MARRIED.-At:the Catholic Church
in Olympia, Sept. 22nd, William Lee
Compile to Miss Emma Erickson, both
OF Shelton. The wedding was private
and the. happy couple came down on
the evening boat and surprised most
of their friends in town, but were the
subject of general congratulations.
Mr.. LeCompte is quiet and industri-
Gus young man, who has made many
friends during his several years spent
IN this vicinity. The bride is a daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jonas Erickson,
whose farm is a. short distance below
Shelton, on the bay. In company with
her sisters she has been conducting
the Shelton Laundry for the past year.
The happy couple have purchased the
household goods of H. j. Wehnes, and
have moved into their already furnish
ed home and begun the even. tenor of
sta id married life, and happy one.
In the case of ]. E. Sigh, appellant,
VS.. The Shelton Southwestern Rail
road Company ct al, defendants, w.
II Knee1and, receiver of the Shelton
Southwestern Railroad Company ct
al, respondents, from Mason County,
the supreme court has reversed the de-
cision of the lower court of Mason
County, and given the plaintiff iudg-
ment. This is known as the Hunt &
Mottet case, and the original judg-
ment amounted to over 500, and, we
believe, was assigned to Mr.. Sigh.
He is considerable of s'stayer," and
has finally won out on this case, and
has earned bis reward. Mr.. Sigh has
another case against the Shelton
Southwestern, which is yet under con-
sideration by the supreme court.
H. J.. Wehnes has sold out his barber
shop to VIM Smith, a welI-known
Olympia barber. who has taken charge.
Mr.. Wehnes is arranging his affairs
to leave for an extended visit to his
former home in Council Bluffs, Iowa,
and with his relatives in Michigan
tie thinks he may find some suitable
location there and would remain back
East, but we think he will not find
any country again which will suit him
so well as Puget Sound and predict
that he will be back again in year,
or two years at most. They all come
back to us. However, Mr.. and Mrs.
Wehnes have made many friends dur
ing their stay in Shelton and we regret
to see them leave It's, although salts
fed that they will return in the future.
Their household goods have been sold
to VIM. Lecompte, who has moved in
to their house.
