theatre purposes, giving a theatre 60

RANCH WOMAN HAS GOOD
WATER SUPPLY
Mrs. Hodges of the Nachcs to Install
Pumping and Air Pressure System
On Her Home Place.

Mrs Harriet Evans Hodges, who
has a home in the Naches, nine miles
from this city, is installing a pump
ing apparatus and an air pressure
tank to supply artesian well water
to all parts OF her house, to give a
fire protection supply and to furnish
water to the buildings devoted to the
stock. This is modern equipment anC
indicates that Mrs. Hodges intends 20
carry on her work on an advanced
scale.
An interesting thing has been dem
onstrated by her undertaking. In
searhcing for water she had Il. NJ
Churchill drill "a well on her property
which is on the bench in that section.
At 80 feet Mr.. Churchill found an
ample supply of water for all possible
needs, including some irrigation. He
continued his drilling until depth in
excess of 100 feet had been attained
at which time the water in the well
was a depth in excess Of 40 feet. This
is the first well drilled in that section
and it demonstrates that there Is wa
ter there well above the level of the
river. other wells will be drilled AMI
com pressed air tanks installed to pro-
vide an automatic pressure for home
and farmyard use.

SOLVES
FARM TRAGEDY
GROOM MURDERS Ills Babe
Mismated Pair Parties i'm Black Crime
After Four Days of Married Life
Groom Left Letters.

PORTLAND, May 1S.-According
to a telephone message to the Asso-
ciated Press from Prineville, Ore, to-
days developments in the mystery
surrounding the death of L. II. Wor-
ley and bride of four days, whose
bodies were found on Worley's farm
near Remond, Crook county, are ma
king public letter left by Worley ad-
dressed to one of his neighbors watch
contains statements which tend to
show that the married life Of the
couple was inharmonious from the
very start and seem to fix the respon-
sibility for the deaths of both on Wor-
ley himself. sN
The wedding occurred Wednesday
/. last Friday and Saturday the house
was closed. Sunday it burned down.
This it is believed fixes the date Of the
tragedy as last Thursday. There is
evidence that someone spent nearly
all of Saturday night in conveying
bundles of straw from the stack
nearby to the house, where they We're
piled on the woman's dead body, after
which the fire was set to the straw.
At least a ton of these bundles were
piled on the corpse. The straw was
not consumed entirely. and the woni-
ans body was not cremated, al
though the house burned down.
Sunday evening two women neigh
bors went to the Worley home to
leave a wedding present. They found
the house burned down, and on going
to the stable found note pinned on
the door with the words Find me IN
stable" Another letter was found
pinned to the gate post, addressed to
J. E. Lamb. Incidentally, Lamb is
a neighbor of the Worleys and made
the match between Worley and his
bride, who came here from Lincoln
Neb. Mrs. Worley's maiden name was
Ruth Leroy.
In the letter to Lamb Morley says
his wife told him she did not want C
live with him and did not like the
place. She wanted to know how fa'
it was to Shaniko and said she was
going there to earn money to go bacf
east. Worley says he missed his
pocketbook and discovered his wife
had taken it. 81 treated her as good
as I could; and then robbing me OF
all my money 1 had and going it
leave me 1 could not stand it any
longer, so think we are both better
dead"
Worley asks to have his sister al
Beaufort, Mo-, notified and two o:hel
friends. The authorities do not os-
lieve the money was the cause of the
quarrel, as the amount in the purse
was only $14.00.

bASHFUL PAIRS
SHOULD HURRY
new LAW CHANGES MARRIAGES
Places Restrictions on Procuring Of
Marriages Licenses-Many Wit
nesses and Much Swearing.

Courtships in Yakima county that
have been hanging fire for months or
years should be brought to close be-
tween now and June IL and save
backward and bashful SWANS trouble
in procuring licenses to wed. One of
the things the last legislature did was
to NEEDLE in the matrimonial field
and as a result placed restrictions on
the procuring of licenses. AT the pres
ent time parties with inclinations to
wed can go to the auditors office,
with a witness swear the bride and
groom are of legal age and not rela-
tives, pay the fee and hunt up a pas
tor and all is well. After June -
there will be more restrictions and
swearing, if the new criminal code is
valid.
What New Law Says.
The new law is intended primarily
as a protection for future generations,
but is hoped to lessen the work of the
divorce courts of today. Section 1 of
the new law is as follows:
mo woman under the age of As
years, nor man of any age, except he
marry a woman over the age of As
years., either of whom is a common
drunkard, habitual criminal, epileptic,
imbecile, feeble minded person, idiot,
or insane person, or person who has
theretoEre been efflicted with heredi-
tary insanity, shall hereafter inter-
marry. or marry any other person
within this state. Children born after
the parent has become insane shall
not marry except under the above
named conditions"
For the enforcement of the provis-
ions of this section the remainder of
the act prohibits ministers or other
authorized persons from uniting in
marriage persons who are not up to
these requirements, specifies more
stringent rules under which marriage
licenses shall be issued, and provides
penalties for the infraction of these
laws and rules. aAs'
How TO Obtain Licenses.
To procure a license after June II
it will be necessary for the applicant
to present to the county auditor the
affidavits of two creditable residents
of the county who shall have known
each of the contracting parties at
least a year prior to the making of
the application, showing that the par
ties are of good moral character, not
feeble-minded, ETC., that they are of
legal age-respectively Is and 81, for
the woman and man-unless the con-
sent of the parents or guardian of
the under-aged party or parties be
had in writing; and that the mar
riages will not be injurious to society
The false representation IF any OF
| these matters will make the witness or
applicant who makes it liable to pun
| ishment for perjury, as regularly pro-
vided. A county auditor who issues a
| license in violation of any of these
provisions is liable to a fine of $500
The difficulties of the prospective
| bride or groom after June IL may be
| best imagined by putting ones self in
either of their places. There would
seem to be sound sense in the tip tc
hurry with the popping of the ques-
/ ton.
