THE CONTRACT ROUTE.
Young Lovers BaffIed i'm the Marriage
License Office.


A young man, accompanied by a pretty
girl, appeared at the desk Of the marriage
license deputy in the County Clerks Office
yesterday morning. In busness-like way
he asked Mr.. Healy for license to wed.
The young man said his name is Willis S.
Gooch. ana his age 81. The girls name is
Cora Waterhouse. and her age IS. He was
from Pennington. San Joaquin County, and
she was resident of Modesto.
Mr.. Healy flied up the blanks in the reg
lister OF marriage licenses, and both of the
young people looked serenely happy. The
course of true love, however, received its
traditional check when the young man was
requested to make the necessary affidavits
Il cannot swear that she is 49," he said.
Then I'm very sorry" replied Clerk
Healy. 1T is contrary to law TO issue a
license unless We are satisfied by the oath
of the parties that they are of lawful age
or unless the consent OF parent or guard
ian is obtained where either is minor"
Young Mr.. GOOch seemed quite crestfallen
over this revelation. He informed the
clerk that Cora would be OF age within a
month. Mr.. Healy thereupon advised them
to postpone the happy day.
This advice fell upon reluctant ears. and
Mr.. G0ocb. after pause, said he had come
to San Francisco TO be married, and If he
could not secure a license he would marry
by contract
The young couple left in pursuit of some
body who would draw up document that
would make the tie secure. In Justice Will
lett they found gentleman ready to ac-
cOmmodate them. After signing the paper
Willis and Cora left the City Hall arm in
arm and with a mingled look of curious
pride and victory in their happy faces.
The persons who witnessed this incident
are prepared to make an affidavit upon in
formation and belief that the principals are
parties to a runaway match and that in ter
esting developments may be expected.

WAYMIRE DECEIVED.
A Crafty FOrger Gets Him to Indorse
q Check.


Check.
Detective John Seymour made an arrest
yesterday which was very pleasing to Chief
Crowley and Captain Lees. The man ar
rested was John F. Mcintyre, and two
charges of forgery were placed against his
name.
On December 8 last Mcintyre presented a
draft for $40 on Wells. Fargo & Co.'S
bank, purporting to be Endorsed by James
Carroll, captain OF the steamer Queen Of the
Pacific. The bank refused to pay the
money, and Mcintyre went to James A.
Waymire. who also Endorsed the draft, the
bank then paying the money tc McIniyre
When the draft was presented 20 Captain
Carroll he promptly declared his signature
to be forgery. Mr.. Waymire then had to
pay the amount Of the draft.
The next exploit Of Mcintyre was TO
draw check for S125 on the Pacific Bank.
To this check he forged the name Of j. NJ.
l.. Slattery of 315 California street McIn-
tyre then gave the check to S. G.. BuZZe, a
saloon keeper on Haght street, near the
park. in payment for large liquor bill.
BuZZel presented the check for payment,
but discovered that the signature was d
forgery.
The cases were reported to the police and
Detective Seymour was detailed. Mcintyre
was very snrewd in his movements and
avoided detection by keeping away from
his old haunts. Tie was finally run down by
Seymour. Mcintyre claimed to have been
working for the Guaranty Mercantile and
Collection Agency, and when arrested had
a number Of its contracts in his pocket. He
is a native Of Portland and 20 years of age.
Mcintyre passed a forged Nevada Bank

How Twain Went to

The Hawaiian matter has of course re-

one Of them the other night. There was
something happening down at the Islands
which required looking up, and as Mark
had cultivated that ground sufficiently to be
pretty familiar with its various crops Of
good and evil the detail was assigned to
him.
when anything of special importance
was placed in his hands he required to be

the sack belonged may have secreted it in
