Mich Brandt, who had been
missing fbr two weeks, was
found in a pasture about one-
quarter of a mile south of M.
Guenther's place last Sunday
afternoon by one of Barney
Block's boys. The body was
badly decomposed. His coat
and hat were found about 20
feet from the body. The remains were buried early Monday morning in the Granite
cemetery.
Mr. Brandt left P. Theiss'
place three weeks ago today
(Thursday) for a walk to the
neighbors'. As he had been in
the habit of taking strolls and
visits among the neighbors, his
failure to return that evening
gave no cause for alarm in the
Theiss home. Early Friday
morning he arrived at the Guen-
ther home and left there about
eleven o'clock in the forenoon,
as reported in the Journal two
weeks ago. Evidently he
slept in the open Thursday
night.
Michael Brandt was born in
Germany in 1825 and came to
America with his first wife and
one daughter, now married in
Iowa, in 1855. His wife died
soon after, and he then came to
Sibley county, Minnesota where
his second wife died. For the
past 17 years, lie has made his
home in Hillman, and the last
nine years with Peter Theiss.
A SEPTEMBER
WEDDING.
ADDifiONAL
About four weeks ago, Mr.
Brandt looked at the palm of

Theiss children that his "lifeline" was almost completed and
that he would die in about two
weeks. He died about 18 days
after he made this prediction.

merskirchen were married in the

The bride was handsomely
gowned with brocaded char-
tneuse and wore a wreath of
lillies of the valley and carried
a bouquet of brideroses. She was
attended by Annie and Cre
centia Faust and Angeline and
Hildegard Wermerskirchen, who
were also elegantly gowned. Leo
Wermerskirchen, Alex Hartmann, William and Andrew H.
Kaust were best men. The wedding dinner was served at the
bride's home. The wedding
dance in the evening in Faust's
hall was largely attended. The
young couple will make their

honeymoon trip to Duluth and

Lastrup Dental Parlors.
(By John P. Virnig-.)
Peter Weidenbach was suffering with a bad tooth-ache last
Monday and drove to Lastrup
to take some of Kiewel's Keg
Pain Killer. While he was
taking large doses of this cure-
all, F. X. Busseler happened
in and told Peter that he had
practiced dentistry years ago,
and as an accommodation would
pull the throbbing molar if a
pair of forceps could be found.
The nearest things in the whole
village, to forceps, were my ice
tongs and a pair of pliers. Better fitted in size, the pliers were
chosen for the operation. The
operation was successful, but
Peter later fell into a state of
unconsciousness from which he
was later revived with a small
