in marriage on the 25th of this
month by the Rev. Mr.. Hinkle.
Mr.. Hinkle officiates in Antelope

procured his license in this county,
but as Mr.. Hinkle was in Mono
county, Cal, the young people went
there to get married. The minister
found that he could not marry the
couple in California on a Nevada
license, SO a party was made up
and came down to Rickey's stone
cabin, which is just this side of the

mony was performed. May the
young couple have long, happy
