SLY TRICK Of A
WIDOW IN LOVE
Marries the Bachelor
BetrOthed to Her
Daughter.
Ties Fast the Girl and CuteIy
Impersonates Her in
the Dark.
The Man Astonlshed, but Satisfied
to Find Himself Welded to the
Enterprising Mother.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 23.-Widows
are proverbially designing. When they
set their hearts upon marrying a man
there is little hope for his escape, and he
might as well surrender at discretion. A
story comes from the White Oak region of
Kentucky that illustrates this fact. 1t IS
an unusual complication, too, the widow
in the case having her own daughter for a
rival. Martha Berry was fair and 40 but
whether fat or not the deponent sayeth
not. Some years ago she lost her husband,
but daughter remained to comfort her
and to be comforted. This daughter, Ma
tilda, has iust reached the age of is and is
fair to look upon. In the neighborhood
OF the Berry domicile lived Johnson Whit
ley, prosperous farmer of 80 and wild
over. Whitley has been paying attention
10 Mrs. BeTry's daughter for six months,
and II was supposed generally they would
be married soon. The mother would not
give her consent but she did not object
10 the young widower's calls. He pleaded
with the widow for the hand OF her
daughter 10 no purpose, and the young
people decided on an elopemept
All the arrangements were made for the
elopement, but the watchfuI mother dis
covered what was on foot and on Friday
night, the time set for the elopement, she
went to her daughters room shortly after
dark and bound the girl hand and foot.
She also tied gag in her mouth aud took
her to her own room and tied her to the
bed. She then returned to her daughters
room and when Whitley came 10 steal
away his love the widow answered the
summons and without speaking q word
Joined the young man in the yard. II as
sisted her into the buggy and drove with
her TO Grayson, the county seat of Carter
County, where he had arranged with Judge
Morris TO perform the ceremony.
Whitley was surprised at The silence of
his panion, but as she leaned confid-
ingly on his arm and appeared to be Sob
bIng all the time, he could do nothing
more than caress her now and then and
cheer her up by telling her that her
mother would forgive her. II was not
until after the ceremony was performed
on the Judges front porch and they had
repaired I'D hotel that the bridegroom
saw that he had married the widow. He
decided at once to make the best of the
situation. He took his welded wife home,
and to a neighbor he said that although
dead in love with Matilda, he always did
think a great deal of her handsome
mother. Matilda was discovered bound
in her mothers room by a neighbor the
next morning and when she learned OF
the trick her mother had played her she
said that although she thought she loved
Mr.. Whitley, she is now satisfied she did
not. She promises 10 be a dutiful daugh-
ter to him.

disease germs can be bred by unsanitary
practice. The case is in the Superior
Court and was brought by CIeIand against
the South Side Irrigation Company for
damages sustained by being deprived of
sewage to irrigate his orchard and garden
in the city. The irrigating company re-
fused to sell sewage 10 CleIsnd, claiming
that his method of handling it was a
menace to the neigh borhood's health,
thus making the company subject to
damage suits. The defense is introducing
doctors and psychological experts to
show how microbes breed and spread
under certain conditions, and that the
sewage of the irrigating company must
be carefully handled in city gardens to
prevent disastrous result.

passengers, as,was to be expected, be-
came very much frightened, and the con-

valuables under the seats, in the GUS
pad ores, in the ash pans of the heaters,
and wherever a hasty ingenuity might
suggest. The train stopped and the
men boarded the train, ss the express
messengers were preparing to save
their lives dearly; and several women
passengers became hysterical and
wanted to throw themselves into the
arms of some man. But, 10 and be-

tails, it became apparent that these
hard looking citizens were not train
robbers, but merely held up the train
