The sensational Orr case is still the
| talk of Sioux City, and it looks as
though not near all the remarkable
story has yet become public, nor will
for some time. 1t is now known that
the bride, she who was Martha Latimer
Gerard, is a member of a we'll
known aristocratic French family,
with American connections emitting
her to entrance to high social
. | CilNANH. N'it 10 d ultCt III btIl. Mt1OOh,
of the famous fighting McCook family.
1t also transpires that pending the en-
gagement of young Orr and the woman
in Paris, her mother cabled to party
in Sioux City to know if the representa-
tons of the sutton as to the wealth OF
his parents were true, and the presump-
ton is that on receiving the favorable
reply which was sent, the wedding de-
tails were arranged. The Orrs live in
one of the costliest residences in Sioux
City.
