buque. 1awo. young lady this spring,
when John Il. Wandell, an enlisted man
in the hospital corps OF Fort Mckinley.
Portland harbor, received an unexpected
visit from his sweetheart about a month

also Is stationed at Fort Mckinley, was
at deaths door and wished to see her.
Miss Annie Gruetmaker. for thai. IS her
name. lost no time in packing her grip
to start East. She struck the Forest
City at midnight, and after some diffi-
Guilty engaged q motor boat TO take her
to the fort. There she learned that the
mcSsaC &c was only 4 hoax. Her brother
was alive and well. But her lover was
no less glad to see her, and circumstances
being propitious arrangements were made
for a wedding. This took place Wednes-
day at the city clerks office. There were
but two witnesses. one a Fort Mckinley
sergeant, and the other a new-found ac-
qIaintance of the bride.
