In the U. S. Clerks Office.

Around the clerks Office today
everything seemed to be quiet and but
little business was going on.
Deputy Clerk Mccoy was sitting at
his desk looking over his correspond
ence, and the reporter was allowed to
look at a few of his papers.
We noticed two marriage licenses
returned showing that the ceremony
had been performed by a notary pub
nc. The whole thing will have to be
done over again. the clerk said.
He was just in receipt OF letter
from an old man living some distance
east of here, winch made one feel sad
TO read. The old man had daughter
the idol of his heart-and was too
young to marry. A festive suitor had
paid considerable attention to her, and
the old man had several times forbid
his attentions to the girl as she was
too young to receive attention. The
suitor was persistent, however, and by
some means had secured the license,
stole the old mans daughter and mar
RED her The old man admitted he was
in hot pursuit of them at the time.
but failed TO find them, but found the
preacher who had performed the cere-
mony. The old man was hurt, but
thought it unwise to make her life
worse by punisLlng him now.
Three marriage licenses were issued
today by the clerk.
