AT A PISTOLS POINT.
How Frederick Hurry Came tc
Marry Emma Squire In the
Silly Night
He Has Never Seen Her Since,
and Wants q Divorce

An interesting suit for divorce
was filed In the county clerks Office
Tuesday. The testimony, when
the case comes to trial, will probably ~
develop some spicy and exciting in.
cidcnts in the courtship and mar.
riage of Fred Hurry, of this city
formerly of Sprlngdale. The case is
No. l,O6s, Fred Hurry VS.. Emma J.
Hurry. The complaint alleges that
the couple were married at Spring
dale, Wash, on the 23d day oi
March, 1890.
In the complaint Fred Hurry al
leges that George Squire, n brother
of the defendant, compelled him to
marry his sister Emma by force,
arms and menaces, and that he only
went through the ceremony through
fear of losing his life. The COM
plaint alleges that he has never
lived with, seen or cohabited with
the defendant.
Hurry, who owns ranch at
Springdale Is well-to-do, Is IA young
man about % years of age. During
last winter he paid considerable at
tention to Miss Squire and took her
to different places of amusement.
He says, however, that he had no
intention of marrying her, was new
er in love with her, and that during
the times he was with her they nev-
er had any improper relations.
On the night of March 23 he was
aroused from his sleep by n couple
of men who wore masks. They
took him from his bed and con
Quoted him to n room where they
made themselves known. One was
George Squire and the other man
who worked on the Squire ranch.
George Squire pulled n pistol and
informed Hurry that lie must
marry his sister or die,
as lie had been intimate with
her. He was then conducted to the
Squire residence and the marriage
ceremony performed by u justice of
the peace. The brother and hired
man stood by ana witnessed the
marriage. Shortly afterward Hurry
made his escape from the house and
hns never been back since. He
moved to Spokane Falls u few days
later and has since resided here.
This is tho story as told by the
plaintiff in the case. The defend
ant, when she appears ON the wit
ness stand, will probably give the
other side of the matter.

A street car incident seems to
illustrate the unconsciousness of APP

ing II crowded car caught the strap
and by chance took her stand direct
ly in front of II lady passenger APP
parently as old as herself.
The possessor of the seat was up
in "a moment.
"Have my seat, madam" she eX-
claimed, with audible courtesy.
"You are older than j am"

other; "I beg a thousand pardons for
contradicting my elder, but indeed,
madam, you are mistaken. Keep

"But am sure you are older than
IT,
"And | am equally sure that |

to resume your placer"
mot while an older woman
stands"
The situation was growing inter-
estlng, but though all smiled, no
one seemed moved to relieve matters
by offering second seat.
Both old persons were pretty well
warmed up by this time. First one
smiled and then the other, as old
ladies sometimes will when sorely
tried.
The vacant seat was still before
them. Finally, an overture of peace
came from the owner of seat, the
last speaker.
II don't want to be disagreeablo,
madam, and If Pm older than you
III sit down. Let's tell our ages
and the older yields"
The aggrieved woman did not
relish this much, but the pressure
of an audience forbade retreat.

WHERE WATERS MEET
Prospective Eden Near the Juno
ton of the Wenatohee and
Columbia.
Building Stone. Fire Clay, Min
eral, and Fruit and Flowers
Are Plentiful.

The Big Bend country, ana
especially that part OF 1t known as
the Wenatchee valley, has great
future before it, said Mr.. Jerome
l.. Drumheller yesterday. "I have
spent ten days IN the valley itself,
and the more have seen of 1t the
more strongly have been inn
pressed by the immenstty of its re-
sources. 1 have identified myself
with its interests by buying con-
siderable property In that locality,
and | have done 10 because lt Is my
judgment that, for several reasons,
the country will far exceed the eN-
pectations of those who have not
seen IL, and run considerably over
those of the casual observer.
zone reason for my opinion is
that the surveys of the route of the
Great Northern all terminate in the
Wenatchee pass. The one that
present circumstances point to rs
the probably accepted route Is de.
signed to run down through the
Cuss creek country. 1t will abound
In easy grades aud will strike the
Columbia river fifty miles below the
mouth of the Wenatchec, and go on
up the valley through the pass.
"Then there is II climate out there
that ought to attract world wide at.
tention. So far this year there has
been no cold weather, and there was
no frosts until the middle of Novem-
Der. The country is located in u
thermal belt aud the climate Is very
genial and mild. There is consider
able very good fruit land, on which
II is possible to produce almost any
thing. From the Similkaneen clear
to the Columbia, all that is needed
are facilities for irrigation to make n
well developed farming country.
II noticed another important
feature in the country and that is its
mineral resources. Here Mr..
Drumheller exhibited specimen of
polished onyx, taken from his prop
erty in the Wenatchee valley, and
continued: "rhere are also several
large lodges of building stone of very
fine quality. 1t Is of the formation
known as hydromica slate, some
times called tulicosa slate. 1t Is
made up of so per cent. of silica, 20
per cent. of aluminium. and the re-
naming 25 per cent. of iron, aka
lies and water. 1t Is very firm, Is
absolutely without grain, and test
recently made shows that 1t is cap
able of resisting continuous heat OF
a very high degree. a local metal
lurgist tested "a small sample of the
slate recently. 1t was subjected to
q heat of $500 degrees Fahrenheit.
The only change manifested was u
slight alteration in the color, which
turns from light slate or drab to a
beautiful pink. 1t does not scale
off and does not lose its power of re-
sistence. This Is due, the metal
lurgist says, to its extreme compact
ness OF construction and to the
presence of large proportion of
alumina. The fact Is. that the stone
is rare commodity and its use will
open II new era in the age of perma-
nent provement.

deposits of fire clay" continued Mr..
Drumhellcr. at is of II fine quality,

Lewiston's Railroad.

Slowly the railroad grades on
circle the city, says the Lewiston
Teller. There are but few breaks
now in the line of embankment
along the Clearwater side. At one
or two points the question of right
OF way still delays the completion.
These places are, however, being
arbitrated upon this week. Engin-
eer Van Arsdal is here closing the
controversy. Owing to similar de-
lays along the line elsewhere, and
delays caused in crossing the reser-
walton, the road will be kept out
this winter but is expected here
early in the spring.
One who has seen the plans and
specifications of the new railroad
buildings to be erected here in the
spring claims that they are elegant
and commodious. The structures
will be of brick, built in the latest
design. Lewiston will secure the
shops and roundhouse, and be made
the end of a division. 1t Is also re-
ported on good authority that the
Northern Pacific will run out two
branch lines from this point next
year, one to Camas Prairie and
another into the Seven Devils min
ing district. Lewiston will be made
the scene of active operations next
wear.

Tho N. 2. Cutoff.

The Cnur d'Alene Miner says;
The last raj on the Northern Pacific
cutoff between NIissoula and the
Cmur d'Alene country will soon
have been laid. The Idaho portion
of the road, extending to the sum
NIT of the Bitter Root range, Is
surfaced and in iirst-class condition.
From Missoula about seventy-nve
miles extending west has been ac-
cepted by the company. About
twenty miles of the road, from the
summit east, has been hastily built,
citer some snow had fallen and the
rains had set in.
1t seems reasonable to expect the
Northern Pacific to some day make
this its main line, or at least COLI
meet IL with the western division.
But all that we can hope for soon
Is that broad gauge road will be
operated between Wardner june
tion and NIissoula. AS it is, the
road will be OF immense benefit to
the Cnur d'Alene country. We
now have an outlet, east and west,
over broad gauge track. 1t does
away with all transfers. 1t brings
Montana and the East 200 miles
closer. 1t places our country, so far
as railroad facilities are concerned,
upon an equal footing with the fa-
vored localities of the West, for we
have competing lines, both belong
ing to powerful corporations and
both seeking business.
