For several weeks a Mr.. New.

ceremony had not been made a
factor in the arrangement that
made these two souls with bu,
q single thought, etc. On ties
day night the police VISITED the
parties and placed them under
arrest. At the hearing on
Wednesday morning it appeared
that the woman whose name is
Stevenson was not his wife, and
the mayor imposed a fine of 500
on each and costs, which was
promptly paid by the man. 1t is
sad that he has a wife and fam
lily living in Washington. Nc
blame is attached to Mr.. and Mrs
Snyder who are trying to keep
an orderly house. They took the
parties. believing them to be man
and wife.
