MISSOURI STATE NEWS.


Miss Lillian Shaffer. of Pittsburgh,
Pa, was married at Sedalia to George
X. Grant, of the Forepaugh show.
Grant is better known as ''Karlavagn,
the electric tattooed man" Miss Shat
fer, while living with wealthy aunt
who had adopted her, met Karlavagn
two years ago, and was at once en-
raptured. Her aunt sent her to Eu-
rope. hoping to destroy the girls in
fatuation for the tattooed, but. as the
sequel shows. distance and time could
not undo the letters which Cupid had
forged. Several weeks ago Manager
McCaddon of the Forepaugh shows,
while at Cedar Rapids, Ia. was
approached by a young lady who
claimed to be a jockey rider. lie
allowed her to give a trial exhibit
ton, and, being satisfied with her
efforts, engaged her. While at Sedalia
Mr.. Cooper received dispatch from
Pittsburg asking if a Miss Shaffer was
with the show. 1t was shown to the
young lady, and she requested that the
| answer be withheld until afternoon.
just before the street parade took place
Grant and Miss Shaffer procured a
license, and few minutes later were
united in marriage by Judge Milo Bair.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Grant
returned to the show grounds, when
Mr., Cooper was informed of the we'd
ding and requested to reply to the in
quiry received from Pittsburg that Miss
Shaffer was not with the show, but
Mrs. Grant was. In order to remain
with her husband, who is a side-show
attraction, she will probably retire
from bippodrome racing and submit
herself to the tatooer's hands, and
blossom out in the spring as Il tatooed
lady.
