SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. March 2, 1900.
Mr. Truman r. Brown leaves this city
for Washington tomorrow night, and will
go directly to Georgetown to get the girl
he secretly married last August, and who
is now studying at the convent overlooking
the Potomac. Mrs. Brown was Miss Mar
garet E. Daily of this city, the daughter of
John j. DAILY, the wealthy mining magnate
here. and one of the most prominent men
in the state.
Mr.. Brown is a bright and popular young
fellow in the employ of the Rio Grande
Western railroad. He has been paying
| marked attention to Miss Daily for over
two years, but the fact of the secret we'd
ding has been guarded so closely that no
one knew OF it until few days ago
The following paragraph appears on the
records in the court house of the little vii
lhge OF Pennington, just a few miles north
Married.-In the Office Of the county clerk
Pennington, Davis county, on August %
last. by Nerhi Palmer. clerk and justice.
Margaret L. DAILY, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John J. DAILY of this city. and Tru-
man Roy Brown. also of Salt Lake.
And now the story, which reads like
modern novel:
About two years ago two young men
among Miss Days most devoted cavaliers
We're Edward Maddox and Roy Brown. Her
intimate friends whispered that young
Maddox would soon be open to congratula-
items, but as the fates decreed he went
east. Brown continued to pay his addresses
to the young lady, but it seemingly
without the mothers and with the fathers
sanction. AT all events, it was decided to
send Miss Margaret east to school, and
preparations made for the trip.
Meanwhile Mr.. Brown as devoted as
ever, and Dame Rumor was persistent in
her statement that the two were engaged.
he a n tf,s.k
smiths, and one day last summer, August
%, Mr.. Brown and Miss Daily bearded a
suburb train and alighted at Pennington.
They walked two short blocks to the liltle
court house and were married. From the
modern Gretna Green the happy bride and
groom probably walked over to the lagoon
may have passed the halcyon first hours of
the honeymoon, returning to Salt Lake in
time for dinner.
There never was a suspicion of the state
took her daughter to the staid and old-time
temple of learning the heights of
Georgetown. and there the bride of a few
weeks was left for the autumn days. She
returned at Christmas time and her father
took her back early in the present year.
But during those autumn days young
Maddox had appeared in Washington, Sc
curing some minor appointment in the halls
of Congress-though now 1t is said he is
working in one of the hotels-aHd was not
slow in renewing his suit for the young
helfeSs. he proposed, so 1t is said, and the
mother gave her consent. provided he
should wait until her daughters school days
were over. The daughter. however, strong
ly objected-in fact, could not see it that
way at all.
Roy Brown all this time was devoting
himself to his work, was quiet and con-
slant and gave up society entirely.
This state of affairs went on till Monday
last. when the brides family received the
first intimation of their daughters mar
riage. How the news came to them and by
whom is not known. Neither Is 1t known
what the parents said, but the scene can
easily be imagined.
The sequel of the whole story Will occur
in Washington next week when the groom
arrives for his bride. warm welcome
awaits them on their return to this city,
where they have innumera BILE friends and
the brides family Will probably be ready
and willing to forgive the young people in
their forgetfulness in failing to secure the
parental sanction.
Inquiry at Georgetown Convent this
morning revealed the fact that Miss DAILY
was pupil there until last week, when her
mother came and took her home with her.
The sisters In charge have no information
about the marriage.
