JOINED YET IN TWAIN
ParadoxicaI Condition Of a Pair of
Runaway Lovers.
Newly Married, But Agreeing TO a
Long Separation.
A Real Life Story Which Reads Like
a Romance.

sequent arrival in this city and the arrest
Of Hill by the Sheriff, was the subject OF
conversation yesterday.
Few, if any, knew of the occurrence
until it was published in the morning pa
pers and every one was anxious to learn
further particulars. The general impress
sion seemed to be that the parents would
relent and consent to the wedding. That
the impression proved to be the correct
one must be admitted, but the subsequent
contamination involves some peculiar and
even more romantic features.
Mr.. and Mrs. Heath, the mother and
father Of the young lady. arrived in this
city yesterday on the 1910 train. They
Immediately sought their daughter at the
Metropolitan hotel. OF course the elope-
ment of their daughter with Hill was a
shock to them and they did not wish the
wedding to take place and we're glad 10
find that it had boon prevented. Heath
went to the Jail to see Hill. Quite a long
interview took place and resulted in the
release of Hill They then went TO the
Metropolitan and the matter was discussed
at length.
As stated in yesterdays LEADER the
parents had no objection to the wedding
other than that they considered their
daughter too young to marry. For Hill
they had great respect aud .egard. He
had been with them over a year and they
looked on bin as one of the family. They
did lot dream of an elopement, but sup
posed that the couple were willing to wait
the desired length Of time.
In the afternoon Hill and Heath sought
an attorneys office. Here they stated
the object of their visit. They wanted an
agreement in writing to the effect that
there should be a marriage service pro-
nounced and that for three years there
should be a marriage in name only. The
attorney gravely dipped his pen in ink
and drew up the instrument which, with
generous profusion of ''saids, aforesaids
and the sames," nevertheless hound Hill
in writing to leave Miss Heath severity
alone for the period above stated. After
the instrument was duly sealed, signed,
executed and delivered, the preparations
for the wedding were actively commenced.
From the lawyers they went to the
Court house and informed the County
Clerk that they wanted the marriage
license. The instrument was prepared,
and it is said that the ~penmanship was
even more elegant than that of any of its
predecessors. The license having been
obtained, the minister was the next es-
sential requisite. A messenger was dis
patched for Rev. c. NJ. Sanders, of the
Congregational church.
He came, and preparations for the
wedding were soon completed.
The ceremony was performed in the
hotel parlors- Besides the officiating
clergyman there were present the father
and mother of the bride and one or two
of the hotel people. The center of attrac-
ton of course was the youthful bride.
Although there was an air of solemnity
about the whole affair she seemed quite
self possessed. She was very be%comingly
arrayed in a dress of dark material, which
fitted her nicely rounded figure to perfec-
ton. Her glossy chestnut hair was done
up in a simple Grecian knot, that gave
her a more matronly look than her years
entitled her to possess. A simple bunch
of flowers was her only ornament, but
there was a simple charm to her manner
that ~captivated all the very few spectators.
At a word from the clergyman Hill and
his bride stepped to the center of the
room, and a solemn and expectant hush
fell upon the spectators. The bride
trembled slightly and her color came and
went, but her agitation did not last long
The p%ortentious agreement of sepera-
ton Immediately after the marriage cere-
mony was then read. and the assent to its
stipulations publicly given by both of the
young people.
The marriage ceremony was then
quickly performed and the young couple
pronounced man and wife by the clergy
man. The bride with her mother imme-
diately retired to their rooms where their
goods wore quickly packed.
They reappearcd in a very short time
and left for the depot to catch the train
for the West. which was due in a few
minutes. Hill accompanied them to the
depot and had the satisfaction of receiv-
ing a final hand shake and loving look
from a pretty pair of eyes as the train
bowled away toward Rawlins,
Hill will remain in Cheyenne for a few
days, after which it is said he will take a
trip East
