St. Paul, Minn., March 6—Two
veers ago, Miss Mary Gyattmati,
then 16 years old, arrived in St.
Paul, following a long journey from
Sopron, Hungary, to meet her broth
er Joseph. At the union depot an
officer met her and told her her
brother was awaiting trial for mur
dering his wife. Without an acquain
tance in the United States, and un
able to speak a word of the Eng
lish language, the girl was forced
at tender age, into the world. Un
d^r the care of nuns of St. Agnes'
Catholic church, she made good.
Last week she was married to Gesa
Domokos, a fellow countryman, who
a'so has made good.

CUT ALREADY
BEINGFILLED
Gateway: Seward is already get
ting filled up. A couple o£ weeks
ago this paper wrote half in fun aud
linlf seriously a skit about what may
happen in Seward in the be
ginning of March and, strange
to say, some of the anticipations
are already being realized. E. O.
Sawyer made it his business yes
terday to make a complete circle of
i he beach to discover how many
cabins could be rented in that quar
ter and he could only find two.
These two were put on the market
immediately and one hour after
they were put up they were rented
by a man with his wife and child.
Many people are now looking for
'ots on which to build, but another
difficulty is presented in the short
age of lumber. There is some lum
ber of a certain kind, but the supply
is so incomplete that it is said it
would be practically impossible to
build a house just now. The gen
eral belief ol those coming from the
outside is that we shall have >1
rush here In a few weeks.
