MARRY WHILE DRIVING
Lively Nuptials on a South Dakota
Prairie


The people of Camp Crook, S. D., were
recently treated to the unusual spectacle
of minister standing up in a sleigh with
bride whom he was marrying to mar
who was furiously driving the outfit,
while in the rear came pursuing party.
The minister was Rev. Mcmillan G. Ken
DALI the bride was Nettie Ingram and the
bridegroom was Marshall CASTOR.
CASTOR was employed as "cattle
puncher" on "Old Man" Ingram ranch
near the northern border of Burdick
county. He wooed and won his employ
er's daughter. Ingram promptly dis
charged him and ordered him off the
premises. He arranged with Pastor
Kendall of the neghboring Camp Crook
Methodist church to marry him to Miss
Ingram. He drove to her fathers house
in the dead of night, assisted his sweet
heart from the window ard was just hur-
rying away when a wakeful cowboy
gave the alarm.
No ore doubted Migrants sincerity
when he swore to lynch his prospective
son-in-law. When the clippers reached
Camp Crook there. was no time for we'd
ding. The yells of the pursuers and the
occasional crack of a six-shooter could
be plainly heard. The party was strong
enough to have overpowered any resist
ance which the citizens of Camp Crook
might have offered had they been will
ing to assist the fleeing couple.
So the clergyman was hustled into the
sleigh. The groom grasped the reins with
his left hand, extending his right to the
bride and the ceremony was performed
as the outfit scurried across the prairie.
Even then their pursuers might have
overtaken them and executed their
threats had not "Old Man" Migrants
horse put his foot in a prairie dogs hole
and thrown his rider. That compelled a
halt, during which the runaways got
hopelessly out Of reach.-Chicago Chron-

IN THE CABINET
Nothing Said About Calling Out More
Troops


WASHINGTON, MAY 1.-THE Cabinet
session today lasted until about l2:30
o'clock. Secretary Long came late ana left
half an hour before the others. Secretary
Day also left early. The members as they
left the White House, were unusually re-
ticent even as to minor matters and ex-
planned that the Administration was greatly
hampered in its work by indiscreet pub
lication of news as to naval and army
movements.
Secretary Long said that although the
matter Of rigid censorship on the press
was not discussed at today's Cabinet meet
ing, the action Of certain newspapers in
publishing NOV ements and campaigning
plans was causing great embarrassment.
The published interview with General
Merritt at New York In the course Of which
he is reported as having expressed his
unwillingness to take the command at the
Philippine Islands without the government
gave him more than $1,000 volunteer troops,
and complaining that such command was
inadequate to his rank. is likely to be the
subject Of an inquiry by the government
as to whether he was correctly reported.
A member Of the Cabinet said after the
meeting that he had no doubt that the
matter would receive official attention.
Nothing was said at the meeting as to
the reported purpose Of the President to
issue call for additional volunteers nor
was the subject Of sending more troops to
the Philippines than the 5000 already de-
cided upon by the President. The govern
ment Is now In constant communication

STIRS UP THE COURAGE OF HIS

Possibly His Faith in Divine Aid
Leads Him to Avoid Fighting
Battle

MADRID, May 17.-At the moment Of his
departure from the Cape Verde islands. Ad-
miral Cervera lin command of the Spanish
squadron Of the West Indian waters)
made the following address to the crews
of his ships:
"After three years Of struggle in Cuba,
we are nearing the end of the trouble,
which certainly would have been ended
three months ago but for Americas aid.
THAT nation, believing she had created
by underhanded means thousand embar-
easements, but that nevertheless she would
not be able to attain the object of her am
bition, at last threw of the mask, and
when the insurrection was on it's last legs
commenced against us the most unjust war
in the history of the world.
Spain" the admiral continued, did not
wish for war. Her conduct proved this
She conceded everything a self-respecting
nation could concede but the Americans
whose ambition is Unsuitable always asked
for something more and even what be-
longed to us-that land discovered by
Spaniards led by Columbus.
Forward, then, to the war, since we are
forced thereto by the Americans blind
ambition. But let us enter the combat as
the Spaniards of old, strong in their rights
and trustful In God, who will never aban-
don just cause and who will aid our eff
forts.
II need not enjoin discipline upon You,
for during the six months you have been
under my command have only had cause
for congratulation. Nor need call on you
to do your duty conscientiously. especially
during the watches, which will often be
most trying. Still less need I urge you to
display courage. You are Spaniards and
that is sufficient in war.
''Then, when lead you to battle, have
confidence in your chiefs, and the nation,
whose eye is upon you, will see that Spain
today Is the Spain of all time.

Will Dodge About
NEW YORK, May ia dispatch to the
World from Madrid says:
Admiral Cervera's feet will dodge about
in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico,
1t Is expected by naval men here. Cervera
will avoid a fight in case he finds himself
cvermatched. His chief aim is to draw the
American squadrons away from the Cuban
coast SO that he may make dash into
Havana.
The principal object of such dash, 1t is
asserted, would be to allow the cruiser
Vizcaya to go into dry dock to clean her
bottom and thus improve her speed, for in
her present condition she cripples the
movements of the remainder of the fleet.
Great expectations are founded on night
raids by the Spanish torpedo boat Destroy
ers upon the American blockading sduad-
ron.
Later, when the rainy season sets in, fast
blockade runners, both Spanish and for
eign, will undertake to carry ammunition
and provisions to Cuba and Porto Rico.

protest vigorously against the seizure of
