MARS IN c0URTSHIP
Couple Who Had Not Seen Each
Other in 18 Years, Soon
to Wed.

New York.-A romance. which be-
gan during school days In England,
will result in few months in the
marriage of Miss Gertrude Mary
Fletcher. clerk In the Office Of the Brit
ish paymaster at Dover, and Claud
Dewhurst Bingham, importer and e1-
porter of New York city.
Until last Monday, when Miss
Fletcher arrived here on the steam
ship st. Paul of the American line,
Mr.. Bingham had not seen his fiancee
in 18 years. He was only a boy when
his parents left Dover for Nicaragua
to make their home. His uncle, Her
bert F. Bingham, who died several
years ago, was the British consul at
Greytown, Nicaragua.
Mr.. Bingham and Miss Fletcher be-
came engaged to wed eight years ago

COURT ADVISES WIFE
TO SHOOT HUSBAND

Kansas City, Mo.-Mrs. ]. L.
Reece was ordered furnished
with new bullets for her revolv-
er by Judge Herman, after she
had shot at her husband and
missed. Both Mrs. Reece and
her husband were arrested when
the police were called by neigh
bors.
Reece was not In court, for
feiting his cash bond. His wife
appeared and told the judge
her husband came home drunk
and abused her. For protection
she got a revolver and fired
twice, missing her aim.
Sergeant, fit this woman's
gun out with new bullets" or
dered the judge.
"Get enough bullets to prac-
tice with" advised the Judge.
"If you run out, come and get
some more and whenever your
husband comes home and starts
to beat you again, don't miss!
If you miss him again, TIL fine
you"

In this city and Miss Fletcher said lit
required little coadng on the part Of
my fiance for me to brave the subma-
rines and mine fields to come to him."
The uncertainty of mail deliveries af-
ter the war began caused them to de-
eide on this move. There was remote
danger of their not recognizing each
other at the pier-they had taken pre-
cautions to exchange photographs at
intervals.
Miss Fletcher, who is twenty-four
years old, is brunette and has wavy
hair. She had little to say when asked
about the unusual romance In her life.
II suppose this marriage was ar
ranged for you and Mr.. Bingham BY
your parents" the reporter asked.
"No such thing" interposed Mrs. D.
P. Bingham. "This wonderful TO
nance Is all their own, and am glad
their separation has ended"

LOSS OF PETR0GRAD
 WOULD AID RUSSIA

Seattle, Sept. 30.-"I have firm faith in the Russian people and believe that shortly they will bring order out of chaos, but if the German armies should suddenly swoop down upon Petrograd and cut off that hot-bed of treason and German intrigue from the rest of the country it would be blessing"
 This was tho statement of Donald c. Thompson, just back from Russia, where for the last ten months he has been taking pictures for Leslie's Weekly. Mir. Thompson is captain in the Nebraska national guard and is returning home to join his regiment.
 ''It would be like performing capi- tai operation in surgery to separate the Russian capital from the rest Of the country, but it would leave the real Russia free to follow it's ideals, which are wholesome and sound. It would serve to eliminate a battalion of Ger man spies and kaiserist agents, a large company of repatriated l. w. w. from United States, and thousands of the most visionary of the peace-at-any-pric advocates. Relieved of the malign in- fluence from the center of the treason plots, real Russia would do real fight ing," said Mir. Thompson.
 "Only a small part of Russia is de- voted to manufacturing, and the greater part of this industry is located in Pe- trograd and it's vicinity. Thousands of workmen from nearby factories, closed for one reason or another, have aocked into the capital. The radical element is unusually strong.
 'The horde of anarchists and l. wv. from the United States have done in- calculable harm. I have heard them on soap boxes in Petrograd warning the people of Russia against 'dollargrab- bing America and the 'double-dealing Yankees It made me pretty hot and upon several occasions l had mixups with these treacherous people, who, until the revolution, were trying to start trouble in the United States, and left only because the new field offered better opportunities"

 THANKSGIVING

Ophir, Doc. IA social dance was givon in this camp on Thanksgiving night by the Knights of the Garter. Tho entertainment committee con- sisted of Messrs. Vinal, Haarstein, Jones, Pauson and Edwards. The music was furnished by the Northlapd lntsrurban Orchestra - composed of Capt. Mclean of Takotna, and John Myklebust of Ophir.
 John Griffin presented the lodge with a virgin punch bowl, frozen from tho crystal waters of the Innoko river, which was work of art.
 The ladies presented many beautiful evening gowns, the gentlemen resplen- dent in the latest creations of Levi Strauss-a gentle reminder that art and industry go hand in hand. A very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all.
 The hall was nicely decorated for the occasion by John Baker.
