RED LAKE ITEMS

There is a petition for free rural delivery at the Post Office in Williams. Be sure to sign it for yourself and for every member of your household.
 The probability of obtaining free rural delivery is all the greater because of the compile tion of the road to the Lake. It ought to be easy to keep this road open in even the severest snowstorm.
 MT. Bill Williams having bal ed at Humes', Hinds' and Bak- CTS, returned to Putnam Valley to dig his potatoes. His early return to Red Lake and to bal ing, is certain for he left his hay press with us..
 Red Lake potatoes are ac- quiring more than local fame as is shown by the following in- cident. A man ill in Los Ange- les was very fond of potatoes but could not eat the Californ- ia variety, because of the great amount of water which they contain. A friend of his hap pened to hear of his predica- ment and spoke to MT. Carl Kinds about it and asked him to pick out 20 lbs. of his choic- est potatoes. MT. Kinds did so and as result the invalid's ap- petite was satisfied and here is one family at least, in Los An geles who know of our pota- toes. Moreover other speci- mems are being sent to Texas, Arkansas and even to Chicago.
 MT. Bud Hardesty is helping put up the hay on MT. Frank Boulin's place.

LAST SUNDAY, AT 2 A. M.

Married, October the 21st, Miss Thurzie Gobel and MT. Carl Dickinson, both of Flag staff. The ceremony was per formed by Justice of the Peace. J. 5. Button, at Williams, Ar izona.
 Thus easily might the event have been disposed of had the usual course of such events been run, but on this occasion varied and exciting were the proceedings attendant on the work of Dan Cupid and some of them will not be forgotten by the couple for many a day.
 On Saturday night at ten o'clock Deputy Sheriff Wade was called on the phone from Flagstaff, by Carl Dickinson. and asked to have a preacher ready as two of his friends were coming to Williams by auto and wished to be married.
 MT. Wade forgot that Will 1ams was temporarily without a parson and promised the inn possible, and when the party arrived a while later they were necessarily disappointed.
 Nasty action began. The local police judge, the mem bers of the town council and any others who might be reach ed by phone were begged to take upon themselves the hon. or of tying the matrimonial bonds. None was there so vest ed with authority that he con- sidered himself qualified to ao- commodate the anxious young people. Hours came and pass ed with the nuptials still unper- formed.
 Finally, Deputy Wade thot of the chance of reaching Judge Buttons ranch. Two o. clock saw the four conspirators at the home of Judge Button, rapping loudly at the door, tell ing him that he was wanted on an emergency call. Thinking that they said murder case the judge hurried into his clothing and answered the simmons. When he went outside he found 1ne four young people standing in a line beneath a cedar tree, and before he was entirely aware of what it was all about Judge Button was reading the marriage rites with only the stars for light.
 Thus, safely beyond the reach of rivals, the groom plac- ed his wife in the auto by his side and with the two friends who had accompanied them to Williams, Miss Sadie Gilson and MT. Tommie Dent, speeded off on a trip to Grand Canyon.
 Sheriff Dickinson had wired to the Canyon to have the party in his car arrested, but they were allowed to go unmOlested and are now safely at home in Flagstaff.
 The bride has been employed in the Flagstaff Post Office for several months and the groom is the only son of Sheriff Dick
