--W.A. MILL's son has an operation requiring 3 doctors.
--The following item from Monday's journal will be of interest to
many here.
A romantic little story found its way into Sioux City yesterday
from Correctionville. It is to the effect that Bert P. MILL,
editor of the Correctionville News, had Miss Susie E.
CASTLE, of that place, had been husband and wife for fully a week
before the people of their town knew a thing about it. Mr. MILL
and Miss CASTLE quietly went to Washta Sunday afternoon, April
29, and there were united in the bonds of matrimony by Rev. R.E.
HELMS. Then they came back home, and never told anyone about it.
Last Saturday evening, however, Mr. MILL invited a number of
friends to his rooms, and among them was his bride. It was as
late as 11 o'clock at night that the guests were astonished with
an exhibition of a week old marriage license. Then
congratulations followed, and it was an hour later before the
happy party came to an end. Mr. and Mrs. MILL decided to keep the
affair quiet until they go their home all fixed up, and not even
her parents learned of the wedding until it was announced at the
party.
