A wedding Of the December and May
variety took place in Grover township in
Johnson county. Mo-. the other day. Mr..
James Cunningham, aged 70 years. married
Lizzie Bell, of Valley City. aged %. The
occupation Of the groom, like that of
many farmers for the last two months, has
been that of hauling water. His widowed
daughter and her grown daughters had
eyed the old man with suspicion for some
time. and had feared that he would spring
a coup d'etat upon them. Wednesday, when
he started out with his team and water
barrels they noticed that he dropped the
water barrels on the oadside and started
dow the road towards his girls house.
They held a council of war and concluded
that he would come back up the same lane
with the girl and drive to Knobnoster. and
they were correct in the deduction. In the
meantime. they had taken down a rail
fence and built it across the road. When
the team came up to the fence they called
a halt and one of the granddaughters got
out. but she would not go. The old man
put his granddaughter out of the wagon,
turned his horses on the run. and outran
his daughter and her girls in a spirited
sprint for two miles, drove to Montserrat
and was married.
