S.U.I. ROMANCE IS SHATTERED AT ALTAR

The story comes to this city of the shattered romance of two former students of the University of Iowa, Miss Freda J. Beaver of Ida Grove and Hugh Val Harn or Mason City. The wedding of these two young people who are well known in this city was to have taken place Monday, Sept. 1, but after all arrangements were made to the smallest detail, the groom created no little stir by failing to appear. Invitations had been sent out, a number of showers and social functions had been given in honor of the prospective bride. The wedding breakfast ready and the groom was scheduled to arrive Saturday, Aug. 30. The bride was at the station to meet her future spouse but he failed to put in an appearance. Later trains did not bring him and no reason came for his non-appearance. Miss Beaver finally reached the young man's office by telephone but was told he was too busy to talk. A second call brough the information that he "did not care to talk." So far the bride, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Will A. Beaver, and guests can find no explanation for the action of the bridegroom. The newspapers of Ida Grove, the bride's residence, have hurled the name of "cad" and "coward" at the former Hawkeye student and the whole community seems thoroughly indignant over the occurrence

JILTED ON WEDDING DAY.
Ida Grove Girl Is Humiliated by Mason City Man

Ida Grove, Sept. 11. --Romance received a hard blow here and one of the prominent young women of the town was left with badly lacerated feelings when a love affair, begun at the State University of Iowa, had an unexpected denouncement.
Miss Freda J. Beaver, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will A. Beaver was to have been married to Hugh Val Harn, of Mason City. Invitations had been issued, numerous prenuptials held, and arrangements were complete for the ceremony and the wedding breakfast at the Hotel Baxter.
The groom was to arrive on an early train and Miss Beaver was there to meet him. The train came, but no bridegroom, and thinking that he might have missed connections, the bride-to-be waited for the next train from Mason City. When he failed to appear on this one as well, she called up his office, but was told that he was very busy and asked to call later. When she made the second call, Harn refused to talk.
So far, the bride, her parents and the guests who had been Invited to the wedding are able to provide no explanation for the action of the expected bridegroom.
