wife. and promised to pay the balance
next month. This case has occupied
the Judges attention several times be-
fore today.
PERMITTED TO MARRY.
Ausiness around the county clerks
office has been very quiet since the elec-
ton, there being very few callers for the
past week. Yesterday the monotony
was broken by the appearance OF q young
man from the classic precincts OF Orange,
who timidly asked for a permit to marry
q young lady from the same place.
The obliging deputy made out the fol.
lowing certificate: Elmer Dean, age %,
native of Wisconsin, and Maude A.
Wilbur, age %, native of Michigan.
Today another gentleman from the
same city asked for license to wed the
lady of his choice. HIS stepped up to
the desk very boldly and gave his name
as Robert Moon, age.41, native OF Mich
igan, and his fair charmer's cognomen
as Jennie Armstrong, age 30. native OF
Maryland. The marriage license busi-
ness has been at a standstill for some
time, but as Orange has made start in
that line the remainder of the county
should come forward and do their share.

THE sPRINTERS MEET.

sprinter, accompanied by his backer, j..
L. Black, arrived in town this afternoon
on the Ais train to view the town and
try and arrange the long. .talked-of-m match
with Tom c. Morris, the local runner.
In al interview with HERALD repre-
sentative Mr.. Quirk stated that he
thought Mr.. Morris was asking too
much when he (Morris) wished him to
come to Santa Ana and run the race and
post the money in a residents hands.
He said he was perfectly willing to run
in this city, provid ng the final stake
holder was an outside man. He would
like to name J. D. Wiley, president of
the Los Angeles Athletic club, or some
bank in the Angel City. He also
said he had travelled about 5000
miles and did not want to re-
return without match, as his expenses
were very heavy. Morris, he said, was
the first man that had defeated him in
75 yard race for IL years, and he only
wished for a chance to get even. He
informed the scribe that if he lost ne
would never 90 on the track again.
"There is no doubt that your man is
fast runner but think Jim can beat
him." put in Mr.. Black. At this point
the interview closed by both gentlemen
hoping the sprinters would come to
terms. Both men are willing to 60 out
of their way to get the desired match.
They returned to Los Angeles on the
evening train, as Mr.. Quirk is training &
every day at Athletic park.
