Noineites Marry
Marysville After
Long Romance
MARYSVILLE, Calif.. Jan. 27,
(iT*)—A childhood acquaintance
begun thirty-seven years ago in
Nome, Alaska, was cl:maxed re
cently in a telegraph proposal,
which resulted in the marriage
of Charles Luther Ross, of Pierse,
Idaho, mining man, and Mrs.
Florence G. Schumacher of Seat
tle.
Ross said he visited her in 1909
when in Nome as a sourdough,
with intentions of proposing but
failed to do so. Both parties later
married others and raised fam
ilies, but recently their mates
died, so Ross asked by telegram'
that Mrs Schumacher be his wife.
Ross said his first mining ex
perience was in Nome, where he
recovered seventeen dollars in
gd1.d dust by washing the sawdust
from the floor of Tex Rickard's
saloon and gambling house. The
past several years Ross has been
engaged in operating gold dred
ges in Wyoming and Idaho.

red legions, peasants and irregu

Japanese invasion in the vast

munication lines and Japanese
garrisons stationed in the north
of China.
Observers reported that during
January, Chinese regulars along
the Peiping- Hankow- Ghengtai
railroads wiped out small detach
ments of Japanese troops, and at
least in twenty instances, sallies
of irregulars interrupted traffic
of the Japanese controlled portion
of the Peiping-Hakow Line, one
of China’s main north-south rail
arteries on an average of three
time per week.
The Japanese garrison at Tien
ghsien, on? hundred miles south
west of here, was annihilated on
three different occasions; and a
Japanese regiment at Chuyange,
a mountain town west of Tiengh
sien, suffered severe losses.
Ten per cent of the fighting was
carried on under fierce guerrila
onslaught.
