When { the long tramp was finished ten years had been added to the lines of his face. Mrs. Gerber went to the hospital a few days ago for a slight operation. A sudden turn for the worse necessitated a telegram to Gerber. The last train until Monday for Vancouver had gone when Gerber received the message late Saturday evening, but he at once set out to walk fory miles along the rail- road track. Three small children were left at home. Never once during the night did he sfacken the steady pace set at _the beginning. At 8 o'clock yesterday morning he staggered into Vancouver and took the ferry across the Columbia for the Port- land car. Gerber did not know until he reached the hospital whether his terri- ble walk had been in vain. He is a man of slight physique, and the strain marked him deeply. Mrs. Gerber died last evening, apparently contented, as her husband was with her at the last. e SAN JOSE, April 11.—Miss Phoebe Gould of San Francisco and Willlam Kayser, a popular young man of this city, were married at Mary's Catholle Church in this city yester- éay afterncon.
