LONG BEACH. April 5.-Eight sailors
from the cruiser South Dakota, coming

The sailors pulled the yawl on the
beach and 1t later was returned to the
ship in tow of a small steamer.
eBdraggled and cold, the sailors
walked down the Pike and out to the
end of the pier, from where they were
taken back to the South Dakota In a
cutter.
A strange story was told on the
WHARF today by seaman named
Wright, who had a mishap and was
caught late last night as he climbed up
the anchor chain of the South Dakota,
after swimming from the pier.
Wright is said to be an expert SWIM
mer and to have used all his skill to
get to shore and back to ship again
several nights after the ship anchored
off the pier. The distance from the yes.
sci to the wharf Is about a mile.
The ship received visitors for short
time this afternoon, but about 8 o'clock
the captain gave orders that no more
|Iandsmen should come aboard as the
Vessel was to go to San Pedro. An
hour later the armored cruiser steamed
across the bay and into the outer
harbor.
Hundreds of people who were waiting
on the outer wharf expecting to go to
the ship were sorely disappointed.

AUSTIN HARMON AND ETHEL DAVIS
RESPOND TO HYMEN'S CALL ON
LAST MONDAY AFTERNOON.

A very simple yet pretty wedding
occurred at the home of DR.. and Mrs.
f. H. Bryant on last MONDAY after
noon, November Is, 1908, when Austin
Harmon and Miss Ethel Davis plight
ed the troths that united their young
lives.
Meath beautiful arch of fragrant
forget-me-nots, fashioned by Mrs. Bry-
ant, the ceremony was said by Rev. j..
S. Russell, pastor of the local Presby-
terian church, and was witnessed by
only a few friends and relatives of the
principals.
The nuptials had been expected and
come as fitting elimination of a
pretty romance, the scene of which ex.
tends over several states, beginning
with the first awakening to the mutual
attachment formed by them back in
the old Kansas home, at Cottonwood
Falls, where they formerly lived, and
has had many trialsto attest the faith
fulness thereof.
The fidelity shown by these young
people reads more like "a chapter from
story book than that of the real oc-
curance in the lives of real people.
Mr.. Harmon has been in poor health
for sometime and has been sent to var
ious states and climes by his physici-

an in the hope that he might thus be
cured. Oftimes he has experienced
reversals, and his life has been des-
paired of. Through it all there was
one who was constantly ministering
to his wants, who never gave up hope
and who gave him courage to make
the good fight until she has been re-
warded by seeing him once more on
the return to health.
The story of sacrifice, devotion and
fidelity is well known and our people
will rejoice at this evidence of their
happiness.
Both the principals are well known
and highly esteemed here. The bride
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. A.
Davis, ofColorado Springs, Colorado
and has been visiting at the DR.. Bry-
ant home for sometime. She is
young lady possessing many rare ac-

Mr.. Harman is the eldest son of Mr..

emplary habits and enjoys the conf
dence and respect of all. He, also, is
a graduate of the Chase County High
