Randolph Hurry, the bride's father, was formerly a partner in

A lot or two in the Olmsted addition to Kennewick offers the far-
Bighted investor absolutely the best returns of any investment in the
northwest. Lots can be purchased there today for $.300 and up on very
easy terms without interest on deferred payments. No lot is less than
50x140. All lots have cement sidewalks, water mains and shade trees.
Over 120 acres are set aside for parks and a 125-foot boulevard wends its
way through the addition. Tlie Olmsted addition is the best of
Kennewick. It consists of 440 acres and lies between the
present city and the famous Kennewick Highlands. It was landscaped by

the jury to turn him loose, a free
man:
"With this blow I became fright
ened," Lockhart testified, "and I
seized the brush away from Tru
blood and struck him a blow across
the head with it."
Doctors testified that the nature
of the injury inflicted by this fatal
blow would indicate that it was
caused by the handle of the young
man's umbrella instead of the
brush. Strangely enough, in this
instance, it might have been better
for John Lockhart had he testified
that he struck with his umbrella,
for then, circumstances would have
shown that the old man, who died
from the blow, was not unarmed
at the time, and that Lockhart had
some cause to fear bodily harm.
Lockhart has been bound over

of $5000 to answer to a charge of

work in harmony with the machine
leaders. Governor Hughes will be
asked to approve the gubernatorial
nominee before he is named by the
party convention, it is understood,

Spokane's
Bargain Shop
For Piano Buyers
"The Place to Buy Real Piano Bar
gains is in Our Exchange Depart
ment."
In this department are planoa
from many channels at prices re
duced in many instances to less
than one-half their original price.
Everyone is in good condition be
cause the second-hand ones go
through our shop, where experts
give them perfect adjustment and
renew worn parts. Some are like
new and need no repairs.
Our splendid line of fine pianos
gives us an inducement for ex
changes not equaled by any other
house In Spokane, and the large
dock that we are obliged to carry
to accommodate our trade often
leaves us with discontinued styles.
These do not reduce In value, but
we are obliged to sacrifice our
profit on them to keep our stock*
new and fresh.
The stock in our exchange de
partment is constantly changing,
but you will always find bargains
worth your consideration, and if
yon decide to buy we will make
terma to suit your convenience.
In our regular lino we offer
Chlckerlng and thirty other high
grade makes.
