SEI LE GIRL 1
WEDS H.R. BROWN
MU* Maurita Campbell and Judge
Brown’s Son Married at Knik
on the Steamer Sampson.
At 4:30 a. m. on May 26 the wed
ding of Miss Maurita Campbell, of
Seattle, and Mr. Harry Brown, of
Knik, was solemnized on board the
S. S. Sampson. The ceremony was
beautiful in its simplicity and not a
hitch occurred' to spoil the effect,
says the Ocean Wireless News pub
lished on the steamer Sampson.
The bride was attended by Miss
Nelle Constance Shea, of Seattle,
while Col. Wilds P. Richardson ac
companied the groom to the strains
Of Mendelssohn’s Wedding Macch, as
rendered by Miss White, and Mr.
Geo. Danz; Major Everett Griggs sang
the beautiful words, “O, Promise Me,”
and Dr. Leopold David read the mar
riage ceremony.
The ceremony was soon over and as
the happy couple were receiving the
congratulations of their many friends,
Mr. O. D. Fisher, with a few well
chosen remarks, presented the bride
Vith a present of one hundred dol
lars from a few of the many friends
that she had made during the voy
age of the Sampson from Seattle.
Mr. Fisher also presented the couple
with a barrel of Fisher's Blend Flour
toith which to commence housekeep
ing.
After receiving the congratulations
of the entire ship’s company the brid
al party left for Knik, where they
will make their home in future. Mr.
■Brown is U. S. deputy marshal for
this district with headquarters at
Knik. The bride was charming in a
going-away gown of simple grey ma
terial, with just a suggestion of em
erald at the corsage and carried a
bouquet of carnations.
As soon as the newly weds had
been given time to arrive at their
Knik home, a party was made up on
board to go to Knik and serenade
them, but they delayed too long and
were forced to put back after strik
ing the mud flats about three miles
out.
The Sampson is fast getting a rep
utation as a bride-carrier. On the
next trip, north bound. Captain Moore
will ‘again officiate as Cupid, when
he brings north Miss Clara Gunder
son, who will take as husband one
W. E. Howard, of Knik.

Quimet, the American Holder,
Takes First Place In French
Golf Games.
VERSAILLES, France, May 29.—
Francis Quimet, the boy wonder and
holder of the American golf cham
pionship, today won the French cham
pionship after a hard battle with the
ten entries of French players.
Quimet showed his usual good form,
which- he has recovered, and the fail
ure to make any showing during the
English' matches can only be explain
ed by change of climate. Quimet was
beaten badly in the English matches.
