"A Young Woman Who Applied to

STOCKTON, Jan. IA MESA ge
from Chief of Police Lees of San Fran
cisco was received here to-day just in
time to prevent County Clerk Grumsky
issuing a marriage license to Hend
Rahy to wed Mageep Maluff. The first
named is the would-b be bride. She ex-
planned that her prospective husband
did not come up because he could not
speak English. She gave her age as
10, and his as "a. and said that they
were natives of Asia, though they hail
ed from San Francisco at present.
Before the license was made out It
was learned that there was a MESA ge
in the police Office from San Francisco
to the effect that the girl was under
age. She declared she was of age, how
ever. saying she would be 20 next
month. The indications are that the
girls story is correct, and that q step
mother had the message sent merely
to stop the marriage.
