on the old
homestead since. Their only daughter, Miss Hattie Hapgood, lives here with
her parents. They have two grandchildren and one great-granddaughter, Donna
June Miller.
Mrs. Hapgood's ancestors on both sides of the family fought in the
Revolutionary War. Mr. Hapgood has the coat of arms which he has inherited
from his New England ancestors, and has been handed down from the English
gentry since 1656.
SISTERS SEPARATED TWENTY-NINE YEARS
Mrs. D. H. Stewert of Ireton Picks Up Threads Running Back to Civil War Days
Ireton, Ia., June 11. (Special): Sisters who have not seen each other for
twenty-nine years are enjoying a visit with each other in Ireton this week.
They are Mrs. D. H. Stewert, of Ireton, and Mrs. William Wood, of Hunter,
Ind.
Their life story reads like a best seller and dates back to the stirring
days of the Civil War when Mrs. Stewert was less than two years old and Mrs.
Woods was an infant of two weeks. The father was in the union army and
death took the mother of the two small children.
Mrs. Stewert was taken by her paternal grandparents and came west when her
father later remarried while Mrs. Woods was raised by her mother's parents,
married and remarried in the east. The sisters remained in contact with
each other by correspondence at intervals after they were grown but had not
actually seen each other for twenty-nine years.
HOBOES GET PLENTIFUL IN WARM WEATHER
Evidence that spring is over and summer with all its comfortable outdoor
sleeping is here, is to be had almost any day noting the large number of
hoboes who pass through town on the "side-door pullmans."
A gang of ten hoboes was routed out of some standing box cars by the police
yesterday. They were allowed to sleep in the city jail over night. The
next morning they were interviewed by Chief of Police Frank Smith. All
claimed to have a little money. They were advised to move on as soon as
possible.
COLORED BOYS WANTED RIDE; ONE IN JAIL
Three colored boys, Willie Irish, Calvin Gilbert and Mose Branch were
arrested in Merrill when they attempted to steal a car belonging to James B.
Miller. They were caught in the act and thrown in the "cooler" at Merrill,
and later brought before Justice J. G. Koenig. Gilbert and Branch were
released, while Willie Irish was the only one held, as he stated he was the
only one implicated in the attempted theft. He was lodged in jail on
default of bonds.
It was reported that the charge against Irish was dropped, but County
Attorney George Sturges stated this afternoon that Irish was still in jail,
and asked for the judge.
CAR PLUNGES INTO DITCH; THREE DEAD

CRAIG:
There was quite an exodus of Craigites to Yankton last Sunday to see
Gerney's peonies and witness the wedding of a young couple staged in the
WNAX studio among whom were Mayor H.F. Ludwig and family, J.P. Renken and
family, H.J. Ludwigs and family, H.G. Eilers and family, Ellerd Ludwigs and
family, Mr. and Mrs. George H. Null and the editor and wife. The peonies
were there in profusion and the wedding took place, but so vast was the
crowd that not more than a third of the visitors saw the wedding or could
even get into the auditorium. All you could see was a congestion of
automobiles. It was a long drive for what little was seen, but the
atmosphere was fine. Of course, you can get all the atmosphere you want at
home, but it doesn't taste as good, you know. Crops look splendid all the
way, especially from River Sioux on, where they seem further advanced than
here.
