A Pretty Affair.

last WeQneS0aE evening. The nall was beautifully decorated with smilax flowers and bunting. The altar end of the hall was arranged in the old mis- sion style of arches. with fine floral bells hung at different heights. Along the aisle cn either side was line of smilaX-wound posts. each crowned with bunch of beautiful calla lillies, while ropes of smilax hung from one to the other.
 McCafferty's orchestra was concealed behind screen of smilax. and never did Mendelssohn's. wedding march sound more beautiful as it poured forth from behind this bank of green.
 Little Irene Blaisdell preceded the bride in the march, carrying heart- shaped cushion of the Elks' colors; on this rested the wedding ring. The bride wore magnificent Princess gown of cream SapphO satin, with drop yoke of tule and deep lace. The long tule bridal veil was clasped to the hair with bunch of orange blossoms: she car ried white roses. Her gown was by Heating, of Los Angeles.
 The bride was attended by Mrs. Geo. Talley and Miss Gertrude Priest, both of whom wore beautiful gowns of white trimmed with pale green silk and ap- plique. Mir. John DOan acted as best man to Mr. Lee, and A. T. Pancrazi and Ben. C. Heyl were the ushers: they were attircd in regulation full dress.
 During the ceremony Mrs. GilrOy rendered 70 Promise Me" from the concealed orchestra corner which add ed materially to the beautiful scene be- ing enacted. After Rev. J. A. Crouch had administered the VOWS Exalted Rnler James H. Graham congratulated the happy couple for the lodge. A short reception was held in the hall immedi- ately after the wedding and the con- gratulatiOns of those present were heartily extended.
 Mrs. Ira r. Smith, Mrs. Herbert Brown and lame, H. Graham person ally supervised the decoration work. assisted by committee of Elks.
 The presents, which came from many parts of the country, were too numer- ous for individual mention, but among the most beautiful was the grOOm's gift to the bride of beautiful satin gold locket with large diamond setting. The lodge presented a magnificent handmade, sterling silver tea set with the data of the affair engraved on the several pieces.
 Mir. Lees employer and fellow em- ployes were the donors of massive cut glass punch bowl and eight cups of same material to match. The brides maids and attendants each received a handsome snake bracelet of silver, with the letters $. l.. engraved on the snakes head in gold, as gifts from the bride, while the groom presented his attendants with scarf pins of pearls.
 This event was one long to be re- membered by Yuma society. Mr. and Mrs. Lee will leave in a short time for Tucson. where MT. Lee goes to assume the management of the clothing and furnishing department of L. Zecken- dOrf &C Co.
 Charley Meadows, Charley Cowles and Gus Olinder returned yesterday from ten days trip to the lower Colo rado. They report fishing to have been unusually good, and that spawning sea bass, weighing from 70 to so each, could be had for the taking. They caught seven immense turtles and killed one seal. As the weather was fine they went as far down as San Felipe, about 45 miles below Montague Island. At that place they recovered part of the goods stolen from them on a previous trip down the river. The thieves, they as certained, were four heboes from Yuma but thus far three only have been ac- counted for, and it is believed that the fourth was killed and his body secreted by his companions. The three then endcavOred to cross the California des- ert to Calexico, but in doing so one of them, man with a wooden leg, was abandoned. Later he was found by AIr. H. A. Jenkins, who happened to be passing that way with team. The man had stripped off his clothing and had apparently laid himself down to die. From San Felipe the Meadows party went to an onyx quarry that had been known to Cowles for the past ten years and brought away number of fine specimens. One weighing about 900 pounds they shipped by way of Ca lexico. A small specimen is on exhibi- tiOn at the Gandolfo. This class of onyx is said to be particularly fine.
