Any number Of people marry
the second time, but it is seldom
the case that man marries the
same woman twice. Some time
ago E. A. Darlington, who has
been divorced from his first wife,
concluded that he would rather
remain with or return to his first
love and he proceeded to secure
divorce from wife No. 2.
More than nine months ago
Darlington, who had then be-
come the second husband Of q
second wife, appeared before his
attorney, Mr.. R. O. Everett, and
asked for divorce proceedings
against Mrs. Kate Jernigan, who
was then Mrs. E. A. Darlington.
1t was learned then that the first
4
wife was open to another matri'
monial proposition. She bitterly
denied it and to all publications
along that line she entered de.
murrers. The marriage was
terrible mixtry. Eight years
ago Darlington married Miss
Mary Young, quiet a likely look
ing girl. They have a young
daughter. About four years
ago the lord and master forgo1
that subtle connection between
promises and performances ant
soon was without himself +;
wife.
i Time went onin its accustomed
way and Darlington married Mrs
Kate Jernigau, the relict of
. supposedly extinct husband, Per
, due Jernigan, who had not beel
on his job in three years. The.
were married in March Of las

Most OF the dead are believed to
have been passengers on an express
train bound from Spokane to Seattle
and which had been stalled in the
mountains since Thursday. The pas
sengers were asleep when the slide
came. The other train was trans
continental fast mail which carried
no passengers.

were rescued. Some are missing.

rest of the train. Ii is feared that A.
+. Longcoy, private secretary to Mr..
| O'Neill, is among the dead. O'Neill,
who has been directing the fight
against the snow blockade for the
last 10 days. was not in the car at the
time. He escaped injury.
The trains were overwhelmed near
the west portal of the Cascade tun-
mel. All telegraph wires are down to
within 10 miles of the slide.
As soon as word of the disaster
reached Everett, 100 miles west, q
train with physicians and nurses
started for the scene. This was fol-
lowed by a second train carrying I'M
dertakers. wrecking outfits and. labor
ers.
