THAT SEA MARRIAGE
Again Knocked Out and Declared In
valid by Judge Allen

Judge Allen yesterday handed down
his opinion I'M the matter of Homer Nor
man VS.. Janette Thomson Norman. the
young people from Duarte who ran away
to sea and made a contract marriage,
and now want the court to declare it
valid
The matter was fully dealt with by
Judge Allen imm diately after the mar
riage on habeas corpus proceedings in
stituted by the girls father Precisely
the same facts were admitted in,the pres
ent suit, which was brought for the pur-
pose Of carrying the case to the supreme
court ard the finding of the court is in
every sense similar to the finding then
returned. In the course Of the opinion
the court says:
"The plaintiff admits that the place
where the contract was entered, into was
selected by him'for the purpose of evad-
ing the laws of the state of California
In relation to marriage, and yet he mod
estly prays court of the same state
whose laws he has sought to evade, by
its solemn decree, to join. with him in
giving force and effect to that attempt
to evade the law. We do not understand
that courts are organized to aid and abet
either violations or evasions of the
law"
Judgment was ordered for the defend
ant.

BREACH OF PROMISE
Marriage Of Senior Miguel to Sonora
Mercedes Valdez Called OF

Miguel Linares Is overcome with a
sense Of utter desolation, for he has lost
his bride, and in suit he began yester-
raoy he tells of the grief that is affect
ing him and the assessed valuation of
his woe.
On August 4th one Mercedes Valdez
consented to marry him and the day
following she coyly consented to name
the day. 1t was fixed for August 18th,
and so the Senor Miguel hied him to the
court house and had brief interview
with Cupid Kutz. paid over 5000 and
obtained very important bit of parch-
ment. The Sonora Mercedes is. so the
Senior Miguel relates, possessed of real
estate valued at 100000, and SO, doubt
less, there was much pleasure added to
the senor's view of marital happiness
ahead, for he was not blessed with
superabundance of the worlds goods.
1t had been arranged the marriage
should take place at the residence of the
Sonora Mercedes and at the appointed
time, and with his friends. he went to
her home. To his astonishment when he
offered himself as the affianced and
soon to be husband of the fair sonora
he was repulsed and, as he says, in a
rude and insolent manner" was ordered
by her to leave the house, not forgetting
to take his friends with him. Accord
ing TO the tone of the Senior Miguers
plaint he is just aching to marry the
damozel, while she has broken the COM
pact and his heart at the same time.
He assesses the damage at $4,000, and
for this amount asks Judgment.

HE WAS THE PUBLIC.

When the train reached Valley City,

a shanty depot. we saw man mounted
on a barrel under tree and evidently
making an address to man sitting on
the ground before him. The address
was concluded as he drew up, and a
moment later the orator boarded the
train. Some one asked him what sort
of performance had been going on and
he replied:
'Why. I came over here to address
the people of Cooper county on the BEN
efits of opening up the Stag river to
navigation, and have been speaking for
the last two hours"
But we didn't see any crowd

man on the grass, didn't you?"
Yes
"Well. he was all the crowd, and the
way he took me by the hand and
praised my humble effort makes me
feel proud He said it was the best
speech of the kind he ever listened 10. "
You don't mean TO say you got off
a twO-hour speech TO that one man, and
he an old duffer at that" exclaimed
one Of the crowd.
That's what l did, sir" replied the
orator, 'and l think / carried my point.
Yes, think he will help Davis county
to get the Stag River opened up TO
navigation"
But what can one man dCT'
