An agreement to this effect was reached
in the First District Police Court Monday at
noon. McKenna was charged with disturb
ing the peace Of Miss Gass. On Sunday she
announced to her father that she would not
prosecute McKenna because she had decfd-
ed to marry him. At first Gass offered
strenuous objections. but when he found
his daughter obdurate he relented. In Po-
Ice Court Monday he related the circum-
stances to Judge Sidener, who willingly con-
sented that the case be dropped.
You are sure you can get along with
your wife and your father-in-law, are you?'
asked. Judge S!dener.
McKenna nodded assent. and left the
courtroom arm-in-arm with his p%rospec-

In the afternoon McKenna and Miss Gass
went TO the City Hall and obtained a mar
rage license. Mckenna and Gass were both
at the latter's home Monday night and both
said that the ceremony had been performed.
They declined to discuss the matter any
further.

by the collar and the seat of his trousers
and tossed him up in the air. The fellow
hit the ground nearly twelve feet from his
starting point.
This is but one of a great number OF en-
counters which lngraham has had iii in
proving the lower classes with whom he
works. Last week a young woman OF the
army was insGlted in a saloon while at
tempting to sell papers. Captain lnSraham
took the bundle of papers and went direct
to the saloon. Inside he was accosted by a

Ingraham took off his hat, then proposed
quietly that the fellow try it. on condition
that il he lost he must buy all the papers.
The bully bought the papers.
Ten years ago, at the age OF u. lngraham

trained under him In New York for eight

Lizzie White. not yet 16 years old. daugh-
ter of Mrs. Joseph White of No. 1909 Walnut
avenue, East st. Louis. and a pupil of the
Irving School. departed from her home Sun
day morning, telling her mother that she
was going to the home of a friend IN Ninth
street. The girl did not so to the place she
said. but, instead. on Monday married
Ernest A. De Bell. a soldier. with whom
but who has never called at her home or
been seen by her relatives.
Mrs. Whites first intimation that her
daughter was married was when she re-
ceived a telegram Sunday evening.

visor John Wheeler in East st. Louis and
inquired If the marriage license had been
Issued to the couple by him. He replied in
the negative. and suggested that the tele-
gram had been sent as a ruse. and was to
give them time to get married on Monday.
Miss White then telephoned to various
county seats in the hope of stopping the
marriage. il possible. She was unsuccess-
ful. learning that the couple had been mar
ried in Clayton Monday afternoon by Coun-
ty Judge ]. b. Brouster. De Bell gave his
address as No. 1910 Market street.
But little is known of De Bell at the
White home. Through his correspondence
with the girl. it Is known that in 1893 he
was q Second Lieutenant in the Fifth
United States Cavalry, stationed at Fort
Reno, l. T.
According to Mrs. White her daughter
first met De Bell at the Relay Depot in 1895.
He was a member of Company b, Third
Illinois Infantry, which was passing
through East st. Louis on the way to
Chickamauga. Lizzie and several other
East ST. Louis girls talked with the soldier
boys and gave them their addresses, receiv-
ing in return buttons and cartridges. De Bell
and Lizzie met. and it is supposed that it
was a case of love at first sight.
Mrs. White said that she never objected
to her daughter corresponding with the SOL
der, as she considered the girl only a mere
hid and thought that the correspondence
would be of amusement and benefit to her,
especially in assisting her in her school
studies. De Bell was mustered out in Spring
field. and the next heard from him. Mrs.
White says, was that he had joined Com
pany c, Thirtieth United States Volunteers.
and that he was on his way to the Philip
pines. The first intimation that Mrs. White
had that he was not in the Philippines was
Mrs. White Is much worried over her
daughter. She declared last night that she
