CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Jan. 16.-A
rather amusing and interesting case was
concluded in the municipal court here
today, Last week James Peterman. of
this county, appeared before a justice
of the peace with a bright little girl of
fourteen summers hanging to his arm.
He demanded to be married at once.
The justice refused without the written
consent of the girls parents. The rustic
lover left his sweetheart in the office
and started Off, as the justice supposed.
to obtain the necessary consent. After
remaining away certain length of time.
he returned with the forged consent of
the girls mother, inducing his sweet
hearts little sister to sign her mothers
name. The lovers were then married,
The father of the girl, Mr.. Raycroft,
upon learning the particulars, suddenly
terminated the honeymoon by having
his young son-in-law arrested for forg-
cry. The trial resulted iii the Young
man being held to appear for trial at
the next term OF the circuit court, under
$500 bonds. The case has created CON
siderable interest.
