Miss Warner Bethrothed to Chapin De fore She Ever Knew the Blacksmith.
 The wedding of Miss Julia Emma Warner and Howard Clinton Chapin promises to take place on schedule time at the home of the brides parents in Canaan Valley this evening, says fhe .Winsted Citizen. despite the fact that Nelson J. Brewer of Canaan is- sued a notice forbidding the wedding. The prospective bridegroom. who is n son of Sidney P Chapin of Hamp- den. Mass, arrived in Canaan Saturday evening. He was met at the East Canaan railroad station by Frank Iangdon. a cousin of Miss Warner. and driven to the home of his fiancea. This morning in comnany with MT Lanedon he drove to Canaan. where he procured marria@e license of Town Clerk Frederick Collin.
 CT never cared the snap of my little finger for Brewer.'' said Miss Warner to Citizen reporter. ssWe were never engaged and in fact no corresnondence ever passed between us. While a boarder at our home he took me to a party one evening. but that is the only time we were ever out together. I was engaged to Mir Chapin before I knew there was snch a man as Nelson Brewer. It would have been wrong for me to receive Mir Brewers atten- lions while bethrnthed to another"
 MT and Mrs Warner father and mother respectively of the bride-to-be. are considerably wrought up over the course pursued by Brewer Asked if he intended to put Brewer under bonds to lSeep the peace Mir Warner replied: sI have been thinking seriously of it. But if I should enter a complaint against the blacksmith I suppose that would not prevent him from carrying out any evil design he may have against us. My daughter and my wife. too. are opposed to my bringing action against Brewer. Neither of them thinks there is any harm in the man. Mir Chapin. who has just gone to Canaan, expected to consult law yer before returning"

 ssNo, mother." interrupted the pros pective bride. 'syou know we wouldn't allow him in the house"
 'But I would just like to say a few words to Brewer" retorted Mrs War ner. He is big blower, that is all He will wilt like flower before any. one his size''
 Miss Warner denies the report that she said she would like to stick a roll. ing pin through Brewer, and that she tilted him because he was afraid to spop the question:
