DALLAS, TEX, Dec. 1S-The sensa-
tion of the day is the stormy time that a
newly married couple had last night at
A. J. Grissom 8, about seven miles from
The city. The story goes that w. G.
Tomlin and Miss Ellen. Franklin were
married last night, and after the house
hold had retired a host of folk living IN
the neighborhood gathered around the
house with tin pans, horns, whistles, and
other instruments, and gave the newly
welded pair an old time chiyarari.
It seems that y0ung
nan i'll the crowd, Albert
Wilson. was a rejected lover of the bride,
md after the crowd had dispersed he re-
turned to the residence, effected an en-
rance into the bridal chamber and made
1, dramatic scene by jerking the bride out
Of bed and making himself generally dis
agreeable Tomlin, it appears, was
scared to death, and failed at the first
rattle of the box to protect the bride he
had but a few hours before sworn to
shield. The inmates of the house
were soon aroused, however, and
Wilson was duly fired from
the house. After the election, however,
4 bullet from a siX-shOOter came through
the window and struck the brid2. i'll the
side, making slight flesh wound. Two
young men came in this morning and re-
ported the affair, and deputy sheriff
was sent out to the scene of disturbance
and brought Wilson back with him. Will
son is in jail on Il charge of assault with
intent to kill.
