MODERN BLUEBEARD
MARRIED In COLFAX

The late Developments of the
Bluebeard" HURT case involve Col
fax as the scene of one of the ia
nous bigamists many marriages.
Investigation of the county auditor S
records shows that a marriage license
was issued on October 6, 1915, to
Elizabeth Burns of Portland, Ore,
and a man giving his name as Arthur
Melrose, Portland salesman. Mrs.
Burns gave her maiden name as
Elizabeth Wagner in making out the
papers for the license.
The authorities have added the
name of Mrs. Burns-Melrose to the
list of women defrauded by the ia
nous bigamist, bringing the total
number to 80. This also proves that
Bluebeard was busy at his matri-
monial game as far back as 1914,
when he first met Mrs. Burns.
At the present time, Mrs. Burns is
in Medical Lake hospital suffer-
ing from nervous breakdown result
ing from the strange disappearance
of her husband. Before he left her,
soon after their marriage here, he
secured $500 in cash.
The marriage was performed by
the Rev. j. Herbert Bainton with
Mrs. Bainton and Mrs. G.. S. Kicker
as witnesses to the ceremony. Rev.
Bainton remembers distinctly the
hurry of the marriage, as the couple
desired to get away for Spokane on
the afternoon electric, and had only
a few minutes to spare when they
finally located him. Mrs. Kicker
brought the couple to the Bainton
home, and was unable to find the
minister there. They were just
leaving when Rev. Bainton returned
He performed the ceremony in three
or four minutes time.-Commoner

church, arrived in Pullman last Mon

duties of his new pastorate. Mrs
Monbeck and little son arrived Tues

pie
The Rev. Mr.. Monbeck comes to
Pullman from Occur d'Alene, Idaho,
where he has been pastor for the LAST
five or six years. In that time, the
Baptist church at Occur d'Alene has
very largely increased it's member
ship, has become self supporting, and
has built and paid for large new
church building.
Recently the Pullman Baptist
church purchased the A. d. Wexler
property at the corner of Oak and
Ruby streets and in the near future
expects to begin operations prepare
tory to the erection of a new church
building on that corner. The church
feels that it has been very fortunate
in being able to secure the Rev. Mr.

LOST AT SEA

NJ J. Chapman has received from
his son, Stamford Chapman, of the
U. S. S. Nevada, now in foreign wat
ers, an interesting account of the
experiences of Lieutenant F. NJ Har-
denoff of that ship, who for 80 hours
was stranded alone on a cay as the
result of the failure of his aeroplane
to function properly Couched in
the words of Lieutenant Hardenoff
himself, full account of his expert
ences are printed in The Live
Wire" the U. S. S. Nevada official
publication. The aeroplane was
forced to land 100 yards off the
shore of the cay and the machine
turned completely over as it hit the
water. The lieutenant found him
self surrounded by sharks, but with
the aid of steel rods from the areo-
plane as weapons, he made his way
to land, his only possessions being
three cigarettes, few matches and
fittings from the wrecked plane.
With the latter he managed to as
semble a water still, making the sea
water drinkable by condensing.
After 80 hours without food he was
sighted by another plane sent to res
cue him and taken back to his ship
