Edward Chase, of Gladwin County,
and Mrs. Anderson, Of East Saginaw, were
married a few days since after a rather
curious courtship. Some time ago, Chase
who is the owner of farm in Gladwin,
and single man, though well on in life's
journey, applied to Owen Bowers to obtain
for him suitable housekeeper, and was
as result, introduced to Mrs. Anderson
who is about his own age. The couple
were quite favorably impressed with each
other on first sight, and soon became suffi-
ciently well acquainted to admit of Chase
proposing matrimony. He told her of his
farm, described its beauty in glowing Ian
guage, and invited her to become it's mis-
tress. But Mrs. A. had never seen the
farm and was not satisfied to accept as
truth other peoples impressions, so she
deferred giving decided answer until the
next time her granger lover should be in
the city, and he returned home alone. A
few days later Mrs. Anderson took steps to
inform herself about the real facts con-
cerning the farm. She boarded train
and was deposited at point several miles
from the Chase place just as the shades of
night were falling. The only thing in
sight that bore any resemblance to a
human habitation was deserted lumber
camp, and to this the traveller made her
way found it deserted, and at once took
possession. Having made fire to counter
act the chilling effects of the night, she
wrapped herself in her cloak and slept till
morning, when she set out on foot to find
the Chase farm. Two dollars hired a
passing farmer to carry her to her destina-
tion, and in short time made survey of
the place and informed the proprietor she
was ready to we'd him. Together the two
went to East Saginaw and were married
and then hied them back.
