SILKS STOLEN
The entire stock of silks in the Berg & Brennan store mysteriously
disappeared last week. They were not missed until Friday noon when one of the
clerk had a silk customer, and they were no where to be found. The members of
the firm have no idea how the theft was committed, but the goods disappeared
sometime between Thursday evening and Friday noon. There was no evidence
anywhere of entrance having been forced and the supposition is that someone must
have concealed themselves in the store in the day time and made their get away
with the silks at night. Silks are a very popular thing to steal these days.
They are valuable and are not bulky. In fact a man could easily carry two
hundred dollars worth under one arm, and then have no heavy load.

OLE GARO MARRIED.
Mr. Ole Garo of this city and Miss Marie T. DeVere of Iowa City were united
in marriage at the Lutheran parsonage in Newton on Thursday, December 22, at
noon. The wedding comes as a surprise to Mr. Garo's many Ruthven friends. He was
a very popular young man in this community. He is a son of Mrs. Cecelia Garo and
was born and reared here. He was in the navy during the war and has been a very
active member of the American Legion. During the past year he has held the
important post of Commander of Ruthven Post No. 33. During the winter he has
been taking a course in architectural engineering at Ames. Concerning the
wedding, the Register of Sunday has the following to say:
"The marriage of Miss Marie T. DeVere, daughter of Mrs. Nellie R. DeVere of
Iowa City, and Ole Garo of Ames took place Thursday noon at the home of Dr. W.H.
Blancke, pastor of the First Lutheran Church at Newton.
Dr. Blanche was assisted in performing the ceremony by Dr. G.P. Mitchell of
Des Moines, at whose home the bride has resided the past year and a half.
The bride wore a gown of canton crepe trimmed with silver brocaded lace and
a corsage bouquet of roses, lillies of the valley and orchids. After the
ceremony a five-course wedding breakfast was served to fourteen guests by Mrs.
Blancke, assisted by Misses Lillian and Edna Blancke.
Out of town guests in attendance included the bride's mother from Iowa City,
the Rev. and Mrs. G.P. Mitchell of Des Moines, Miss Lillian Swanson, Iowa City;
Miss Rosali Bireline, Oxford, Iowa; Miss Harriet Darling, Roen Island, Ill; Miss
Allee Armstrong and Miss Bertha Shaw of Des Moines. The couple left, following
the ceremony, for a wedding trip to Chicago and other eastern points.
The bride took her work at Augustana College at Rock Island and post
graduate work at the University of Iowa. The past two years she has been
teaching English in the Des Moines high schools. During the war Mr. Garo served
in the navy and at present is a student in the architectural engineering
department at the Iowa State College at Ames."
