Helix Mans Fourth attempt at, Mar
riage Ends Successfully.

Helix Mans Fourth attempt at Mar
riage Ends Successfully.
A special dispatch sent out to met
ropolitan daily newspapers the past
week, gives a graphic description of
the matrimonial vicissitudes of Alfred
Sandow, of Helix.
The dispatch relates that Sandow,
after trying three years to win a wife,
has seen the realization of his long
cherished dream, though not without
much worry and the useless expendi-
ture of large sums of money. The
marriage ceremony was performed at
Helix Saturday afternoon, the bride
being Miss Bertha Gains, recently
of Sedalia, Mo. Three years ago he
applied to a matrimonial bureau in
the east for "fine young wife, !"
and in short time a dashing young
woman landed in Helix, seeking the
husband of her choice. When they
met, however, the woman was not
impressed with her prospective
spouse, but she apparently was
satisfied and consented to marry.
Sandow presented her with fine
lot.of elegant clothes and check it
is said for $1,000. The marriage
license was secured and all was ready
for the wedding. At the appointed
hour the bride-to-be failed to appear
and upon immediate inquiry it was
found that the woman had disappear
ed. She has not been heard from
since.
Last year he met with similar ex-
perience but did not lose as much in
this deal. During the early part OF
the present year another attempt
was made to secure wife through
an agency but the subject upon ac-
quainting herself with the harness
maker decided that she would return
to her home in the east. She left after
a marriage license had been secured.
A month ago Sandow was visited
by John Adams a recent arrival from
Missouri. The latter told SandoW
of the winning qualities of his sister
in-law Miss Gains, and the HELIX
man became intensely interested. Ht
offered Adams fee of $500 if ht
| would induce Miss Gains to come tC
Oregon and consent to become hi!
wife. Overtures were at once made
and the young lady arrived two weeks
ago.
Captain Isaacs, postmaster at He'll,
performed the ceremony in the pres
ence of few friends. Sandow is now
the happiest man in Helix, though hi
has spent small fortune in the at
tempt to secure wife. The county
records show that he has obtained
four marriage licenses within the past
three years.

FOOTBALL GAMES.

First Team, o; Weston, 1I-Second
Team, 3; PendIeton, II
Both the first and second Athena
football teams have now withstood
the grilling of the gridiron. The first
team played Weston Saturday after
noon, meeting defeat by score of Ii
to 0, and the second team played the
Pendletonians to standstill Sunday,
though being beaten by score of i 1
/ to 5.
In both games the Athena boys were
out played by opposing teams of
h5avier weight. The Weston game
was hotly contested, the team over the
hill scoring, making two touchdowns
and goal in the first ten minutes of
the game. After that the lighter
team held their opponents down in
admirable style, in the last half the
ball being in Weston's territory much
of the time. The game served to de-
velop the weak points in the Athena
lineup and edged up the team in a
real workout.
This team leaves Wednesday evening
for La Grande where on Thanksgiving
day it plays the Athletic club team of
that town. The schedule of games
for the season to be played by the
team follows:
Athena at La Grande, Nov. 30;
Pendleton at Athena, Dec. 8; Walla
Walla at Athena, Dec. 10; Weston at
Athena, Dec. IS; La Grande at Athe-
ma, Dec. 25 Athena at Walla Walla,
Jan. 1 Athena at Pendleton, Jan. s.
The Athena second team had a
cracking good lineup in the Pendle-
ton game and showed that it is cap
able of playing good, clean game.
The first half was consumed in gilt
edge foot ball playing, with no scor-
ing. In the second half the heavier
Pendleton players could not keep the
Athena light weights from scoring a
touchdown, after which Pendleton
made two touchdowns and kicked
goal. The members of the team speak
in the highest terms of the splendid
treatment accorded them by the Pen
dleton boys.

The turning over of 200 empty cars
at Huntington to the o. r. & N. does
not in the least tend to relieve the
threatened coal famine which has for
some time been causing anxiety
throughout Eastern Oregon. The
car shortage has nothing in common
with the scarcity Of fuel. Report from
the coal company in Wyoming,
which supplies this territory shows
that it is flooded with orders and is
now behind 1000 carloads. The same
story comes from mines in Washing

MARKED FOR LIFE
MOSCOW FRESHMAN CAPTURED
BY s0PHOM0REs.
Silver Nitrate Leaves It's Indelible
Stain on the Victims Forehead
and Back of His Hand

The barbarous cruelties of college
hazing is by no means confined to the
big educational institutions of the east.
Our sister state, Idaho, gives to the
world news of clever and classical
bit of savagery perpetrated by students
of the State University at Moscow.
Reports say that warfare has been
raging between the sophemores and
freshmen at the State University
with bitterness and hatred. The
rumor became current Saturday
morning that as result of Thursday
nights fight, Jay Jellick, of Idaho
Falls, freshman at the University
of Idaho, had sustained injuries that
would disfigure him for life.
In the conflict it is understood that
Jay Jellick was captured. The
sophomores, in Indian fashion, seem
to have come expressly prepared to
torture any victim which might fall
into their hands as captive.
They had prepared a solution of
nitrate of silver, and this they applied
upon the face and hands of Jellick.
Upon the two cheeks of the unfortu-
nate freshman, upon his forehead,
and upon the back of one hand they
burned the brand of their class num-
Der, the figure 'OS. Jellick upon his
release consulted physician, and
rumor has it that a permanent scar
would be left by reason of the prepar
alton applied.
A reporter called at the home of
Mr.. Jellick and sought an interview,
but he was noncommittal. From Mr..
Jellick the reporter learned that he
consulted DR.. Thompson, of the hos
pital, and made his way thence to
learn the facts. While waiting in a
corner in the upper hallway for the
doctor, courier sped up the stairs,
halted at the top and asked to see the
doctor Immediately. The doctor ap-
preached, and was informed by him
that reporter would call upon him
to learn the history of the fight but
not to tell him anything. The mes
sage to the doctor could be plainly
heard.
