Walter Wester, a Santa Fe man, who has been in the U.S. Navy the past two years, returned to Barstow Tues day. Wester has only been out of the Navy three weeks, and the first thing he did after receiving his discharge at Mare Island was to don civilian clothes, and after a visit to the home of his folks in Berkeley, left for Los Angeles, where he was met by Miss Adeline Smith a former Barstow girl, and then he enlisted for life but not in the Navy, as the following paragraph will show: Mr. Webster and Miss Smith were married September 29, 1919, and will make their home in Barstow. The bride will arrive in Barstow in a few days or as soon as Walter finds a vacant house. Eleven months of Wester’s time in the Navy were spent in the North Sea, on the battleship Delaware, at which a couple of torpedos were fired with poor aim. When he arrived back on the At lantic coast he was transferred to the battleship Rhode Island and sent to the Pacific coast by way of the Panama. Since getting his discharge he has been offered positions at other places, but says he couldn't resist the tempta tion to return to Barstow. Webster was employed as car in spector in the local Santa Fe yards be fore enlisting in the Navy, but now he sarted to work on the repair track and as soon as there 18 a vacancy will get back his old place.
