Honeymoon at Night.
Wichita Eagle: Yesterday morning
at S o'clock Albert Kenchen was a
bachelor citizen of Woodward. Okla.
and stranger to Lizzie Chilles of
Wichita Last night at o'clock they
were husband and wife, by authority
of the probate judge and promise of
Rev. G. G. Press. pastor of the
Evangelical Protestant Friends church.
Albert used to live at Goddard, some
i've or six years ago, but when the
strip opened he went down where the
salt plain casts its white mirage
against the dry blue arch of the east
and took up a claim. He is a German
and a slayer. He stayed with his
claim against the bluff of sooners, the
tenacity of the scrubby black jack and
the dry whistle of the wind through the
parched buffalo sedge. Month in and
out year after year, he cleared brush
broke the patches of prairie, fried
bacon and .'fritters" mixed with water,
boiled potatoes with the Jackets on,
tended the truck patch, gathered the
sod corn and finally got tired of living
alone. He looked around all over Wood
ward and counties K and c., and all
the rest of the alphabet that he could
get TO. He frequently came TO Wichita
in his search visits, but went back
home single, lonesome and alone
Tuesday he came up for short visit
and stopped with Fritz Arnholz.
Lizzie Chilles is one of Fritz's fam
lily and has been for year, coming
here from Little Rock. Ark. She and
Albert had never met, but when he
went TO say goodbye TO the Arnholz
folks yesterday morning he turned to
Lizzie and asked:
You want to get married?'
She is only II and good looking. She
liked Albert's broad, frank face and
tender eyes, and she said in less than
three breathS:
Yes
Today"
Yes
And 90 back to my claim in the
"trip with me?"
Yes

Albert was that every dish in the Ok

had not been swept for seven weeks

looked the couple over and held their
places. Then the pair concluded to
wait for the next car.
At the next stopping place an elderly
gentleman appeared on the crossing
and stopped the car. The four ladies
saw him, and at once there was a flut-
tering of skirts and a general pushing
along, and the elderly gentleman was
speedily accommodated with a seat.
