BOUND TO GET MARRIED.
The McCormick-RockefeIler Nuptals to Be Celebrated in the Grooms Apartments
 on Account of His Illness.

New York, Nov. 25-On Thursday last MT. Harold F. McCormick was taken with a severe cold, resulting in an at- otack of pleurisy. It was fully expected that he would sufficiently recover to be married to Miss Rockefeller in the church tomorrow, as announced, but late this afternoon consultation was held with his physicians and they decided that he would be mourning a serious risk of pneumonia in leaving his room. For this reason 1t became necessary to announce that the ceremony cannot take place at the church, but will be performed at the appointed hour at MT. McCormick's apartments, the immediate members of the families only being present The wedding reception will take place at the residence of MT. and Mrs. John D. Rocke- feller, No. 4 West Fifty-fourth street, at 12:3O, as previously announced.
 Among the friends of the Rockefellers and McCormicks there was great disap- pointment, and much sympathy was ex- pressed when the illness of the young man became known. Elaborate prepa- rations had been made for the wedding, which promised to rank in brilliancy with the Paget- Whitney and Marlbo- rough-Vanderbilt hymenials.
 The marriage was to have been sol- emnized at noon tomorrow in the Fifth avenue Baptist church, and the beautiful -edifice was to have been magnificently decorated for the ceremony. Over 1000 invitations had been issued, and alto gether a great social function was looked forward to-. A hundred or more invited guests had arrived. from Chicago. and there were scores more from Cleveland. Baltimore. Buffalo and other cities.
 This evening the members of both fam files were kept busy notifying freinds. of the change in the pro9ramme. The bride and groom-elect expressed their re- gret at being compelled to diappoint their friends, but they say there was no other course to pursue. as neither of them would consent to a postponement of the ceremony.

A BIG CAPTURE.
foIe Men. Alleged to be Cattle Thieves.
Arrested with Bunch Of Stolen
Cattle They are In jail.

For some time back indication have
been pointing to the fact that reg
ulated gang of cattle thieves were
plying their nefarious work in the
vicinity of Ardmore, but the manage
, ment OF their operations has baffied
All attempts to locate them.
The repeated cutting of wire fences
around pastures, evidently for pur-
poses other than the malicious mis-
chief attached thereto, also created
comment
Among other fences cut was that
around the pasture belonging to Bob
aScivally This latter gentleman has,
for the past five days and nights,
been keeping vigilant lookout
around his property, and yesterday
morning between the hours of , and
3 o'clock, during ! drenchihg rain,
his lonely watch was broken by the
approach Of some parties driving a
bunch of cattle He let them go on,
and they were driven into the past
ure of old man Earl, who lives some
live miles northeast from here.
Mr.. Scivally quickly informed other
parties Of the affair, and dispatched
i; messenger after officers. They,
while repairing to the scene, came
upon a party driving small bunch
of cattle towards town. On seeing
the officers the man whose name
was John Treat pat spurs to his
horse and fled, with Officer Pulliam
in pursuit, who fired twice with his
Winchester at him, but Treat got
away. After bringing the cattle to
town they they went to Earls pas
ture, and captured Oscar, alias
Cheat Finley, J. P. Treat, Frank
Vaughn and r. N, the old man, Earl
whom they brought to town, and
lodged in Jail.
The stolen cattle-23 head in all
were the property of one Hunter
and his neighbors living around
Buckhorn. They had sold some of
the stock to Joe Schmidt, the butch
er here, and also disposed of 13 head
to party who was buying cattle in
the country.
Just how long they have been in
the business is not known, but that
Mr.. Scivally has been Instrumental
through his persistent watchful-
ness-in unearthing this matter, no
one can deny, and he certainly de-
serves the praise and thanks of all
law abiding citizens.
Investigation on Monday may re-
suit in bringing to light the fact that
others are implicated in this whole
sale thievihg.
The man Treat who made his es-
cape is a brother to the one now in
jail. An uncle of Mr.. Scivally, who
lives near the scene of the capture
says he is satisfied that one of Pull
iam's shots took effect as he saw
the fleeing fugitive reel in his saddle
If this is true his capture is assured
