Marriage Of a Child.

from The Reese River Reveille, Feb Al
We learn from correspondent at Bel.
mont, that marriage took place there on
the 3lst nit, which produced considerable
excitement. A man, named Frank NJ
Main, was married to little girl of thir-
teen, without the consent, aud contrary to
the wishes Of her parents. Theg girls name
was Frances Ellis, and until lately she
lived in this city with her parents. The
parties were married by s. j Davis, Justice
of the Peace. On the morning Of the day
following the marriage, the father of the
child missed her, and suspccting the cause
of her absence, he went to Mains cabin,
accompanied by another man, where an
alteration took place between him and
his son-in-law, and shots were exchanged
without damage to either party. While
this was going on, the man who accom-.
panied the father seized the child-wife and
carried her home to her mother. Main, the
husband of The child, entered complaint
against Ellis, and Justice Davis caused
him to be arrested. But it appears the
residents Of Belmont whom are
flll-grown men, husbands, father and
brothers-rO en- nasse, and going to the
house Of the parents, rescued the child
wife and restored her toher husband, when
a procession was formed, and the parties
paraded through the town, amid repeated
