caught by Miss Frances Williams. who
is therefore sure to be married within

led to the station by a party Of enthn.
static friends who saw them off amid
showers Of rice etc.
The contracting parties to this beau
tiful marriage are too well known in
Laramie to need laudation at the hands
Of a newspaper. They are long resi-
dents of the city, and although neither
a born here, they were mere child
rem when they came and have become
a part of the city. Mr.. Thomas was
reared at Cheyenne. He was born in
the United States when he was but
little more than a babe, and settled in |
Laramie county. He graduated from
the Cheyenne high school and came to
Laramie when John Hay was division
superintendent here, where he has re-
manned since, filling at this time the
position Of chief clerk to Assistant
Superintendent Whitney. He is so
oonversant with the run of the business
OF the Office that Mr.. Whitney is perl
mitted to leave town for days at a time
following his calling. leaving his clerk
to handle the affairs. knowing that he
will do all things for the interests of
the company that he himself could pre-
form.
Miss Davis came with her parents
Mr.. and Mrs. John Davis from Illinois
when she was a small girl and has
spent the most of her young life here.
She is well beloved by a large circle Of
friends. her winsome disposition and
sunny smile being death to ennui in
M social gathering of which she is a
member. She is endowed with a charm
of personality as marked as her wealth
Of sunshine. and no prettier bride has
stood before the altar and pledged her
life in Laramie in recent years. Will
Thomas can we'll be congratulated up
on securing her for a wife. while she
in turn is well mated. Both are we'll
liked, and their friends extend from
the limits OF the city to embrace all
who know them.
