MARRIAGE BY PROXY ANNULLED.
THE MATRIMONIAL VENTURES OF MRS. sTAHLr BORN
REUBER.
Jan Willem Abrams de Vletter began some
time ago in the Supreme Court an action to obtain d.
vorce annulling marriage entered into by him
with woman named Loune stahl. It is al
legged that Louine Reuber, in this, city in
1886. married Herman stahl After tho
marriage the married couple went to Dusseldorf Ger
many where they lived together until 1868. In 1870
Mr. Stahl came back TO the United States and about
1879 began an action for absolute divorce from his wife,
on the ground that she living with another man IN
Germany. The courts granted the divorce and de
cree prohibited Mrs. stahl from marrying again. Not
long after the divorce Mrs. stahl fell In with
Herr Vletter, who lived In Rotterdam, and they
agreed to marry. Mrs. Stahl to New-York and then
Herr Vetter, not being able to follow her. gave power
Of attorney to william NJ Pauer to marry her by proxy.
Mrs stah described In the marriage contract the
widow OF Herman Sah The power OF attorney Ia very
formidable document, and authorizes Mr. Pauer to make
Mrs Stahl the wife OF Herr Vletter In the
face OF oil the witnesses and all the Judges
ard executive Judicial, religious and other officers tho
United States and to promise for Herr Vetter the same
fidelity to the marriage relation which Herr Yleter
any other man could or ever did promise On Mayo,
fore the Rev. Francis j. Schneider and marriage by
proxy took place. In June Mrs yetIer went to Roter
DAM where she WAS received by her husband.
The realities Of married life with Herr Vleter did not

back to NewYOrk She hal not been here long before
she made the acquaintance OF Frederick Sahfed The
acquaintance, in December, 1877, rpenet into a
riage This much for the patience even OF
citizen of Rotterdam and Herr Vlette began action
to have his marriage celebrated with Mis- Stah declared
illegal and void. Herr Yettor complains that the de-
PENDANT had done him greviOus marrying him
in violation Of the prohibition in the decree OF divorce
obtained against her by Herman stah and
moreover. in deserving him TO live with Fred
erck sahfeld. The defendant in her answer to
the complaint denies all the material charges made
against her The referred 10 H. j. DOnnelly
referee Neither Mrs. Veter nor Mrs. stah, nor any
person by any appeared before the referee. Mr..
Won Brmsen. the attorney for Herr Vletter testified
that the defendant told him that she thought she had
right TO marry Herr Yletter because Mr. Stah had ob
tanned hrs divorce from her by OF false testimony,
and that she thought she had a right TO marry Mr..
Sahlied because her marriage with Herr Yetter
not valid. Tie referee found that the allegations the
complaint true. and Justice DOBOhue, yesterday,
confirmed the report and granted decree annuDg the
marriage.

For the ENTERPRISE.

For the ENTERPRISE.
FERNDALE, April 25. 1889
wish to call the attention Of the pub
lie, or the settlers OF Whatcom county, to
an article in the Puget Sound Mail, which
was written by an anonymous subscriber,
who without question is mill owner, for
he seems perfectly Mortified a! the thought
that his grab game must soon come to an
end. 1t is well known that since the ems
actment of the timber law over million
acres of the best land around the Sound
has come into the possession OF the mill
owners. and you have only to look at the
Puget Sound Mail to see that twenty
quarter sections are sold TO the null
owners (or to their tools, which IS the
same thing) to one being taken by bona
fide settler.
Now, here is a problem which it would
be we'll for every settler in Whatcom
county to think over and decide for him.
SELF Which would be most to his inter-
EST, W ltt Tue inlll up All INC
best land in tho country, and hold it so
long as there was a stick of timber on it
worth cutting, which would be nearly
thirty years, so we might possibly by that
time have ten thousand inhabitants in
Whatcom county; or for the United
States Government to sell it to some reli-
able railroad company, whose principal
aim would be to make the road a paying
road, and consequently would sell the
land cheaply and on easy terms, and in
thia way settle up the country quickly.
And this would enable the company to
build in Whatcom county large mari-
time commercial city. And then, instead
of Whotcom county having 10000 inhab-
itants in thirty years, 1t would have
have 200. 900 in ten years.

NOOKSACK NEWS ITEMS.
Correspondence ENTERPRISE.


VALLEY OF THE NooKsAcK, April 25.-
Activity seems to pervade the whole
Ncoksack country. Cabins and more
pretentious structures are springing up
on every side New settlers continue to
come. New claims are being located.
All is stir, hustle, life. Many first go to
the land office at Olympia, find what
land remains unoccupied, file homestcads
or pre- emptiors, then come, having noth-
ing to do but ascertain where their claims
are This is rather novel way but it
has its advantages Time and expense
are both saved and there is really little
danger of making mistakes, rs the land is
all good. There is but little of what is
called fir ridge land. That of course is
the least productive, but for fruit growing
and genera! gardening it is much liked.
Although multitude of people are
finding their way to our valley, yet there
is room. Why2 Because the whole valley
can be utilized for agricultural and
grazing purposes. There is no land that
needs remain waste.
Those who have followed the trail up
the river from Nooksack Crossing all con-
cur in telling OF regions of wondrous
beauty bordering on the river among the
foothills Sometimes the stream is hem
med IN by hills. Again the hills seem to
recede from the banks leaving long
stretches of open and exceedingly fertile
land. Sometimes these openings rise
gradually from the stream to benches, on
which the finest and most valuable timber
in Western Washington is found. None
of these valleys have yet been surveyed,
but doubtlessly will be very soor.
At the forks of the Nooksack some
eight or ten miles above Nooksack Cross
ing there is quite an extent OF the land
have mentioned, and from reports it
must indeed be fine. Quite a number OF
Indians have for years lived there. To
them it is possessed of rare attractions.
Being near the hills, game is very a'un>
dant, and the finest salmon and trout are
always plenty. They are becoming fear
full that the whites will find their para
disc and they will have to leave. They
would fain in some way be secured in its
possession, but the whites are pushing
their way quite up to the foothills now.
Lyndcn is not at all behind in enter
prise. The site for town has been sur
veyed and staked into lots. Clearing is
in progress. 1t is beautiful place, and
l hope 1t may yet become thriving
town. The Colony's logging camp at
Lynden IS progressing finely. Two stores,
those of Mr.. Hawlcy and Mr.. Ii. NJ.
Goodell, are working at high pressure,
having to keep busy to supply the con-
stantly increasing demand for goods.
A cheerful, hopeful spirit pcrvades the
whole community, and no doubt skill and
industry will soon devclope this isir re-
glon. The NORTHWEST ENTERPRISE is
gaining many friends. GLAUD.
