Tuesday night, on Eastside, at the
residence of the brides parents, Miss
Mamie d. Anderson was united in
marriage to f. 5. Smith, OF Portland,
Rev. w. S. Crockett performing the
ceremony. They will reside in this
city. The bride is a daughter OF
George Anderson, the expressman, and
the groom has been employed for some
time past at Doane's oyster house and
in Williamson's camp rs a caterer of
creature comforts to his fellow man.
Gov. Mcbride has granted an un.
conditional pardon to George Eman-
uel, who was sent to the Penitentiary
for burglary from Seattle, February 3,
1903, to serve term of eight years.
Emanuel's case is out OF the ordinary.
The entire jury and the trial Judge,
William E. Bell, signed affidavits to
the effect that the man was convicted
wrongfully, while Clarence Preston, a
leading Seattle attorney, and a promi-
nent society women of Madrone Park,
Seattle, appeared in his interests here.
Our people had quite as enjoyable
celebration OF the Fourth as usual,
notwithstanding no formal programme
had been arranged. In fact many de.
clare it was better than ordinary, from
the fact that everybody was free to
celebrate as he saw fit, and had all the
time to himself to do so. The usual
number of fire crackers, booms and
rockets were exploded, with our usual
good luck in escape from fire. Some
OF our people went abroad, but do not
report having had any more enjoy.
ment than they might have at home.
Dick Downs, who came in Monday
from Little Rock on a bicycle, saws
that he was almost killed by a big
black bear which crowded his path
way and attacked him just south of
John Macleod's place. "Dick" was
coming to this city, when bruin which |
he believes weighed 200 pounds, came
out from the underbrush at the side of |
the road directly in front of him. He
saw that he would strike the creature
with his wheel and dismounted quick
ly, when the bear turned upon him,
striking Downs with his paws and
nearly telling him to the ground, but
he was too quick for the animal, how.
ever. and lost no time on getting on
his bike" He says the bear followed
him at least 100 feet. The mans arm
is badly lacerated and confirms his
story OF the encounter.
The city has prepared for operations
OF the dredger by removing the plank
ing on the north side of Long bridge
to Westside. President Fowler, of the
dredging company, says the work of
filling will begin on the 18th. The
fill on Columbia street has not vet
been definitely settled, as the War
Department will have to approve the
plans adopted by the city, before they
become effective. There is an I'M
expended balance that may be made
available for the work, and it is to Sc
cure it that the City Council, at its
last meeting, took the necessary steps
for support from the Chamber of Com
merce and our Congressman to secure
the benefit Of the full appropriation.
Travel between the city and Westside |
will not be interrupted, as the south |
side OF the bridge will be left until the |
fill is completed sufficiently to shift, |
the thoroughfare. Considerable rip.
rap work will have to DO done by the |
city.
