A Disappointed would-Be Bridegroom.
Local Affairs.
ANAHEIM, Nov. 11.-An interesting
romance was enacted here today, the
end OF which is not yet. A young fell
low, whom we will call De Jones, had
been paying assiduous attentions to a
young woman working in one of our city
restaurants for the past three weeks or
go, and the couple decided to get mar
ried. The happy De Jones made the
necessary arrangements with one of our
good-looking and portly justices to tie
the knot this afternoon, and then he
hied himself to the county seat to pro-
cure the required legal document. In
the meantime the young lady, evidently
repentipg of her rash act, skipped
out" and when the prospective BRIDE
groom returned with the license that
was to legalize the union of two happy
hearts, behold the bride was nowhere to
be found. Did the young fellow, in his
despair, buy cheap revolver and blow
his brains out? Oh no; he skirmished
about town till he found a friend who
loaned him some money on his gold
watch and wedding outfit, he jumped
aboard the steam cars, and is even now
in hot pursuit OF the fleeing and fckle
beauty. We anxiously await the sequel.
