For this the church interpreter rs

tic. Rev. Mr.. Helm knows it also,
but he is minister of the gospel and
there are some features of the whole
sport proposition which do not appeal
to him. Moreover they are not in
conformance with church doctrines.
On a recent Sunday the Rev. Mr..
Helm delivered a powerful sermon
and a moving one, as it proved. He
was urging the Indians to better
things. Much had been done ror
them by the government anc tne

Tribune of last Sunday prints a story
under a Seattle date line u the effect
that C. f. Parrish of North Yakima is
marketing cantaloupes in Seattle that
are perfect cubes in shape. 1t is not
known that there have been any home
grown cantaloupes marketed so fer
this year, but that is a minor matter
That Mr. Parrish is devel )ping some
thing new in the way of classy fruit. is
only a deserved credit for Yakima
enterprise. The dispatch is as follows:
SEATTLE, Wash. July 17.-C. u.
Parrish Of North Yakima marketed
cantaloupes here this week that are
perfect cubes. They sold for extreme
~ fancy prices.
Parrish has been doing novel things
with fruit and vegetables for several
years, but says that his idea of grow
ing cantaloupes in the shape OF cubes
is the most practical of anything he
has undertaken. Many people do not
like the shape of the cantaloupe be-
cause the round form makes 1t impos-
sible to be served artistically
Parrish has troughs made from
heavy lumber and these are partition
ed to make an interior size of four
inches each way. AS soon as new cam
teloupes are seen to form on the vines
each fruit is placed in one of the par
titions in a trough.
The fruit continues to grow and
gradually assume the shape of the
cubical house in which it lives. To
prevent the top from becoming round
ing Parrish places a heavy top on the
box trough in time to avoid the
trouble.

Is Legal Move.
Two months ago Cooper was arrest
ed on a warrant charging him with a
serious crime, in which the girl would
have been the principal witness for
the state. BY the marriage, the law is
blocked. the statutes providing that
the wife is not compelled to give tes-
timony against her husband. The au-
thorities offered no serious objections
to the move, believing that it was for
the best. Cooper is young man not
of age. Arrangements have been made
by Thompson & Dunlap, attorneys for
Cooper, for his release upon bonds.
After the marriage ceremony was per-
formed, Cooper was taken back to his
cell in the county Jail. Before saying
the words that made the couple one,
Rev. Cunningham gave a short talk
containing fatherly advice to the
young people. The prosecuting attor-
ney's office is silent regarding any
move it will make in the final dispo-
sition of the case.
Lays Trouble to GOssips.
Jennie Hunt, the bride in the out of
the ordinary marriage is not good
looking, but plain, sensible sort of a
girl, who has had more than her
share of trouble. To the wagging
tongues of gossips, she lays the cause
of the trouble that has ended in her
marriage. and while sitting on the court
house waiting for the completion of
the final arrangements, she talked
freely. The young couple have made
plans for the future and are apparent
ly as happy as if their union had been
attended with the regulation pomp of
a society event.

USED WILD
WEST WAYS
IN ANNAPOLIS HAZING CASE
Incidents Previous to the Shooting OF
Marine Sutton Told at Court OF
Inquiry Investigation.

ANNAPOLIS, July 2O.-Proceedings
at the discussion of the court of in
quiries investigating the death or
Lieutenant Sutton of Portland, ore
took a sensational turn when First
Lieutenant William F. Bevan of the
marine corp, now attached to the
battleship New Jersey, testified. He
related his part in the tragedy of Oc-
tober 10, 1907, when young Sutton
met his death Bevan was an officer
Of the guard in the marine camp that
night. Like Adams, he testified that
Sutton deliberately shot himself, but
his description of Sutton's alleged
suicide varied from the story told by
Adams.
The most g'aring disagreement
came when Bevan swore he and two
other officers were on top of Sutton
endeavoring to hold him down to pre-
vent him from using his revolvers
when Sutton freed his arm and fired
bullet into his own BRAIN after some
one had declared that Sutton mad
killed Lieutenant Rocker.
Bevan's testimony also revealed that
a situation bordering on wild west
rampage existed in the camp prior to
the shooting when Sutton had been
trying to make Rocker dance by
leveling two revolvers at his feet.
Lieutenants Adams, Bevan and Os-
terman occupied all the time OF the
eourt today. Osterman's testimony
was that he was member OF sutton
automobile party october II. he
corroborated Adams story except to
add that he believed Sutton was badly
intoxicated.
