A TRIPLE WEDDING.
Cheyenne the Scene of a Remarka,
bic Occurrence.
Three Weddings in One Day in the
Same Family.
A Mother and Two Daughters
United Under One Roof.

A single wedding by itself is Il matter of
considerable Importance and an event that
generally does not happen but once to
each individual in this life, and as the
Scripture tells never in the life to come, if
there is a life hereafter. and a double
wedding is an event of still greater i'm
portance. Double weddings seldom occur
in the same family and when they do it is
eminently fitting and proper that every
body should 60 wild over the occurrence.
But what shall we say of n triple wedding,
when three of the same family get mar
RED at the same time under the same
roof and by the same officer or clergyman?
1t is almost impossible TO indicate what
should be recorded, but that something
ought TO be said is very painfully apparent
to the ordinary mind. The most of u
people know either personally or by repu-
tation Mrs. r. Miller Harvicker, who at
the present time resides near Lake
Mahpahlutah and who formerly resided in
the city proper where she at one time kept
a boarding house. This lady is Tor was) a
widow, and her two daughters, one ofwhom
has lived here in Cheyenne ever since she
was a little girl. This daughter name is
Tor was) Luella Woolsey, but why she
bears this name we are unable to say,
nevertheless, she is Mrs. Harvicker's
daughter. There was another daughter
Dora Mills, who, if we are rightly in
formed, was not here in Cheyenne very
long, but went to the North Park, where
she was eventually married to j. G.
Mills, formerly city agent of The LEADER,
and at the time of his death was chair
man of the board of county commits
sioners of Grand county, Colorado, and
also an attorney at law. Mills was killed
in a riot in the park. Mrs. Harvicker
and her two daughters have of late been
living together under the same roof, and
as n family, at the place mentioned
near the lake. 1t has been stated for
some time hat there was to be a double
or perhaps II triple wedding at the lake,
for both mother and daughters had
s%uitors, and it seems that the prediction
was correct. Late on Saturday evening
last Mr.. Jeffrey's folks were called upon
by some one who inquired at the door for
the county clerk. The inquiring party
was told that he was down town.
Eventually T. j. Fisher, assistant county
clerk, was aroused from his slum-
bers and informed that parties
were in waiting who desired
to procure marriage licenses, Joe rubbed
his eyes a little as he came out to go to
the Court house and muttered something
about it being ''~doggoned late to come
around, but as there was a fee in sight
doc never refuses II when it is lying
around promiscuously) he quickly repaired
to the Court house and made out the IL
censes. Judge Fisher was then called on
and he consented to 60 up to the lake and
perform the ceremony, provided they
would procure a good easy carriage. This
was done and the Judge repaired to the
lake where the three couples were await
ing his coming. The three couples were
as follows Mr.. j, II. Mason and Mrs.
r. Miller Harvicker, Mr.. Harry Marx
and Miss Dora Mills, and Mr.. Chester w.
White and Miss Luella Woolsey. The
number of friends and acquaintance pres
ent was not large, but nevertheless, Judge
Fisher performed the ceremonies in the
latest and most approved style, and the
