Mr. Farmer accompanied her and she is now at the home of her father, with no hope whatever for her recovery. In fact she can live but a few days. She was married in May. 1905, to Mr. Farmer, at the time being only a little more than sixteen years of age. Last winter they moved to near Wheeler, Wash., where Mr. Farmer took up a claim. Childbed fever following the birth of a babe, which lived only about ten days, developed into quick consumption and she was brought baok home to die. She was in suoh an enfeebled condition that it was thought she would not live to reach here, bnt she stood the long journey very well. The entire community deeply sympathize with the unfortunate young woman and her husband and father over her hopeless condition. _
