Mrs. n. |. Freely Severely Hurt

On last Monday afternoon as Mrs.
H. L. Freely, an old and well=knowr
resident Of Ritzville, was in the act
of entering the First National Bank
she was accidentally crowded off the
high stone steps and fell quite heavi-
ly to the concrete pavement below.
As she is quite a large woman the
fall was the more severe and resulted
in dislocated wrist, a broken fore
arm, a badly lacerated head and a
quite severely bruised body. Being
well along in years she was unable to
exert herself much to break the force
of the fall and, it is feared by her
friends, will be some time recovering.
The accident is regretted by everybody
and Mr.. and Mrs. Freely have the
sympathy and kindly good will Of
every one.

Is there a Wheat Buyers Combine?

Farmers in the vicinity of Ritz
vile. WASH, believe that the wheat
buyers are in COLLISION to cut the price
of wheat on the pretense, that the de-
cline is the result of financial furry"
says Err. Ward, who has but returned
from trip through the Big Bend
country as agent for Hayden Lake
irrigated lands.
lone OF the buyers admitted to
farmer in my presence, said Mr.. Ward.
that the buyers were trying to induce
him to join them in reducing the price
to 90 cents. A day or two before 72
cents had been offered, and no buyer
had offered less than 10 cents. 1t is q
strange thing farmers saw, that higher
prices are being paid at nearly every
town in the Big Bend than at Ritz
vile. But farmers are not going to
sell until they get their price. Little
wheat around Ritzville has been sold,
and the farmers as a rule are able to
hold it until the price suits them.
They know that the buyers must come
to them, if they bide their time.

wheat movement conditions are excel
lent in the Big Bend. Just as soon 20
the wheat moves again there will be
plenty of money and business
will be better than it has ever been

LOVE WILL FIND A WAY
Cupid OutwitS the Stern Parent in the
Case of May FOde and B. Phillips

Tuesday in the Jodge's chambers of
the County Court House in the pre-
sence of the immediate friends and
relatives of the interested parties and
in the presence of the court officials,
May Fode and Bert Phillips, both of
Ritzville, were united in marriage by
Justice W.K. Kennedy. The ceremony
was performed at g. 80 in the after
noon and the young couple will make
| their residence in Ritzville where
both are well and favorably known.
A wedding bell of elegant design
ard appropriate tints was presented
by County Clerk S. d. Douglass and
this symbol of future joys hung over
the heads Of the contracting parties
as the venerable justice pronounced
the magic words, County Attorney
c. w. Rathhun came forward with
an elegant present consisting of
set of silverwarc and many other
presents less costly were contributed
by admiring friends Quite a little
romance is interviewer with this bit
of matrimonial history and lesson
may be learned therefrom which it
would be well for other Ritzville
SWANS, who have been doomed to dis
appointment in the past, to ponder
well and renewing their persistence,
try, try again. The young people have
been lovers for some time past but the
paternal Mr.. Fode opposed the marri-
age AMI owing to the fact that Mary
lacked nearly years growth before
reaching the coveted eighteenth year,
there was dilemma to be faced. But
willing hearts, combined with the
shrewdness and cunning of lawyers,
pointed way out Of the labarynth of
difficulties and straightway petition
was filed in the Superior Court asking
for the appointment of w. C. Guenther
as guardian for the girl, and alleging
that Carl Fode was not a fit and
proper person to act as such guardian.
At the hearing on the petition this
morning the showing made satisfied
the court as to the correctness of the
allegations and Guenther was appoint,
ed guardian. Guenther was willing
for the girl to be married and bis
consent made possible the procurement
of the coveted license and once again
sly Cupid outwitted the wisdom of
paternity, broke down the barriers
which separated loving hearts and
made another mark on the pages of
the county's history
