Gainesville Boy is Killed-
Gainesville, Tex., October 13.—
Arlie Patterson, 20 years of age,
son of J. O. Patterson, was instant-
ly killed by the accidental discharge
of his shotgun while hunting two
miles east of the city this afternoon.
Young Patterson, accompanied
by his 15-year-old sister, had driv-
en out from the city to shoot birds
and while getting into the buggy
to return home the trigger caught
on the buggy step and the gun was
discharged, the load taking effect
in his neck and spinal column,
death resulting instantly.
The young man was a grandson
of Captain and Mrs. H. B. Rich-
ards, for many years highly re-
spected residents of LaGrange. His
mother, whose maiden name was
Milss Eva Richards, is well known
to all our people. The tragic death
and the consequent grief of parents
and grandmother has elicited ex-
pressions of sympathy from every-
body.
News was received here Tuesday
morning that Henry Meyer’s large
barn at Ellinger was destroyed by
fire at an early hour of the same
morning. The cause of the fire
was not learned, but many believe
it to be the work of an incendiary.
This is the second stable this gen-
tleman has been forced to lose in
this manner, and the last loss is
quite severe. Fortunately, a ne-
gro on his way to town discovered
the flames, promptly aroused the
hostler, and they succeeded in get-
ting the horses ouf of danger, but
about four hundred bushels of fine
corn, several hundred bushels of
oats and other feeci was consumed.
The Journal hopes that Mr.
Meyer will be successful in locating
the culprit, if the fire was really of
incendiary origin.
Rev. J. W. Nelson will leave for
Austin next week to attend the an-
nual conference, and will next Sun-
day preach his last sermon for the
present year. During the time he
has been pastor in charge of the
Methodist church here his work
has ever been for the betterment of
the church, numerically, mate-
rially and financially. What he
has accomplished should bring him
pleasure, and The Jounal gives
his work its hearty indorsment.
Song Service.
The last song service of the Con-
ference year will be given at the
Methodist church next Sunday at
7:30 p.m.
Qne of the best programs of the
year has been arranged. All are
invited to come. Sunday school
at 9:45 a.m. Preaching at 11 a.m.
by the pastor.
CLERK wanted; require refer-
ence. C. W. Amjbhsg.
Tuesday evening at 8:30 o’clock,
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Let-
zerich in the eastern part of the
city, Rev. Father Lennartz united
in the holy bonds of matrimony
Gerhard A. Balzer and Miss Sy-
bella Elizabeth, their eldest .daugh-
ter, the cermony being witnessed
by a large number of friends and
relatives of the contracting parties.
The words that united them for life
were spoken in the parlor of the
home, which had been very pret-
tily decorated for the happy event
by Mrs. C./W. Amberg.
The bride, dressed in a very
pretty wedding gown of the latest
creation in white liberty satin, and
the groom in conventional black,
made an imposing picture as they
marched to the waiting priest,while
Miss Verona Letzerich, a cousin of
the bride, played Mendelssohn’s
wedding march.
After receiving congratulations,
the bride and groom led the way to
the lawn, where stood large tables,
truly “well laden and groaning,’’
presided over by friends and rela-
tives whose efforts to see that every
one was well remembered were suc-
cessful. Toasts, appropriate and
beautiful, were offered in turn by
the guests and the best wishes' of
all were tendered the newly mar-
ried couple for one long, joyous
honeymoon.
Miss Sybella, one of the most
popular young ladies of this city,
was reared here and is recognized
by all as a talented woman, pos-
sessing the amiable disposition and
charms that are hers by right of a
cherished inheritance, which will
for her the esteem and love of all
who meet her. She will be a help-
mate that will ever make the home
of her husband happy. And in
this she has The Journal’s best
wishes.
Gerhard Balzer, also reared here,
for several years a most valued em-
ploye of the Von Rosenberg Com-
pany, commencing as cash boy and
rising to the head of a department
in that large house, is a favorite
with all who know him, and that
means practically everybody. In-
dustrious, steady and energetic, it
only needed the step he has now so
wisely taken to develop into a use-
ful and substantial citizen.
They will continue to reside here.
The Journal, joining with all
their friends heartily repeats the
toast of the hermit of the Katskills:
“May they live long and prosper.”

The tent show which reached
here the first of the week and gave
a performance Monday night was
accompanied by a few light-fingered
stragglers, two of whom got into
trouble as soon as possible. The
result 6i their efforts to appropriate
a gun belonging to another party
in^he city was a “lock-up in the
county jail. Up to the time of going
to press no arrangements had been
made for bail, nor had the ease
came up for trial.
A pair of mules belonging to a
visiting farmer, finding themselves
in sole possession of the wagon,
made a flash down Colorado street,
but failed to damage themselves or
the wagon. They were stopped in
front of Brown & Lane's office.
Qinzel-Lidiak Nuptials.
Tuesday evening, at 745o’clock,
in the Sacred Heart Catholic church
in the northern part of the city,
Rev. Father Lennartz performed
the beautiful and impressive cere-
mony which united Edwin Ginzel
and Miss Anna Lidiak in the holy
bonds of matrimony.
Friends of the two popular young
people had previously decorated
the interior of the church with pot
flowers and fems.with white draper
ies at the altar, making a scene
beautiful for the eye to feast upon.
As the bridal party, consisting of
Miss Martha Lidiak and Max Gin-
zel, Commissioner Lidiak with his
daughter, Miss Anna, dressed in a
most becoming gown of white crepe
de chine, leaning on his arm, aud
Edwin Ginzel, accompanied by his
mother, entered the church, Mrs.
Anna Janda played Mendelssohn’s
soul inspiring wedding march.
Just prior to the announcement of
their arrival, Mrs. J. L. Haidusek,
in her usual charming manner,
sang
As the altar was reached, Rev.
Father Lennartz stepped forward,
and, having known the bride since
childhood, made a few very appro-
priate remarks and pronounced the
tie that bound them for life. In
his remarks the reverend gentle-
man dwelt feelingly upon the great
necessity for a retention of their
strong love for each other and the
exercise of mutual forliearance and
gentleness of disposion that will
make their married life one contin-
ual honeymoon. Immediately af-
ter the ceremony all repaired to the
home of the bride’s parents, where
a sumptuous wedding supper was
awaiting their attention.
The happy young couple, who
enter upon life’s pleasant journey
with the hearty congratulations and
best wishes of a legion of friends
here and in the vicinity, left on the
midnight Katy for Paducah, Texas,
to spend a a few days with friends,
whence they will visit other places,
expecting to be at home to their
friends about November 1. The
bride’s traveling costume was a very
pretty gown of navy blue, with hat
to match. They will occtipy the
Vanek cottage.
Numerous and beautiful presents
were tendered the young couple,
which will ever be a pleasant re-
minder of the day when the union
of two hearts was consummated.
Miss Annie, twin daughter of
Commissioner and Mrs. %Frank Lid-
iak, was born in this city. The
writer has known her from infancy,
and has with pleased interest wit-
nessed the development of that
winsome cheerfulness of disposition
which has endeared her to all. Her
training in domesticity by a good
mother, her college acquirements
and other talents make her a prize
that the young husband may well
be proud to cherish.
Edwin Ginzel came to LaGrange
from Round Top several years ago.
During the time he has resided
among us his occupation has been
that of electrician with the La-
Grange Electric Light and Power
Company. His parents are among
the oldest settlers of Round Top, a
highly respected family, and in
Edwin we have, as if mirrored, the
the genial, kindly virtues of his
father. We feel that in commend-
ing him he is but receiving what
an upright, energetic young man
is justly entitled to. May the union
of Tuesday be ever blessed with
happiness and contentment, as well
material prosperity, and result in a
long and useful married life.
August Bollmeyer was nursing
an inflamed eye Monday morning,
the result of an accident of the day
preceding. August had been try-
ing a new “pump” gun of 22-cali-
ber, and when taking a shot at a
tree the cartridge exploded to the
rear, completely blinding him for a
few moments. At first it was feared
that sight in the right eye would
be impaired, but such fear proved
unfounded.
H. C. Huebetter received the first
manure spreader to be sold in this
section, last Monday. The pur-
chase was made from Meyer Bros,
and the new machinery promptly
put in nse. The work done has
proven very satisfactory after sev-
eral days trial.
Activity in real estate continues.
Another purchase made last week
was that of Charles Mar quart clos-
ing the deal for the Jake Wolters
home, until recently owned by Fritz
Presun and occupied by Leo Struve.
The consideration was $ 1,000.
The opening ball of the fire de-
partment announced to take place
place to-night, has been postponed
until Thursday, November 10, on
account of the serious illness of
Miss Schssidrr.
