fifth with a mate who had gone
through 1t four times, Robert cum
Minis of Freewater and Mrs. Sarah A
Ritchie, of Spokane county, were
united in marriage today by Judge
Mckinney at II o'clock. That the

perences which prove to be record
breakers.

Il years has just entered upon his
fifth marriage. while the bride has en-
barked on the matrimonial sea for the
fourth time She is but two years the
junior of her husband having the ap-
pearance of woman in the prime OF
life.

lions will be strictly enforced as
heretofore He favors the conceni
tration of vice as a police precau-
ton, but will permit no transgress-
ing of the rules laid down for the
government of such places. This
attitude was not comprehended
and the closing order followed. II
Considerable pressure was also
brought to bear from sources
where the extent of the evil under
the present policy OF scattering, it

INQUEST CHARGES
MURDER

The coroner's jury at the In
quest over the body of Henry
Falkstraw this morning found that
deceased came to his death from a
gunshot wound inflicted by Ed
Scholl. Scholl had already admit
ted the killing under a charge Of
first degree murder, but the offic-
ers are certain that he did not re-
alize the import Of his plea. He
will have to be tried notwithstand-
Ing.
Will and Henry Smith, who
were on the scene a few minutes
after the shooting. were witnesses
at the inquest. Henry repeated
the words of the dying man:
"Well, he got me-" and also testi-
fled that Falkstraw answered no
when asked if he had had any
trouble with Scholi.
Scholl's wife, with whom he
talked over his deed afterwards,
was not put on the stand, and
neither was Scholl. Other wit.
nesses were Harry Clark. stem
ographer, and Deputy Sheriff
Doak
Scholl's defense is that Falk-
straw threatened to kill him and
that he shot In self derense. The
fact that he was on horseback at
the time and able to avoid trouble
had he tried, as the law expects
before man can take life in sell
defense, is likely to count against
him at trial.

doesn't know whether to thank
Miss Dorothy Warrington for show
ing women how to make cheap
hats or to laugh at her. Anyway,
Miss Warrington did two things
woke up the Gay White Way In
midsummer and made real peach
basket hat for only "a cents.
Instead Of getting a lot of imita-
ton things to decorate it with Miss
Warrington was practical She paid
three cents for peach basket and
with this on her arm went along
Produce Row and bought nine
cents worth of early summer vege-
tables. Have you guessed it? The
basket was the foundation for the
hat, of course!
Dorothy picked out banana and
two radishes, lemon-nothing
else. She got a bargain in price
because she was so good looking.
Then a yard and half of bunting
and half yard of cheese cloth she
finished the job.
Miss Warrington is MEMBER OF
the Motor Girl company playing
at the Lyric theater, and when she
went to rehearsal wearing the hat
it looked just like any other peach
basket creation that might have
cost her $25 or $50. Of course the
peach basket was too big, but the
stage carpenter at the Lyric cut it
down to suit her shapely head.
zone of the many advantages
this hat has is that the trimmings
can be renewed at small expense,
keeping up to date with the arrival
of new vegetables in the markets
from time to time"
That's what Dorothy said. Did
she really mean it?
