Mr. P.E. Malia of Ayrshire and Miss Marie Bettinger of Clare Married.
P.E. Malia treated his friends to a genuine surprise when he arrived here
Monday morning from Clare with a wife. To our knowledge there wasn't a person in
town who even suspected that he was contemplating matrimony and only thought
those occasional trips to Clare were for the purpose of visiting a few hours
with mother. Of course his intimate friends had noticed that those visits had

The bride is Miss Marie Bettinger, who has resided in Clare since early
childhood. She is the eldest girl of the family and since her mother's death
many years ago, she has been mother ans sister to the family of younger
children. She is spoken of very highly by those who know here and will reign
with dignity in her new home.
The marriage ceremony took place at the Catholic church in Clare Monday at
7 a.m. with Father Dorsey officiating...[rest of article not copied.]

accept $2300 for their services, but he refused to pay that amount. They sued
for $4000. The case was tried at Estherville last week, lasting for several
days. They were given a verdict for $2700.
