Mr.. Collins also spoke of the time

this story of him.
"The early travelling of the elder in

last evening by Probate Judge j. G..

white, aged 10, were made husband and
wife. The bride was accompanied by
her mother and sister, and the mother,
Mrs Hattie A. McElroy fled her written
consent before the ceremony proceeded

Kelly announced his mission, but he
was equal TO the emergency. He wiped
the top of his head with a large hand
kerchief, turned his cuffs upside down,
put on his coat and took down the hymn
book in which he has a marriage
ceremony pasted. He did not conform
to the Episcopal service throughout, and
the prayer was omitted.
The bride wore thin white silk dress
made prettily with large sleeves. She
was an attractive appearing girl The
groom is quiet. well behaved good
looking young man and was dressed in

When W. c. Gray, who was at the pic
mic, came to Kansas in 1857 he ate his
first meal on the border at the old brick
hotel at Kansas City, or what was then
Westport. Beside him at the table sat
the immortal Jim Lane. Lane was
feared and hated then as much perhaps
as he was at any time in his life. The
