JOHN CATLIN IS MARRIED !
TO MRS. DULBR1DGE TQDAYl
Couple Leaves on Noon Train
for Short Honey Moon to
Tacoma Washington.
John Catlin, the renowned consta
ble of Linn county, took unto him
self a bride this morning, when he
was married to M rs. Mary L. Dul-
brultfc, by Justice or the Peace L. L,
Swan.
Catlin has been the center of many
congratulations from close friends
with regard to his launching upon
the sea of matrimony, when John
confided his entanglement, some time
ago. He has been teased incessantly
about it and it is understood that to
avoid the persistence of his friends he
decided to get married and put an
end to his torture.
A peculiar incident attendant to the
securing of the marriage license this
morning before Deputy County Clerk
Rufus Russell, was the fact that Mr.
Callin's stepson to be. John Dul-
bridge, appeared with the bashful
near-bridegroom and made the affi
advit. Everybody knows John Catlin and
he needs no introduction. Mrs. Dul
bridgc has been a resident o'f this city
for several years and is well known
here. She originally came here from
Tacoma, Wash.
The happy couple left this noon for
Tacoma, Wash., where they will visit
for a week with friends and relatives
ot Mrs. Catlin, after which they will
return to this citv where a nermntipi.t
home awaits them on Water street
near Ellsworth.

I
Albany Fruit Growers Associa
tion Yesterday Held an
Enthusiastic Meeting.
TO CO-OPERATE WITH
THE CORVALLIS CANNERY
Products of Fruit and Vegetable
Growers Will Be Disposed
of for Current Prices.
An agency for the dispensation of
all the produce grown in this section
will be established in this city, ac
cording to a definite plan laid by the
Albany Fruit Growers' Association
at one of the most enthusiastic meet
ings of this organization, which was
held at the Commercial Club yester
day afternoon.
The seating capacity of the club
was overtaxed when the large crowd
o'f members and those interested in
matters pertaining to the produce in
dustry, assembled in the Commercial
Club parlors.
The plan adopted by the association
is in substance: that an agency will
he situated in this city for the disposi
tion of fruit and vegetable products
of the outlying country, from which
place local merchants can secure
them by cash payments, thereby mak
ing; the industry .worth while and
more profitable to the producer in
stead of his having to dispose of his
produce directly to the stores where,
according to the general rule, he has
received payment in trade.
The association further decided on
co-operation with the Corvallis can
nery and the board of directors were
instructed by a resolution which was
passed, to draft plans of co-operation
and were authorized to sign a con
tract to this effect.

JUDGE SWAN DISMISSES
CASE AGAINST SANDFORD
Defendant Was Charged with
Threatening Life and Using
Vile Names by Hoagland.
W. D. Sanford, who resides near
Shelburn, was brought before .Tns
tice of the Peace Swan this morning,
on a charge filed against him by I.
Hoagland.
In the complaint Sanford is charg
ed with the use of vile language to
wards the plaintiff and with threaten
ing the life of Hoagland and one of
his young sons.
From the evidence given at the
hearing it appears that the trouble
grew out of the fact that one of the
younger Hoaglands had shot some
pigeons belonging to Sanford, who
resented this, taking issue with the
boy's father. It was at this time that
it is alleged Sanford threatened the
life of the plaintiff and called him
names.
After hearing the case Judge Swan
came to the conclusion that there
was no extenuating evidence where
the life of the plaintiff was threaten
ed and before he dismissed the case
he gave the principals a severe lec
ture, with the result that they shook
hands before leaving the court.
Paul Schmitt, of Portland, former
ly of this city, was in town last even
ing. M iss Edna McKnight, instructor in
the historical department of the U.
O., came down last night for a visit
home.
Miss Bessie Bach, of Lebanon, a

evening for an Easter visit.

FATHER IS FOUND
li li HOSPITAL
Left Seattle Mysteriously and
Son Is Here for Purpose
of Finding Him.
TELEPHONE MESSAGE FROM
CORVALLIS CLEARS MYSTERY
W. M. Blake Left Washington
on March 12th; Relatives
Knew Nothing of Plans.
A hunt for a lost father was ended
last evening at this city by the son
receiving a telephone message from
the hospital at Corvallis that his fath
er was ill at that place.
On Wednesday, March 12, ten days
ago, W. M. Blake suddenly left his
home ill Seattle, near the university,
under circumstances that were pecu
liar. He had his suitcase packed to
go to eastern Washington to inspect
a farm he was thinking of buying.
The suitcase was not touched, and it
was known that he then had only
about $15 on his person. Twelve
years ago he had an accident, and
once since had wandered away for a
couple of days, a blank to him, from
the effects of the accident. A few
days ago a dispatch reached the Blake
home from Mr. Blake in Corvallis,
reading: "Am here. Will write."
Damon Blake, a son, immediately left
for Corvallis, secured the assistance
of Sheriff Gellatly and began a hunt
for his father; but getting no clue of
him, more than that the dispatch had
been telephoned to the telegraph of
fice, came over to Albany last even
ing to hunt for him around Albany.
About 7 o'clock he received a tele
phone message from Corvallis an
nouncing that his father had been dis
covered in the hospital, where he had
been having hemorrhages, and he left
on the 9 o'clock train for that city,
rejoicing in the fact that he had found
the old gentleman.
Mrs. W. T. Worley went to Tall
man this morning for a visit.
H. Y. Kirkpatrick and son Hugh,
of Lebanon, went to Portland, this
morning to' attend the automobile
show. Besides running a newspaper
Mr. Kirkpatrick does a good busi
ness in Fords.
P. Kester, of near Lebanon, went
home this morning after officiating
as juryman for eleven days, being on
four cases. He will be back the 16th
of June.
