The frultugle of' mature judgment and
the Ideas of youth met here recently
when a groom of ninety led a bride
of seventy three to the Hilar. The
principal. Mr. Ora Haley, of Denver,
Kdward Ivanson, of Laramie, Wyo.,
are pioneer builders of the West.
Mrs. Haley's late husband wa a
hustties associate of Ivanson, and to
gether they founded the r'lrst Nation-,
nl Hank of Ijtrumle, which Institution
Mr. ivanson now heads.
The two families have been lifelong
friend. Mr. and Mrs. Ivanson lived
happily together for sixty-five year,
their life' achievement and endeav
ors being linked prominently with
much of the building up of the Inter
mnuntaln country. The Ivanson were
godparents for all of the Haley's chil
dren. The Haley children were pres
ent nt the wedding, tihlch was con
ducted by un Kplscopal bishop.
Speaking of the wedding. Mrs. Haley
said; "Some will think we ure too old.
It Is not romance, or fire or passion,
but the finest kind of friendship that
ha decided us to go the rest of the
way together."
Mrs. Haley Is a white-haired pink
cheeked lady, whose bright eyes and
sprightly steps belie the fact that she
has passed three score and ten. Mr.
ivanson is robust und active. Roth
parties are wealthy, the bride being
able to count over a million dol
lars, while the groom's wealth ex
ceeds that sum several times over.

NO SUCH THING AS DIVINE
RIGHTS OF KINGS IN STATE
Official Cannot Call State
Troops to Shield Him From
Arrest; Is Subject to Arrest.
SPRIXGFIELD, III., July 26. (A.
P.) Circuit JudKe .Smith, ruling on
the question of the arrest of Governor
Small on a charge of embezzlement
while he was state treasurer, held that
warrants should be served on the gov
ernor hut aa an executive he should be
permitted to appear at his conveni
ence. There is no such a thing in
Illinois a a divine right of kings, and
a governor cannot call the state troops
to shield him from arrest and is a sub
ject to arrest and prosecution for il
legal acts as treasurer.
Slay Come of Ills Own Accord
Should Governor Small desire to
avoid the Indignity of arrest, Judge
Smith announced, following his decision-
thAt the S-iernor ta amenable to
arrest by judiciary, he may come ti
court nn his own accord, the court ac-
enmmoduting itself to the prisoners;

judge ordered the clerk of the court

ing for the sheriffs benefit that fail
ure to properly serve the warrant
menus punishment for non-performance
of duly. The judge held that
the governor would violate the law if
he called the state militia to protect

DOGS IN COUNTY, GETS
HOME TO HIS 'ALABAM'
Down at Hermiston there are
two happy "guys", and the'.v
names are Jim "Alabam" Smi;h
and "Alabam's" dog. Mnggs. The
happiness is caused by a reunion
that was effected yesterday aft
ernoon. About ten days nan Mnggs
took the Idea into his head of
getting out and looking over
t'mntilla county during harvest
time, so he boarded the running
board of a car that happened to
be passing and deserted his own
home town. "Alaham" mfssed
Muggs, and he mourned his loss,
because the spaniel has a repu
tation with duck hunters nil over
the county of being one of the
best retrievers in this section of
the state.
Yesterday, however. .there
was some good news flashed In
"Alaham" to the effect that
Muggs had been found on a
wheat ranch northeast of Pen
dleton, and the master didn't do
a. tbrtg hut crawl into a car and
go right after his dog. Ho ap
proached the ranch to which be
had been directed, and there,
sore onoutih, was the brown re
triever, sitting on his haunches
in front of a grain elevator.
"Muggs!"

When the dogs name
was
called he looked just once, then
there was a streak of brown be
tween where be had been and
where the car stood, and -when
that streak stopped, Muggs had
leaped over the side of the ma-
chine and was letting "Alabam"
know that he was tired of wan
dering.
Muggs formerlj was the prop
erty of George Hayhlll when he
lived a; Hermiston. but when. he
left, the dog was given to "Ala
ham." and the two are the best
pair of duck hunters In I'matilla
county.
