Economically Married at st. Louis
While Visiting Relatives.
From the St. Louis Daily Star.
Nick Krump of Wahpeton,
y. d., who came to this city
two months ago to buy cattle,
met his "fate" i'll the person of
pretty Theresa Pilfusack of
3s46 Oregon avenue, a waitress
at Schrap's restaurant on Olive
street. ~
Without notice to friends or
relatives the couple hurried to
the Recorders office in the
court house,secured marriage
license and returned home to
announce that they had been
married.
The announcement, however,
was m erely a subterfuge to re-
concile members of the family
to the coming wedding, which
is scheduled to take place at
1890 a. m. Saturday in St.
Agatha's church, this city.
Father Schray is to perform
the ceremony, while Kasper
Krutnp,a brother of the groom
to-be,who lives in this city,shas
been prevailed upon to act as
best man, while Miss katie
Krump. a niece of the groom,is
to be bridesmaid.
1t is proposed to have the
wedding as quiet as possible,
and the couple will leave for
the groom's home in North
Dakota on Monday.
The wedding will be the cul-
mination of a romance begun
two months ago in the Olive
street restaurant, where the
couple first met.
Mr. Krump, who is wealthy,
came to St. Louis to see his
brothers and incidentally also
to buy cattle. In company of
friends who strolled into
Schrap's one day, shortly after
his arrivaland became enamor-
ed of the pretty waiting maid.
He asked for pc rmission to call
at the house, which was grant
ed and an intimate friendship
sprung up.
From all intended stay in st.
Louis for week, or two at the
most, the visit dragged, on for
two months, during which time
Mr.. krump paid constant at
tention to Miss Pilfusack.
Thursday afternoon Krump
called at the Pilfusack home,
as usual,and went out with the
young lady for a walk, osten-
sibly. Instead they boarded a
California avenue car and went
to the court house, where they
secured license.
Miss Pilfusack was seen at
her home. She told of the ro-
nance. II feel certain that I
shall lead a happy life. We
are to be married tomorrow
and on Monday will leave for
Wahpeton, where we will make
our home.
"Nick (meaning Krump) is
in very fair circumstances and
in position to give me a good
home. 1t was a case of love at
first sight. I'll not say whether
his financial condition had any
thing to do with influencing
my choice, but we are happy.
ut was the funniest thing
how we met at the restaurant,
though. Later he called at the
house and was introduced to
my mother, and somehow just
seemed to fit into the family.
AS far as his relatives 60,
am sure they are quite reconcil-
ed now,though they were taken
some what by surprise. Even
my own mother did not know
when we went for the license"
Miss Pilfusack was born in
Vienna 20 years ago and came
to this country when little
girl. She is of the blonde type
and decidedly pretty.
The happy young couple are
at the Commercial hotel. Mr..
Krump.s host of friends tender
congratulations.
There is to be a new Catholic
church built at Mantadore this
season.
Jno. Kotchevar in the city
yesterday paid The Times a
pleasant call. Mr.. -Kotchevar is
in business in Mantadore and
doing we'll. Says the N. p.
