The marriage of Fred Beell to Miss Anna Scheuren took place at the Catholic parsonage Tuesday morning, Rev. Fr. John Eisen performing the ceremony. Miss Lily Heidler of this city, and A. B. Sutor of Grand Rapids, attended as bridesmaid and groomsman. Mr. and Mrs. Beell left over the Wisconsin Central after the ceremony for Colby and other points on a short wedding trip after which they will take up their residence here. Fred Beell, champion middle-weight wrestler of the northwest, and probably of the United States, is well-known throughout the state and is recognized as a young man of high character and integrity as well as a marvelous wrestler. His bride is a most estimable young lady and they have the best wishes of many friends.
