oonnubial knot was tied, have made the
case quite celebrated and given it all the
essentials of catchy sensation. Miss
Ella TaYIor is the pretty l7-yesr-old
daughter Of J +, Taylor, a weli-toao
s,ookmsn OF Bendera and late candidate
toc sheriff of that county. She possesses

low, buSs reckless, daring and thoroughly
dissipated were his habits that Mr.. Taylor
forbade the young fellow to visit his
