STORY OF HIS MARRIAGE.
About two weeks before last New Year
a bright, good-looking young woman from
South Carolina WAS on visit to her cousin.
Mr.. Dopher, the station agent at Cedar Keys.
BARRIERS shop. The Mayors voice was thick
with pathos and whisky. He was on
"tear." He said: "Dopher, introduce me
to that cousin of yours and I'll marry her
within two weeks" Mr.. Dopher replied
that that was not the time or place to talk
of such thing and that Cottrell was
not in a fit state TO mention a lady
at all. Cottrell resoIted to his usual
argument and drew his pistol. Dopher Grew
his and several shots were fired without any
more harm being done than the smashing of
a pane of glass. The young woman was at
that time engaged to leading lawyer in
Jacksonville, but a few days after the meet
ing in the barber-Shop Cottrell became ac-
Quainted with her and she sent back her en-
gagement-ring and presents to her old
sweetheart He came to Cedar Keys and
expostuiated in vain. Cottrell won his
bride and they were married within the
fortnight, as he had said they should be.
They spent their honeymoon in Jackson
vile, and Cottrell promised to reform and
become a most exemplary citizen.
On their return four days later, however,
Cottrell was drunk again. They were living
at Bellatna's Hotel, and Bellatina refused
to supply Cottrell with any more liquor. A
fracas at once followed. Cottrell pursued
the saloon-keeper all over the house. He
broke through two rooms successfully, but
Bellatina's wife threw herself before the
door of the room in which her husband was
hiding and said that Cottrell would
have to kill her before he gained an en-
trance. This Sobered him up a little, and he
pocketed his pistol and Withdrew. The
next day he had Bellatina arrested and took
possession of the bar, quenching the thirst
which consumed all his companions until
there was nothing left but water in the
house.
These are only a few instances of the
mans brutality, and everybody is grateful
that he is we'll out of the town. His young
wife had the silent sympathy of the whole
district after her haSty marriage, and every
body is sorry for her IN her hour of trial.
