ROMANTIC
 MARRIAGE.
Cechlse County Couple He'd Under
 Difficulties.
iTombstone Prospector l

I From Los Angeles comes the tale of truly romantic marriage In which the principals are we'll known in Tombstone and Bisbee.
 For some time it was known that E. ". Land, the we'll known Attorney and Miss Alice Crablo one of Tombstone's falrest daughters, were deeply imbued with the idea that they could ride tan- dem style through life on the wheel of time. Their pneumatic desires how ever received puncture through par ential objections and being out of quick repair it looked dark for the silvian scorchers.
 Loves young dream was not to be dispelled, however, for the groom put on his thinking cap and found way out of the woods, He was armed with written consent of the mother of the bride-but the die was cast aud it was too late. Doubtless arguing that Gall is fair in love and war" the attentive wooer boarded train on one of the popular s. P. excursions to the coast and met his prospective bride and her mother at Los Angeles where they are visiting. He immediately set to work to carry out his plan and how he suc- cedded is shown from the following ' from the |. 4 Herald:
 Deputy County Clerk Kuis received i Q communication from Mrs. Nellie liar wood the other day inwhich the writer stated that she objected to the project cd marriage of her daughter; Alice ! Cra6Ie. to Edward ". Land of Bisbee, : Arizona. Sra further stated that her consent had once been gwen, out since : then just cause for withdrawing it had developed anu sue. therefore desIre0 that no license be issued
 The would be-groom soon after ap- peared and asked for the license, but Cupid" Kutz informed him of the in- struction received by the matrimonial department and refused the document prayed for.
 "Well, but you see have the moth CTS written consent all right t," insisted Land with considerable self assurance. as he flashed the instrument.
 "Yes sir" replied kutz, "Dut if you will look at the date you see it was written in June, and my instruction is dated August 15th."
 The young man looked at the later document for a moment and then 8 bright idea seized him.
 "That letter has no bearing on the matter. The code makes no provision for the recission of a consent. once 1t IS given, 1 have the consent and want my license" It was strong bluff but it didn't work.
 ''I don't know what the code says," replied Kutz, "but do know what com- mon sense teaches, and you'll not get the license"
 The young man walked sadly away, probably contemplating what hckel world this is."
 Later advices received in Tombstone today show however that the couple were married. As "love laughs at lock smiths" so the groom was not to be out done. He went to neighboring county, where no protest was filed, secured a license, presenting his certificate Of consent, and as ail appeared clear sail ing Co the dealer Of marriage liCens ses tn n c -t.s...uun1nU was gwen anu Lne two made one.
