MARRIED

Observation-Disclosures Fri
day, January 10, 1900, in the city of
Spokane, Mr.. John Armstrong and
Miss Elsie Landry, both Of Adams
county.
To many friends and acquaintance
Of the contracting parties the wedding
was happy surprise, but the program
as previously arranged by Miss Landry
was not carried out to the letter.
However, we believe "all's we'll that
ends WE'LL" and the News extends
hearty congratulations to the young
couple who have every opportunity to
make their surroundings pleasant
and their married life happy. Both
have many true friends here and are
highly respected by all who know
them intimately.
As the incident hardly has parallel,
SO far as the change in husband-to- be
is concerned, the following excerpt
from the Spokesman-Review narrates
the interesting proceedings while the
wedding party were in that city:
"a romantic little love story with a
tinge of melodranla in it is revealed in
several occurances in the CITY within
the last four days. 1t is the story of
true love triumphant and woman's
will and the hero and the heroine are
now happily married and have gone
to their home in Ritzville.
The occurrences that are known in
chronological order are something like
this:
William Piltz, handsome young
giant about 20 years old who works in
the N. P. shops at Missoula, Mont,
last summer visited Ritxville and
there met Miss Elsie Landry, step
daughter OF John Mcdonald, a retired
stockman, who is one of wealthiest
men OF Adams county. She lived with
her parents on the ranch on Cow
creek, II miles south Of Ritzville. She
is bright and attractive girl about
IS years OF age, and has large circle
OF friends among the best people OF
the city. Then he returned to Mon
tana.
Last Tuesday Piltz came to Spokane
from Missoula and registered at the
Pedicord hotel. He was accompanied
by his brother.
The following day Miss Landry ar
rived in the city from Ritzville with
her mother, Mrs. Mcdonald, and a
married sister. They registered at
the same hotel.
The same day u marriage license
was issued to Piltz and Miss Landry.
On Thursday morning preparations
were made for an informal marriage
ceremony in the Pedicord parlors.
Rev. Cool was summoned and had ar
rived and the parties were all gathered
in the parlors when the pretty young
bride-elect suddenly refused to go on
with the ceremony and, to the dismay
OF the love-sick groom. she quickl y
broke off the engagement, his hopes
and all else and ran from the room.
The next chapter is the issuance of
a marriage license to John Armstrong
IF Ritsville, and Elsie Landry yester.
day morning and the finale was their
marriage by DR.. Cool at IL o'clock in
the morning and their return to Ritz
vile last evening.
John Armstrong is a prosperous
young stockman living on Cow creek
about three miles from the Mcdonald
place. He came to Spokane the same
day as Miss Landry.
The blanks in this story do not need
written statement OF facts for none
is obtainable."

in which he claims that in an article
written for the REGISTER by me an In
Justice was done to the memory OF the
late Col. w. A. Morgan. am sorry the
writer has taken this view of my letter.
The article referred to was nothing more
than a review of the services rendered
by Mumford's Brigade and its comman-
der from Winchester to AppomattoX.
Officers and privates of the Mumford
Brigade are alike deserving of the high
est praiSe--One no more than another
The private soldier does not always get
the praise he deserves. Too much can
not be said of him who carried the mus
ket or handled the sponge staff.
Was it not the private soldier at Fred
ericksburg that held Marye's Heights
and hurled back Burnside's army and
drenched its slopes in blood? Was it not
the private soldier that faced Grant in
the Wilderness and rolled back his col
umns and decorated the forest in blue
Was it not the boys who carried the car
bine of Fitz Lees division that held Cen
eral Warren's corps of infantry at Spott-
sylvania Courthouse until relieved by
the corps of Longstreet-but not until
the flower of Lees division lay dead up
on the field
