day morning with Mr..
Hubby, he drew a pis-
tol and threatened to
shoot her if she did not

married to him, and,
after obliging her to
consent, he said he
would shoot her at the
altar if she made any
resistance or refused to
to 90 on with tine cere-
mony. He then drove
to his residence on Sew
enth street and sent for
Rev. Mr.. Cross to come
and unite them. Mr..
Cross went as request
ed and was met by Mr..
Hubby, who handed
him a license in due
form, which Mr.. Cross
examined, and, finding
correct, he proceeded
with the ceremony.
During this time Mrs.
Thorpe sat on a lounge
with her head resting
on her hand and APP
parently in deep medi-
tation, but she stood
up at the request of
Mr.. Cross and madeline
re ponse of the Episco-
pal ceremony without
any sign of disturbance
till after the ring was to
be placed on her finger,
when she tainted. Nj.
Hubby placed his arm
around her, and adjust
ing the ring laid her on
the lounge and then
told Mr.. Cross that the
marriage was against
the wishes of her pa
rents, Col. and Mrs. E.
r. Brink. Soon after the
ceremony Mr.. Hubby
went over to the Egg
mont hotel and in
formed Mr.. and Mrs.

in the matter up to to-
night. Mrs. Thorpe re-
mains with her parents
at the Egmont hotel,

was that affairs would
terminate in a much
more satisfactory man.
