marriage notice Of Tony Fisher and Libbic
FMtison we thought it WAS rather funny" said
business man of Sing Sing to-day. Tho no
ticc came out two or three weeks ago and tho
date Of the marriage was given AZ August %.
We know that Tony had waited some on Miss
Pattison. and had taken her out riding once;
but. as We Understood it. she Tilted him last
fall. They hayn't lived together that Is certain
Well. the next week the paper had an article
which said that the marriage notice was abso-
lntcly false. This made music in Sing Sing
Some OF us thought Tony was married. and
some of us thought he wasn't. Then. when
Tony published nn affidavit solemnly swearing
that ho had married. I.ibbic and giving the
minister's name. most Of rs thought he must be-
either crazy or else telling the truth. But we
were staggered n few days after 10 sec an am
davit sworn to 10y the minister who. a. Tony
says. married them. which contrad ted Ton, "a
story. There II rests now It's made good
deal Of talk hero. and there are two parties.
thrcc parties ought 10 say-those who think
Tony amt such u fool ~ to pcrure himself.
those who think Iibhic pattson would never
have married nm. and those VINO don know
