A very novel wedding took place in

yesterday afternoon, and there is quite
little romance connected with it. The
contracting parties were George II.

homa territory.
1t was just thirteen years ago yester-
day when Mr.. Cutler, who was then
railroad man, married his present wife
the first time. Things went along very
smoothly for few years and their
union was blessed with two bright
looking boys, who were named Martin
and Charles. Some time after, how
ever. things began to go backward for
the happy family. Cutler was unable
to get any work. They owned a little
farm Of 100 acres at Enid, Okla, Gu
which they lived. Finally he went IL
Montana to seek work and got a JOB
at railroading, and things began to look
brighter. While in Montana he met
gentleman from Boston by the name Of
A. H. Barber, who was going to the
Klondike and wanted some sturdy
western man to go with him. NJ.
Cutler, who is strong built man, six
feet in height accepted the offer. He
accordingly sent his wife $500 and told
her he was going.

klondike craze was first on, and they
succeeded in getting the last boat ont

was the last heard Of him by his wife
for LONG time. Finally the little .am-
lily on the farm in Oklahoma began 10

to the judge in their little town and
told him about it. He asked her If she
had heard from George in the last six
and ii he had sent her any
money. She told the judge that she
had not, and so he told her he would
grant her divorce, and that by get
ting this divorce she could save the
land. She didn't like to do it. but as a
last resort she finally consented.
All the time Mr.. Cutler was in Klon-
dixie and was striking some rich claims,
one OF them which netted him and his
partner from Boston $5S.0O0 last year
This spring he started for home ant
arrived at Seattle on June 29 last, on
the steamer Garonne. He Immediately
telegraphed his divorced wife to meet
him at Omaha, Neb., with the little
boys. which she did. They came IRON
there direct to st. Paul aud were mar
