weddings of the season, when at
noon Sunday November 9Th, Mr..

Leota Armstrong were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony, in the
presence of number of friends and
relatives.
At high noon the bride and groom
marched in, taking their place in
front of the south window, where
the sunlight intermingled with the
beautiful costumes of bride and
groom, showing that even nature
bestowed her blessing upon the
happy surroundings, filling every
body with JOY undesirable.
Then the Rev. Mr.. Chandler STEP
ped forward and performed the
ceremony which made the contract
ing parties man and wife and be-
slowed upon them very appropri-
ate blessing, after which all gather
ed around beautiful prepared table
which fairly groaned under the
weight of eatables where all seemed
to do ample justice and humor
reigned supreme.
The bride wore beautiful gown
of white French serge and looked
very beautiful. The groom wore
the convential black.
The newly welded couple are
residents Of Pomeroy, Wash, near
which place they will make their
future home.
After the usual shower of rice
they departed on No. 4 for tour
of Spokane and other eastern cities.
They received many beautiful pre-
sents which were highly appreciat-
eds
Those present were: Messrs. w.

TRAIN HURLS UNKNOWN
MAN FROM BRIDGE

An unknown man while trying
to board a moving freight train on
the bridge yesterday, was knocked
from the structure and drowned in
the whirling water below. J. a.
Johnson, a laborer who talked with
him at the Pasco end of the bridge,
describes him as mechanic about
2S years old, dressed in black suit
with soft shirt and light colored tie.
He was sandy completed and had a
light short mustache. - He claimed
to live two miles above Kenncwick
and was returning home from Port
land.
The body has not been recovered
and all effort to identify him have
thus far failed. Diligent in
quiry by telephone among peopl,
west of town failed to find anyone
missing, and the supposition is that
he was tramping west of town t.
the ditch camp in search of work.
The conductor and breakman of
the train saw him swimming and
keeping himself above water for
about 100 yards below the bridge
but he than suddenly disapeard
from sight, and no efforts to save
him could be given in time though
the locomotive whistled long and
loud to attract attention to the acci-
dent.
D. c. Davis, the district claim
agent of the Northern Pacific, has
been in town today looking up all
the facts he could with reference to
the affair but has been unable to un-
ravel the mystery.

GEO. {. FINLEY WINS
THE GUESSERS PRIZE
POETRY FOR GOOD MEASURE
PUTNAM SECOND

All right but Missouri is the guess
that wins the Five Dollars offered
by the Courier for the closest guess
on the electoral vote. The winner
is George E. Finley of Finley. He
accompanied his coupon guess with
the following poetry
Wouldn't l laugh with fiendish
glce
IF should happen to win that
'V'"
md it is a forcgone conclusion that
a man that man that could write
such poetry as that is enough of a
'cer and prophet to win any old
election guessing contest. Mr.. Fin
ley guessed As states correctly, his
only error was in assigning Missouri
to Bryan when it was carried by
Taft by small majority. The Sec
ond prize goes to Stanley Putnam of
Rockford, Illinois who guessed II
states right and wrong.
Quite number were in third,
43 states right and wrong. Fred
L. Watson, Richard Mounscy, NJ.
H. Church, c. Pudcrpaugh and
Miss Emma Caha, each submitted
guess entitling them to third rank.
The rest of the gucsses vary from
four states wrong to the guess of a
enthusiast who assigned
all the votes to Bryan.
