Knight. Death Intervenes to Bring Old Sweethearts to Altar; W.

Joseph Griffin of Texas acted as best man. The room was tastefully and artistically decorated in pink and white lilies while candles burned on the altar during the ceremony. Miss Ercelia Balcom and Mr. Arthur Jackson formed the escort for the couple down the aisle, while the bridal bouquet of lilies and orchids was caught by Miss Balcom. The bride was charming in a beautiful gown of crepe Ronayne draped with pearl and crystal beads.

C.

Bell to indeterminate sentences in San Quentin, according to law in each case, the punishment for the former being 1 to 14 years and for the latter from 1 to 10 years. Grafton Hears One-sided Debate Knights Landing voters heard a one- sided debate last night and if they believed everything L. C- Davidson of Sacramento, campaign manager for the California Water and Power Act, told them, they will vote solidly for the measure. The opponent of the Davidson, failed to put in an appearance, hence the power act head had everything his own way without fear of contradiction. Another debate is scheduled for Winters tomorrow night.

When Turk Army Advances, Price Yolo Soar Strange as it may seem, the advance of the Turkish army in Asia Minor within the past few days has been responsible directly for raising the market price of Yolo county Sultana a i Thompson seedless grapes. In fact, G. H. Hecke, state director of agriculture, stated to the "Democrat" this morning that within twenty-four hours after the Turks showed gains in the Smyrna district, Yolo's oil bleached grapes of which there are some 800 tons in all, jumped from 3 to cents a pound. Yolo growers are the only ones in the state who employ the Smyrna method of bleaching grapes.

Hence England, a great consumer of the oil bleached product, realized that there was no chance to harvest the Smyrna product because of war and revolution, and immediately made demand for the local product. It proved that the world was a small place after all, said Heckc, for the raise came within twenty-four hours after the advance of the Turks.

But the body of the 17th miner trapped in the burning mine cannot be found. The missing body is that of Wm. Fessell. Miners at Jackson are saying today that Fessell died separated I from the crew, seeking a pass! age through which fresh air could be given to the imprisoned miners.

writer of the note found on the bulkhead that the dying men had built, Fessell's name is now blazoned with glory in TRIED TO REACH MULDOON. Alone, it is believed, he went seeking the lower gates of the Muldoon shaft. He hoped to open them to ventilate the mine. But in his absence the gas became so strong that his men were forced to build the bulkhead, blocking Fessell from rejoining them, it is thought. It is believed by some that the notes found on the bulkhead were written by an imprisoned miner and that Fessell's name was mentioned to indicate At its next meeting the Yolo county board supervisors will pave the way the placing of a suitable, reliable and express- i that he was no longer with the party.
