In order to eacape the determined couple drove their steed at break-neck pace. When within seven miles nf this city their horse gave out and could not be made to go further. The pair were determined and they walked to this city where they secured the license and a par son and the knot was tied. A few minutes after the license had beer issued Deputy Constable George Carr walked into the clerks office and inquired if the coupleyh had been there. He received an answer in the affirmative, and he then ex cIaimed, q am too late" Mir. Ber- ", the father of the bride, had dis patched Carr after his daughter, but she proved to be the winner, and now MT and Mrs. Burdess are com
 .ortably domiciled in pretty cot tage near Jefferson Springs.
