Honeymoon Alone CHAPTER I Marcia Cunningham was descending the wide stairway that led to the drawing room and the conservatory beyond. She wasn’t due officially on that stairway for nearly two more hours, Yet she was walking slowly, yards of ivory tulle swirling around her ankles. Her amber curls shone under the halo cap that held her train, and her wide gray eyes were dark and lovely. The brief, gay moment of slipping down alone, dressed in her wedding frock, didn’t require the poise and restraint that would be be- fitting when.150 guests watched her measured approach. “Here comes. the bride—” i Marcia The orchestra was practicing behind the palms. especially | naused to listen, standing.in a pool of tulle.

D.—Water Land or Move Out Editor’s Note: This is another problems in western North Da- kota. By KENNETH W. SIMONS In a state where the average farm contained 405.8 acres in 1930 and 462.4 acres in 1935, it seems silly to say that the average. farm is too small to enable the operator to make a de- cent living. Yet the history of the last few years shows this to be the case. Our Custer Camps on Capitol Grounds Chief White Bull, Nephew of Medicine Man, Traces Story of Little Big Horn Battle in Dust; Scorns Lodge, Sleeps on Ground “I counted eight cous in the Battle of the Little Big Horn. One of them was on Custer.” : Chief rhea White Bull, Miniconjou Indian from the Grand River reservation, Little Eagle, S.

Afterwards the other braves said that man was Custer.” Chief White Bull’s story is in direct contradiction to the oft-told legend that his uncle, Sitting Bull, killed Custer. The feat was claimed not by White Bull himself, however, but by the braves who fought at his side, and E. A. Milligan of the state historical society, who is sponsoring the Indians’ appear- ance here, believes his story is true. *|BOTTINEAU DEPUTY SHERIFF MORTALLY WOUNDED IN SOURS “|Attempt to Arrest Man Acting .
