"Quietly" Married
A popular young couple of this city, Mr. Ernest Gaunitz and Miss Elsie Rieth, whose approaching marriage some time this month has been an open secret, attempted to steal a march on their numerous young friends today by being joined in wedlock at an early hour, autoing to New Albin and taking the train from there on a honeymoon trip to the Twin Cities. But as the old Scotch adage says, "the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglee," so it was with Ernie and bride, and before they could make their get-away from the Julius Rieth home, where Rev. Kegel tied the knot, three auto loads of serenaders had the house surrounded, and after making merry music and rendering some of the groom's favorite tunes, captured the bride and escorted the happy couple in seperate cars to the outskirts of town, where they were allowed to go in peace and with heartiest congratulations and best wishes, which are joined in by all who know them. The groom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. F. F. Gaunitz, the bride, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Rieth
