A BABY'S NARROW ESCAPE
The 2 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Poole narrowly escaped being fatally injured yesterday afternoon, in a peculiar accident that happened on E street between Third and Fourth streets. Mrs. Poole was driving up E street in her buggy with her little daughter sitting next to her on the buggy seat. When just south of Court street a heavy farm wagon ran into Mrs. Poole's buggy. The light buggy wheel was smashed and the little child in the buggy was thrown beneath the wheels and run over.
Mrs. Poole's horse then started to run, but was quickly stopped by Walter Satterwhite, driver of the Stewart Hotel bus. Satterwhite then assisted Mrs. Poole from her buggy and did what he could do to relieve the child's suffering. At first it was thought the baby was fatally injured, but after a short time the child regained consciousness, and it is not believed any serious results will follow from the accident.

BOMBARDMENT BY WALTER SATTERWHITE
NEW METHOD OF COLLECTING RENT
Goes to the Rooms of Mrs. R. White and Daughter with a Sledge Hammer. - What Happened. - Efforts at Arrest Later by the Woman Prove Fruitless. - Lively Old Time it was.
There are several ways of collecting delinquent rent. Some people use a shotgun, but Walter Satterwhite, a young man well-known in the city, just takes an old-fashioned sledge hammer and "goes after it." Walter is not a professional knocker but the way he battered in the door of a room in the Satterwhite building, in Third street, yesterday morning will put him in the lead as a candidate for such honors.
It seems that a Mrs. R. White and daughter have been making their home in the room in question and, according to Mrs. Mary McDonald, the owner of the building, the tenants had failed to pay their rent. Mrs. McDonald communicated the situation of affairs to her son, Walter Satterwhite, and the latter, arming himself with the family sledge-hammer, went forth. After wearing two thicknesses of cuticle off his knuckles in a vain endeavor to rouse the inmates of the apartments, he drew his sledge-hammer and began sounding the panels. People down stairs were just making up their mind that an escaped pile-driver had driven into the flat above when the door gave way, and falling inward, struck Miss White upon the forehead. She said she was just coming to open it when the thing happened. And then the fun began and the stories took different roads.
The scene now changes to the police court and, anon, the District Attorney's office. The Whites visited both these places in a fruitless endeavor to procure a warrant for Satterwhite's arrest. They wanted him arrested for attempted murder in all sorts of degrees, saying he had assaulted them with a sledge-hammer and threatened to throw carbolic acid in their faces. In evidence of this last, Deputy District Attorney Byrne was taken to the building where the bombardment had occurred and introduced to a strong smell of the acid. There was also a bottle partly filled with the poison lying in the hallway. Inquiry, however, developed the fact that Marshal Shay, who was on the field of battle shortly after Satterwhite opened fire, had not detected the odor nor had he noted the vial on the floor.
It is true that the man with the hammer had come reinforced with a pint bottle of carbon-di-sulphide with which to drive the inmates from the stronghold in case the sledge failed to go off, but liquid measures were not necessary.
As for the carbolic, some small boy must have left it there while the Whites were out looking for the hangsman. But be that as it may, there seemed to be no good evidence upon which Satterwhite could be held, and neither he nor his sledge-hammer were held to answer.

Walter Satterwhite, the son of Mrs. Mary McDonald, who bombarded the apartments of Mrs. Rachael White in the Third street Satterwhite building with a sledge hammer last Saturday, renewed the attack Sunday and as a result will be obliged to face a charge of disturbing the peace.
Having failed in his attempt to drive the Whites from the rooms last week, Satterwhite reversed his methods by determining to board up the Third street entrance. With the idea of placing his theory in practice he migrated to the said entrance in company with an armful of boards and pockets bulging with railroad spikes and other nails.
Arriving at the place, Satterwhite proceeded to sew up the doorway and was busy with his task when Miss White discovered him and rang in the alarm. Among those with responded was Officer Clews, who told the stockade builder that he would have to desist or expect to be arrested. At this, Satterwhite beat a retreat, but he had already committed himself to an extent warranting his arrest for disturbing the peace, and upon this charge he was arrested yesterday morning upon the complaint of Miss White. The case was called before Judge Starke and Satterwhite's trial was set for 10 o'clock Friday morning.

WOMEN FIGHT WHEN EVICTION IS ATTEMPTED
San Bernardino Landlord Gets Into Trouble When He Tries to Oust Undesirable Tenants
SAN BERNARDINO, June 7 - The obstinate resistance Mrs. Rachel White and her daughter are offering to the efforts of their landlady's son, Walter Satterwhite, to evict them for non-payment of rent is the topic of conversation here. The young man's latest move was an attempt to close up the entrance to the building by nailing boards across the door.
The women pounced upon him and put him to flight. He was arrested and warned that he would be locked up without benefit of bail if he persisted. Satterwhite says civil proceedings cost too much money.

RECORDER PILES IT ON TO WALTER SATTERWHITE
IS FINED $50 FOR BOMBARDMENT AFFAIR
Young Man who Armed Himself with a Sledge Hammer and a Bottle of Condensed "Skunkum" and Proceeded to War on the Apartments of the Whites, Mother and Daughter, Fails to Convince His Honor that this was the Proper Method of Collecting Rent.
Walter Satterwhite, who was charged with disturbing the peace of Mrs. Rachel White and daughter one fine day recently, left $50 with Recorder Starke yesterday by way of a fine and considered himself very lucky that the court did not make it twice that amount.
Satterwhite is the young man who recently went to the house occupied by the White family in Third street, which they rented from his mother, armed with a large sized sledge hammer and a big bottle of disinfectant (?). He battered the door down and turned some of the vile smelling contents of the bottle loose for the benefit of the tenants.
Mrs. White and daughter at once had Satterwhite arrested on a charge of disturbing the peace, having failed to convince the District Attorney that a charge of attempted murder should be preferred against him.
The trial yesterday was full of interest from the vantage ground of the spectator. The complainants with tear-filled eyes, the bottle of horrid smelling stuff, the sledge-hammer, etc., were all in evidence as the story of the strange affair was told. Satterwhite as a defense claimed the woman owed him three months rent, that he had given them a month's notice to move, and he supposed the house had been vacated, as he had failed to receive a reply when he rapped on the door that morning. All the circumstances of the affair failed to exactly harmonize in the mind of the court who accordingly pronounced him guilty. Judge Rolfe represented Satterwhite, while H. W. Nisbet appeared in behalf of the White women.
In the 1910 U. S. census, 26 yr. old Walter Satterwhite, a law student, b. in CA., was unmarried and living at 1844 South Flower in Los Angeles Assembly District 72, Los Angeles, CaA. with his
63 yr. old mother, Mary A McDonald, no occupation, b. in UT.
Mary was listed as married for a second time, although her husband was not living in the household and it doesn't state how long she had been married.
Mary was the mother of 9 children, only 4 still alive by this census.
Mary's father was b. in KS. and her mother in TX.
Walter's father was b. in SC.

Miss Hatherly Bride of Walter Satterwhite in San Francisco
The announcement of a marriage solemnized in San Francisco Saturday will bring unusual interest, and also surprise, to a wide circle of friends of the bride, Miss Elizabeth Hatherly, more familiarly known here as "Dolly" Hatherly, and Walter Satterwhite of San Francisco, formerly of San Bernardino, and of a well-known family here.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hatherly of Mill street, and is well-known in the young people's circles of the First M. E. church, is held in warm affection by all her friends, and has a wide acquaintance among business people and the public, having been with the Barnum Stationery company and the Barnum-Flagg company for the past eight years, as their bookkeeper, having resigned just a week ago. She is a graduate of the high school.
The marriage occurred at the Howard Presbyterian church in San Francisco, the pastor, Rev. John C. Lundy reading the service, which was witnessed by a group of friends.
The bride, who is a very attractive young woman in personality as well as appearance, wore a very becoming dark blue tailored suit with white georgette blouse and dark blue Maline bonnet-shaped hat with two white wings forming the jaunty trimming.
Though both bride and groom have long claimed San Bernardino as home and the groom has been a frequent visitor here ever since he has lived elsewhere, their acquaintance and the romance had a beginning only last summer when both were visitors to Catalina Island. The groom, who is in the Southern Pacific offices, is a son of Mrs. Mary McDonald, and a brother of the well-known attorney, Assemblyman Satterwhite of Alameda.
The groom has an attractive and cosy apartment at 1010 Haight street ready for the bride and they will be at home there after a short wedding trip.
The congratulations and good wishes of the many friends of both will be forwarded to the northern city from San Bernardino.
Walter & Dollie Satterwhite had one child:
Elizabeth Marie Satterwhite, b. Sep. 30, 1920 in San Bernardino county, CA. and d. Apr. 22, 2008 (last residence Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo county, CA. according to the Social Security Death Index). Elizabeth marr. first, Louis Martin Behrends, second, _ Eggleston, _ and third, Ellis Carr.

Attorney Satterwhite in Denial of Wife's Charge
Walter Satterwhite, attorney of Los Angeles and well-known here, has secured an order for change of venue to Los Angeles in the action brought here by his wife for separate maintenance.
"The charge of desertion and that I refused to provide a home is inaccurate," said Mr. Satterwhite, "and when the case is tried I will demonstrate this. My wife came to San Bernardino on a visit and never returned. I have offered to take her to San Francisco. Since she left me I have sought to persuade her to return, but she refuses. As recent as May 15 I again offered to take her away from her mother's home and provide for her, and she declined. If the case goes to trial I will come here and take Mrs. Satterwhite to Los Angeles and give her an opportunity to tell her side of the story to the court."

The marriage occurred at the Howard Presbyterian church in San Francisco, the pastor, Rev. John C. Lundy reading the service, which was witnessed by a group of friends.
The bride, who is a very attractive young woman in personality as well as appearance, wore a very becoming dark blue tailored suit with white georgette blouse and dark blue Maline bonnet-shaped hat with two white wings forming the jaunty trimming.
Though both bride and groom have long claimed San Bernardino as home and the groom has been a frequent visitor here ever since he has lived elsewhere, their acquaintance and the romance had a beginning only last summer when both were visitors to Catalina Island. The groom, who is in the Southern Pacific offices, is a son of Mrs. Mary McDonald, and a brother of the well-known attorney, Assemblyman Satterwhite of Alameda.
The groom has an attractive and cosy apartment at 1010 Haight street ready for the bride and they will be at home there after a short wedding trip.
The congratulations and good wishes of the many friends of both will be forwarded to the northern city from San Bernardino.

Attorney Satterwhite in Denial of Wife's Charge
Walter Satterwhite, attorney of Los Angeles and well-known here, has secured an order for change of venue to Los Angeles in the action brought here by his wife for separate maintenance.
"The charge of desertion and that I refused to provide a home is inaccurate," said Mr. Satterwhite, "and when the case is tried I will demonstrate this. My wife came to San Bernardino on a visit and never returned. I have offered to take her to San Francisco. Since she left me I have sought to persuade her to return, but she refuses. As recent as May 15 I again offered to take her away from her mother's home and provide for her, and she declined. If the case goes to trial I will come here and take Mrs. Satterwhite to Los Angeles and give her an opportunity to tell her side of the story to the court."

A BABY'S NARROW ESCAPE
The 2 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Poole narrowly escaped being fatally injured yesterday afternoon, in a peculiar accident that happened on E street between Third and Fourth streets. Mrs. Poole was driving up E street in her buggy with her little daughter sitting next to her on the buggy seat. When just south of Court street a heavy farm wagon ran into Mrs. Poole's buggy. The light buggy wheel was smashed and the little child in the buggy was thrown beneath the wheels and run over.
Mrs. Poole's horse then started to run, but was quickly stopped by Walter Satterwhite, driver of the Stewart Hotel bus. Satterwhite then assisted Mrs. Poole from her buggy and did what he could do to relieve the child's suffering. At first it was thought the baby was fatally injured, but after a short time the child regained consciousness, and it is not believed any serious results will follow from the accident.

BOMBARDMENT BY WALTER SATTERWHITE
NEW METHOD OF COLLECTING RENT
Goes to the Rooms of Mrs. R. White and Daughter with a Sledge Hammer. - What Happened. - Efforts at Arrest Later by the Woman Prove Fruitless. - Lively Old Time it was.
There are several ways of collecting delinquent rent. Some people use a shotgun, but Walter Satterwhite, a young man well-known in the city, just takes an old-fashioned sledge hammer and "goes after it." Walter is not a professional knocker but the way he battered in the door of a room in the Satterwhite building, in Third street, yesterday morning will put him in the lead as a candidate for such honors.
It seems that a Mrs. R. White and daughter have been making their home in the room in question and, according to Mrs. Mary McDonald, the owner of the building, the tenants had failed to pay their rent. Mrs. McDonald communicated the situation of affairs to her son, Walter Satterwhite, and the latter, arming himself with the family sledge-hammer, went forth. After wearing two thicknesses of cuticle off his knuckles in a vain endeavor to rouse the inmates of the apartments, he drew his sledge-hammer and began sounding the panels. People down stairs were just making up their mind that an escaped pile-driver had driven into the flat above when the door gave way, and falling inward, struck Miss White upon the forehead. She said she was just coming to open it when the thing happened. And then the fun began and the stories took different roads.
The scene now changes to the police court and, anon, the District Attorney's office. The Whites visited both these places in a fruitless endeavor to procure a warrant for Satterwhite's arrest. They wanted him arrested for attempted murder in all sorts of degrees, saying he had assaulted them with a sledge-hammer and threatened to throw carbolic acid in their faces. In evidence of this last, Deputy District Attorney Byrne was taken to the building where the bombardment had occurred and introduced to a strong smell of the acid. There was also a bottle partly filled with the poison lying in the hallway. Inquiry, however, developed the fact that Marshal Shay, who was on the field of battle shortly after Satterwhite opened fire, had not detected the odor nor had he noted the vial on the floor.
It is true that the man with the hammer had come reinforced with a pint bottle of carbon-di-sulphide with which to drive the inmates from the stronghold in case the sledge failed to go off, but liquid measures were not necessary.
As for the carbolic, some small boy must have left it there while the Whites were out looking for the hangsman. But be that as it may, there seemed to be no good evidence upon which Satterwhite could be held, and neither he nor his sledge-hammer were held to answer.

Walter Satterwhite, the son of Mrs. Mary McDonald, who bombarded the apartments of Mrs. Rachael White in the Third street Satterwhite building with a sledge hammer last Saturday, renewed the attack Sunday and as a result will be obliged to face a charge of disturbing the peace.
Having failed in his attempt to drive the Whites from the rooms last week, Satterwhite reversed his methods by determining to board up the Third street entrance. With the idea of placing his theory in practice he migrated to the said entrance in company with an armful of boards and pockets bulging with railroad spikes and other nails.
Arriving at the place, Satterwhite proceeded to sew up the doorway and was busy with his task when Miss White discovered him and rang in the alarm. Among those with responded was Officer Clews, who told the stockade builder that he would have to desist or expect to be arrested. At this, Satterwhite beat a retreat, but he had already committed himself to an extent warranting his arrest for disturbing the peace, and upon this charge he was arrested yesterday morning upon the complaint of Miss White. The case was called before Judge Starke and Satterwhite's trial was set for 10 o'clock Friday morning.

WOMEN FIGHT WHEN EVICTION IS ATTEMPTED
San Bernardino Landlord Gets Into Trouble When He Tries to Oust Undesirable Tenants
SAN BERNARDINO, June 7 - The obstinate resistance Mrs. Rachel White and her daughter are offering to the efforts of their landlady's son, Walter Satterwhite, to evict them for non-payment of rent is the topic of conversation here. The young man's latest move was an attempt to close up the entrance to the building by nailing boards across the door.
The women pounced upon him and put him to flight. He was arrested and warned that he would be locked up without benefit of bail if he persisted. Satterwhite says civil proceedings cost too much money.

RECORDER PILES IT ON TO WALTER SATTERWHITE
IS FINED $50 FOR BOMBARDMENT AFFAIR
Young Man who Armed Himself with a Sledge Hammer and a Bottle of Condensed "Skunkum" and Proceeded to War on the Apartments of the Whites, Mother and Daughter, Fails to Convince His Honor that this was the Proper Method of Collecting Rent.
Walter Satterwhite, who was charged with disturbing the peace of Mrs. Rachel White and daughter one fine day recently, left $50 with Recorder Starke yesterday by way of a fine and considered himself very lucky that the court did not make it twice that amount.
Satterwhite is the young man who recently went to the house occupied by the White family in Third street, which they rented from his mother, armed with a large sized sledge hammer and a big bottle of disinfectant (?). He battered the door down and turned some of the vile smelling contents of the bottle loose for the benefit of the tenants.
Mrs. White and daughter at once had Satterwhite arrested on a charge of disturbing the peace, having failed to convince the District Attorney that a charge of attempted murder should be preferred against him.
The trial yesterday was full of interest from the vantage ground of the spectator. The complainants with tear-filled eyes, the bottle of horrid smelling stuff, the sledge-hammer, etc., were all in evidence as the story of the strange affair was told. Satterwhite as a defense claimed the woman owed him three months rent, that he had given them a month's notice to move, and he supposed the house had been vacated, as he had failed to receive a reply when he rapped on the door that morning. All the circumstances of the affair failed to exactly harmonize in the mind of the court who accordingly pronounced him guilty. Judge Rolfe represented Satterwhite, while H. W. Nisbet appeared in behalf of the White women.
In the 1910 U. S. census, 26 yr. old Walter Satterwhite, a law student, b. in CA., was unmarried and living at 1844 South Flower in Los Angeles Assembly District 72, Los Angeles, CaA. with his
63 yr. old mother, Mary A McDonald, no occupation, b. in UT.
Mary was listed as married for a second time, although her husband was not living in the household and it doesn't state how long she had been married.
Mary was the mother of 9 children, only 4 still alive by this census.
Mary's father was b. in KS. and her mother in TX.
Walter's father was b. in SC.

BOMBARDMENT BY WALTER SATTERWHITE
NEW METHOD OF COLLECTING RENT
Goes to the Rooms of Mrs. R. White and Daughter with a Sledge Hammer. - What Happened. - Efforts at Arrest Later by the Woman Prove Fruitless. - Lively Old Time it was.
There are several ways of collecting delinquent rent. Some people use a shotgun, but Walter Satterwhite, a young man well-known in the city, just takes an old-fashioned sledge hammer and "goes after it." Walter is not a professional knocker but the way he battered in the door of a room in the Satterwhite building, in Third street, yesterday morning will put him in the lead as a candidate for such honors.
It seems that a Mrs. R. White and daughter have been making their home in the room in question and, according to Mrs. Mary McDonald, the owner of the building, the tenants had failed to pay their rent. Mrs. McDonald communicated the situation of affairs to her son, Walter Satterwhite, and the latter, arming himself with the family sledge-hammer, went forth. After wearing two thicknesses of cuticle off his knuckles in a vain endeavor to rouse the inmates of the apartments, he drew his sledge-hammer and began sounding the panels. People down stairs were just making up their mind that an escaped pile-driver had driven into the flat above when the door gave way, and falling inward, struck Miss White upon the forehead. She said she was just coming to open it when the thing happened. And then the fun began and the stories took different roads.
The scene now changes to the police court and, anon, the District Attorney's office. The Whites visited both these places in a fruitless endeavor to procure a warrant for Satterwhite's arrest. They wanted him arrested for attempted murder in all sorts of degrees, saying he had assaulted them with a sledge-hammer and threatened to throw carbolic acid in their faces. In evidence of this last, Deputy District Attorney Byrne was taken to the building where the bombardment had occurred and introduced to a strong smell of the acid. There was also a bottle partly filled with the poison lying in the hallway. Inquiry, however, developed the fact that Marshal Shay, who was on the field of battle shortly after Satterwhite opened fire, had not detected the odor nor had he noted the vial on the floor.
It is true that the man with the hammer had come reinforced with a pint bottle of carbon-di-sulphide with which to drive the inmates from the stronghold in case the sledge failed to go off, but liquid measures were not necessary.
As for the carbolic, some small boy must have left it there while the Whites were out looking for the hangsman. But be that as it may, there seemed to be no good evidence upon which Satterwhite could be held, and neither he nor his sledge-hammer were held to answer.

Walter Satterwhite, the son of Mrs. Mary McDonald, who bombarded the apartments of Mrs. Rachael White in the Third street Satterwhite building with a sledge hammer last Saturday, renewed the attack Sunday and as a result will be obliged to face a charge of disturbing the peace.
Having failed in his attempt to drive the Whites from the rooms last week, Satterwhite reversed his methods by determining to board up the Third street entrance. With the idea of placing his theory in practice he migrated to the said entrance in company with an armful of boards and pockets bulging with railroad spikes and other nails.
Arriving at the place, Satterwhite proceeded to sew up the doorway and was busy with his task when Miss White discovered him and rang in the alarm. Among those with responded was Officer Clews, who told the stockade builder that he would have to desist or expect to be arrested. At this, Satterwhite beat a retreat, but he had already committed himself to an extent warranting his arrest for disturbing the peace, and upon this charge he was arrested yesterday morning upon the complaint of Miss White. The case was called before Judge Starke and Satterwhite's trial was set for 10 o'clock Friday morning.

WOMEN FIGHT WHEN EVICTION IS ATTEMPTED
San Bernardino Landlord Gets Into Trouble When He Tries to Oust Undesirable Tenants
SAN BERNARDINO, June 7 - The obstinate resistance Mrs. Rachel White and her daughter are offering to the efforts of their landlady's son, Walter Satterwhite, to evict them for non-payment of rent is the topic of conversation here. The young man's latest move was an attempt to close up the entrance to the building by nailing boards across the door.
The women pounced upon him and put him to flight. He was arrested and warned that he would be locked up without benefit of bail if he persisted. Satterwhite says civil proceedings cost too much money.

RECORDER PILES IT ON TO WALTER SATTERWHITE
IS FINED $50 FOR BOMBARDMENT AFFAIR
Young Man who Armed Himself with a Sledge Hammer and a Bottle of Condensed "Skunkum" and Proceeded to War on the Apartments of the Whites, Mother and Daughter, Fails to Convince His Honor that this was the Proper Method of Collecting Rent.
Walter Satterwhite, who was charged with disturbing the peace of Mrs. Rachel White and daughter one fine day recently, left $50 with Recorder Starke yesterday by way of a fine and considered himself very lucky that the court did not make it twice that amount.
Satterwhite is the young man who recently went to the house occupied by the White family in Third street, which they rented from his mother, armed with a large sized sledge hammer and a big bottle of disinfectant (?). He battered the door down and turned some of the vile smelling contents of the bottle loose for the benefit of the tenants.
Mrs. White and daughter at once had Satterwhite arrested on a charge of disturbing the peace, having failed to convince the District Attorney that a charge of attempted murder should be preferred against him.
The trial yesterday was full of interest from the vantage ground of the spectator. The complainants with tear-filled eyes, the bottle of horrid smelling stuff, the sledge-hammer, etc., were all in evidence as the story of the strange affair was told. Satterwhite as a defense claimed the woman owed him three months rent, that he had given them a month's notice to move, and he supposed the house had been vacated, as he had failed to receive a reply when he rapped on the door that morning. All the circumstances of the affair failed to exactly harmonize in the mind of the court who accordingly pronounced him guilty. Judge Rolfe represented Satterwhite, while H. W. Nisbet appeared in behalf of the White women.
In the 1910 U. S. census, 26 yr. old Walter Satterwhite, a law student, b. in CA., was unmarried and living at 1844 South Flower in Los Angeles Assembly District 72, Los Angeles, CaA. with his
63 yr. old mother, Mary A McDonald, no occupation, b. in UT.
Mary was listed as married for a second time, although her husband was not living in the household and it doesn't state how long she had been married.
Mary was the mother of 9 children, only 4 still alive by this census.
Mary's father was b. in KS. and her mother in TX.
Walter's father was b. in SC.

Miss Hatherly Bride of Walter Satterwhite in San Francisco
The announcement of a marriage solemnized in San Francisco Saturday will bring unusual interest, and also surprise, to a wide circle of friends of the bride, Miss Elizabeth Hatherly, more familiarly known here as "Dolly" Hatherly, and Walter Satterwhite of San Francisco, formerly of San Bernardino, and of a well-known family here.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hatherly of Mill street, and is well-known in the young people's circles of the First M. E. church, is held in warm affection by all her friends, and has a wide acquaintance among business people and the public, having been with the Barnum Stationery company and the Barnum-Flagg company for the past eight years, as their bookkeeper, having resigned just a week ago. She is a graduate of the high school.
The marriage occurred at the Howard Presbyterian church in San Francisco, the pastor, Rev. John C. Lundy reading the service, which was witnessed by a group of friends.
The bride, who is a very attractive young woman in personality as well as appearance, wore a very becoming dark blue tailored suit with white georgette blouse and dark blue Maline bonnet-shaped hat with two white wings forming the jaunty trimming.
Though both bride and groom have long claimed San Bernardino as home and the groom has been a frequent visitor here ever since he has lived elsewhere, their acquaintance and the romance had a beginning only last summer when both were visitors to Catalina Island. The groom, who is in the Southern Pacific offices, is a son of Mrs. Mary McDonald, and a brother of the well-known attorney, Assemblyman Satterwhite of Alameda.
The groom has an attractive and cosy apartment at 1010 Haight street ready for the bride and they will be at home there after a short wedding trip.
The congratulations and good wishes of the many friends of both will be forwarded to the northern city from San Bernardino.
Walter & Dollie Satterwhite had one child:
Elizabeth Marie Satterwhite, b. Sep. 30, 1920 in San Bernardino county, CA. and d. Apr. 22, 2008 (last residence Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo county, CA. according to the Social Security Death Index). Elizabeth marr. first, Louis Martin Behrends, second, _ Eggleston, _ and third, Ellis Carr.

Attorney Satterwhite in Denial of Wife's Charge
Walter Satterwhite, attorney of Los Angeles and well-known here, has secured an order for change of venue to Los Angeles in the action brought here by his wife for separate maintenance.
"The charge of desertion and that I refused to provide a home is inaccurate," said Mr. Satterwhite, "and when the case is tried I will demonstrate this. My wife came to San Bernardino on a visit and never returned. I have offered to take her to San Francisco. Since she left me I have sought to persuade her to return, but she refuses. As recent as May 15 I again offered to take her away from her mother's home and provide for her, and she declined. If the case goes to trial I will come here and take Mrs. Satterwhite to Los Angeles and give her an opportunity to tell her side of the story to the court."
