WAS NE MARRlEO2 NO.

Il
State of Kansas have been for some time
past very much worked up over the doings
Of Freddie Click, the Governors son, while
the young man was in Albuquerque with
the editorial excursion party.
| II seems that Freddie was only guest Of
the excursiopists, and had been invited moi
because he was in any way connected with
Journalism, but simply because his father
was Governor of the State OF Kansas.
In the early days Of the excursion it was
discovered by some OF the more curious
that the scion of the house OF Click was ac-
companied by young woman, whom he
was not particularly anxious to introduce
to the other members of the party. In fact,
most of the time was spent by the two in
each Others company and the intrusions Of
any third party was politely resented by
both. Chihuahua was reachedand the two,
SO report goes, were lost to the remainder
of the gay excursionists, and an appear
ance was only put in when the train was
ready TO start for this city.
On the arrival of the editorial party here
young Click and his fair friend were seen
riding about the city, and again arm-in-arm
promenading our avenues.
What happened in this city is best told..by
several interviews which the Journal man
had Yesterday with two or three OF our
clergymen:
.Mr. Manual" said the Journal reporter,
81 have here q copy of the Wichita EAGLE,
In which 1t is stated that the Presbyterian
minister, at Albuquerque is supposed to
have performed the wedding ceremony at
the marriage Of Freddie Click. You are
the only Presbyterian minister in this city,
l believe, and OF course you must be the
person referred to. Did You marry the
coupler
al did not" said Mr.. Manaul, "but am
free to state that young Click requested me
to act
"win you be kind enough to tell the
Journal readers what was said and donef"
"why certainly. Mr.. Click came to my
house and asked me IL would marry a
couple. I replied that ! should be most
happy to do so provided all parties were
willing. He then brought forward the
ysung woman and wanted the ceremony
performed ut once. or course, when l
found out who he was and how matters
stood, requested him to furnish two wit
uesses from the excursionists."
"Did he objectv
eyes, he said he would rather not. /
then told him frankly that did not think
either his partner or himself were Of age.
He assured me that both were over twenty
one years Of age, and that they desired to
be married.
"what did yea have 10 say TO thatr'
"I met that by . suggestion that we tele-
graph to Papa Click, but he wouldn't hear
Of that for momont. I. Of course, under
the circumstances refused to marry them
and they went away. / met young Click
again that same evening and he tried to pre-
vail upon me to withdraw my objection,
which Of course refused to do"
"Then be didn't succeed in his endeavors
to join the grand army Of Benedictss"
81 think not, for have inquired OF sew
eral other clcrgymen and find that they did
not marry the couple.
Rev. Mr.. Kistler, the Methodist clergy
man, stated that he had been requested to
act in the matter, but that he absolutely re-
fused to have any thing to do with the mat
ter.
Both clergymen arc confident now that
young Click was still a bachelor when he
left Albuquerque.
So this 10 the end Of this matter. Young
Click was np< married In this city, and the
Kansas papers can rest easily now that this
vv~.s yn~.a- hoo has bean settled.
