Mr.. RHYMES ROMANCE
1t Is Poetic in Name But Rocky
in Fact.
IN STEALING A BRIDE
He Hears the Whistle of a
Bullet Through His Hat.

Guthrie, o. T. Aug CA chapter re-
sembling the romance Of the middle ages
is contributed by the Oklahoma fCty Ok
lahoman, which says:
Robert Rhyme. aged "a. appeared before
Judge Jones last Sunday and asked for a
license to wed Miss Amanda Rutherford,
alleged to be IS. which was granted by
the judge. But the parties thereto are
still travelling in single harness. and the
hcances for their immediate union for life
are exceedingly slim. as the course of true
love runs very, very rosgh in this in
stance.
The Rutherford family live seven miles
east Of the city. and Rhyme. who is en-
pIoyed on the Choctaw ballast works,
has been boarding there for some time
and has improved his opportunities to
make love to the daughter OF the house
Miss Amanda On last Sunday the loving
couple decided that life was not worth
living except they were to be married,
and accordingly left the home Of the
young lady with the object in view.
Rhyme left the young lady at the house
OF justice of the peace between her
home and this city, while he came to
town for Unnecessary license. The prec-
ious document was secured. but when he
returned to the home of the justice no
living bride awaited him. Her mother
and brother had become suspicious fol-
lowed them and had taken the wouId-be
bride bac kto her ancestral home. Rhyme
was not discouraged at this turn of af-
fairs, but waited until darkness enshroud
ed the earth, when he placed himself un-
der the window of his lady and whistled
softl vas he was wont TO do in the happy
days of their love-making She heard the
whistle, and, after making a hasty toi-
let, prepared to fly with the man OF her
choice. The descent. from the window
was made with safety, but disaster, in
the shape Of an angry brother, met them
at the gate and again the fond lovers
were separated. But stin Rhyme did not
despair, but attempted the same thing on
the following night, this time being met
by rifle in the hands of the angry
brother and received a bullet hole
through his hat. To prevent another es-
cape of the kind. Miss Rutherford was
sent to Tecumseh to visit her uncle and
cool her love.
Yesterday afternoon the mother and
brother of the young lady pppeared at
the county attorneys Office and asked
that warrant be issued for Rhyme on
the charge of perjury, claiming that the
gtlr was not yet IS years of age and
would not be until next March. But
Rhyme had already taken train for Te-
cumesh, much to the disappointment and
chagrin of the relatives of the girl. who
swear that the marriage shall never oc-
cur. And the end is not yet.

Guthrie, o. T., Aug. 2O.-The next In

of civilization win touch will undouDted-
ly be the Usage Nation. The Pawhuska
Journal says it is time. In an editorial
the Journal says:

compelled to remain in the same class,

so far thou shalt go. but no farther

has grown careless of his financial obl-

by the man with whom he has done bust

'The Usage reservation has been, on

tions demanding that the question Of fu-
sion or anti-fusion be submitted for de-
cision at the party primaries.
The Populist county central committee
met in Oklahoma City last week for the
purpose Of calling a convention to nom
mate candidates for county offices and
to consider the question Of fusion with
the Democrats. The policy of the party
was thoroughly discussed, and it was al
most the unanimous opinion Of the meet
ing that their party should cooperate
with the Democrats this fall. The ques-
tion Of the division Of offices was brought
up and discussed at length, and there
seemed TO be a strong sentiment in favor
of holding a joint convention similar to
the recent congressional convention, in
which the best men should win, regard
less of party. It was thought that this
was the best way to avoid contention in
the ranks Of reform this fall. Bryan
Democrat was suggested as an appro-
pirate name for the ticket, and if the
forces of reform cooperate in the COM
ing campaign the Populists will ask that
that name be adopted.
