COURTSHIP IN 60'S
LEADS 10 WEDDING
Romance Begun in New York
Before Civil War Culmi
nates in Portland.
EACH IS 73 YEARS OLD
Cbarles D. Jewett, of Albany, Learns
"Whereabouts of Former . Sweet
heart While on Trip to Early
Home and Wins Bride.
Romance, which was begun in Wa-
tertown. N. T.. before the Civil War.
westerday resulted in the marriage of
Charles D. Jewett. of Albany, Or., and
Mrs. Mattie Lei and. of Fariro, N. D.
The bride and bridegroom are each 73
years old. The ceremony was per
formed by Rev. W. B. Hinson. pastor
of the White Temple. The couple will
pass their honeymoon In California and
will return to make their home in Al
bany. Mr. and Mrs. Jewett were chums In
the N'ew York town when they were
boy and girl. In 1861 Mrs. Jewett
married and moved with her husband
to Vermont. Shortly afterwards Mr.
Jewett married and moved to Nebraska,
where he engaged in farming. Ten
years a?o he came to Albany, hoping
to benefit his health by the change.
Several years ago his wife died.
Last Summer Mr. Jewett made a
trip to his boyhood home and In look
ing up old friends inquired for Mrs.
Leland. He was told that her husband
had died and that Bhe was living with
her brother in Fargo, X. D. On his
rray West after the completion of his
visit In ew York Mr. Jewett stopped
at Fargo and visited Mrs. Leland. When
Mr. Jewett returned to Oregon he
could not forget the old sweetheart
and correspondence followed. Yester
day morning Mrs. Leland arrived in
Portland and the happy bridegroom ap
peared at the County Courthouse and
applied for a wedding license. He did
not deny the pleasure of the mission,
and his aged face beamed as though
he were a bashful boy when he told
the story of his romance.
Those who saw the couple after the
marriage had been solemnized said
that If their smiles were a criterion,
their 73 years will rest lightly on their
shoulders during the years that are
to come.
CODY WELCOMES PRINCE
Albert of Monaco Says Wyoming
Town Even Too Hospitable.
CODY. Wyo., Sept 25. Prince Albert,
of Monaco, came, saw and was con
quered by the little town of Cody. He
seems astounded at the welcome that
has been accorded him and Is not back
ward in expressing his appreciation.
"You are almost too hospitable to
me." he declared with a smile when he
responded to a welcoming speech at the
opening of the Park County Fair.
"I really don't deserve all this honor,
but It makes me feel glad. Just the
same. If I were not the ruler of Mon
aco. I should like to be Mayor of Cody,
or maybe a County Commissioner. That
would be a higher honor in my eyes."
Then he paid a glowing tribute to
America and Its people.
"I have visited many lands In my
life." he said, "but I like America best
of all. I can understand now why
you people succeed. - It's because you
know how to hustle, and do not know
what failure means. That indomitable,
fighting, American spirit is wonderful
to me."

Former Sheriff of Marlon County,
ex-Chief of Police and Once
Postmaster of Portland Is
Still Tonne in. Reality.
John W. Mlnto was receiving con
gratulations from his friends at the
Commercial Club yesterday on his 65th
birthday, which brings up a long chain
of reminiscences among the older resi
dents of the city, of a career spent
chiefly In the service of tie publlo and
packed full of striking events.
John Mlnto, his father. Is living on
the home Dlace In Marlon County. 91
years old, and as active in body and
mind as a young man, and from all In
dication it appears that his son, who
has Just rounded the 65th mile-post, is
following In the steps of the father.
For through a tumultuous career, filled
with adventure and narrow escapes, he
has carried a youthful spirit off of
which the years trickle as harmlessly
as water off the proverbial duck's back.
Oregon Native State.
John W. Minto was born near Salem,
on the old Mlnto homestead. In 1848;
received his education In Willamette
University between 1869 and 1865 and
after that passed some five years in
the saddle in the cattle country of
South Central Oregon. Late in the
60s he returned to Salem, where he
worked for several years in all kinds
of labor.
Most of the sand and gravel for the
basement of the State Capitol and the
Marlon County Courthouse he hauled
and he worked on the foundation of the
historic Marion Hotel. Then he was
asked to Join the police force by the
Mayor of Salem, and turning his team
ing business over to another man he
entered the line of activity with which
he was chiefly identified for many
years. He became Chief of Police and
was reappointed to that office for three
successive terms.
Then he ran for the office of Sheriff
of Marlon County. Falling of election
he' went into the service of the Wells
Fargo Company and for two years rode
with the Wells-Fargo boxes through a
territory equipped with all the holdup
risks of the average frontier country of
those days.
Campaign Efforts Rewarded.
Although he was frequently in rather
serious difficulties, the company never
suffered a holdup on his route, though
an attempt was made once, nearly
successful, to take the strongbox away
from his companion, who was known
as "Buckskin Joe." Mr. Mlnto was
present at the driving of the golden
spike on the Great Northern.
In '82 Mr. Minto came back to Salem
and again ran for the office of Sher
iff, this time being elected and serv
ing for three terms, after which he
came to Portland to make his home.
From 1894 to 1897 he was Chief of
Police in this city and he was for a
term Postmaster of Portland. He is
now associated with the Twohy Bros,
as their special agent. .
During his career as Sheriff of Ma
rlon County and as Chief of Police of
Portland, in times which were most
turbulent in comparison with the pres
ent day, Mr. Minto came In for enough
adventures to keep the average chron
icler busy for an Indefinite length of
time and was identified with the pur
suit and capture of probably more
desperate criminals than any other one
man in the state in the same period of
time.
Xew March for the Elks.
Francis Richter, a well-known pianist
and composer In this city, ,1s preparing
a grand military march entitled "Port
land Elks No. 142," which he will dedi
cate to the B. P. O. Elks No. 142, of
Portland, Or. The march will be ren
dered by the Elks' own crack band In
