sent, and, after the ceremony, they sat
down to dainty supper and enjoyed a
very pleasant evening. The bride is a
sister of Mrs. F. E. Creech and Mrs. J

well known rustler OF the Pacific trans

A case from Hoquiam, on change of
venue, was before Judge Pearson yester-
day. The action was to recover a bicycle,
but the rights of the Hoquiam justice of
the peace and constable to act as such is
questioned, and Judge Pearson took I'M
dera dvisement motion to dismiss, for
the reason that if the court from which
the change OF venue was taken had no
jurisdiction this court could get none
from papers sent up by an incompetent
court. AS the decision on the motion
will decide the validity of the actions of
the Hoquiam officials, Judge Pearson
concluded to look the matter up before
deciding.

The committee on the removal of the
county seat held a meeting Friday after
noon in this city. Members were pres.
ent from Hoquiam and Cosmopolis, and
the prospect for united action for the
removal was reported bright in both
those cities. Mr.. Soule reported the &C.
ton of the Hoquiam Commercial Club
which accepted the proposition mabe by
Aberdeen, and Mr.. McFarlane, of Co.'S
mopolis, said his town appeared to be
solid in favor Of the proposition. The
attorneys of the Harbor were appointed
as legal committee, to look up the
legal status of the matter and prepare
the petition to the county commissioners
asking the question to be submitted to
a vote.
On the arrival of the s-eamer Chehalis,
Sunday morning, one OF the passengers,
l.. M. Nelson, was found dead in his
berth. Coroner SHIFTS was called and
found that death was due to natural
causes, and the body was taken to the
undertaking pallors of Beardsley Bros.
The deceased was apparently about &c
years of age, and was evidently in good
circumstances financially, as $3.50 in
cash and certificate of deposit for So 800,
as we'll as lot of oil stocks, was found
on his person. From letters found
among his effects, it was learned that he
was from Colorado Springs, Col, where
