M. Ringer and wife, were married
at Almota, Washington, on Janu-

Yesterday marked the goth ami

it was duly celebrated at their home
just east oftown, last evening, when
a number of relatives and friends
gathered to wish the couple many
more years of conjugal bliss.
The manly groom and his blush

HurleY.Peterson.

Yesterday morning, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Wag-
ner, on Paradise street, Rev. DR..
Hays performed the ceremony that
made Miss Marie Peterson the bride
of Mr. Jack Hurley. The nuptial
knot was tied 1T 8. 80 o'clock, in the
presence of few friends, and was
followed by a wedding breakfast
served by Mrs. Wagner.
The bridal couple left on the
Northern Pacific train at 1850 for
Spokane, on brief bridal trip, and
later will go to Moscow, where they
will make their home. The bride,
who has resided in Pullman from
early childhood, has for a number
of years past been the efficient and
capable operator of the telephone
exchange, and her many friends
shower their best wishes upon the
couple. Mr.. Hurley is an employe
of the Northern Pacific, making his
headquarters at Moscow, although
his many visits to Pullman have
made him numerous friends.
The HERALD offers congratula
tons and best wishes.
