A BRIDE IN JAIL.
Odd Experience of a Newly Mar
ried Couple at Fort Scott.

Fort Scott, Kas-, Dec. 12.-The Repub-
lican says:
Tuesday evening gentleman and
lady appeared at the city Jail and APP
piled for a nights lodging. This was
the first time in Officer Dearth's service
as turnkey that a woman ever asked
to be locked up for the night. Mr..
Dearth hesitated somewhat before he
granted the request, but full explana-
ton from the applicants touched the
officers heart and they were given
bed. Their story is an interesting one.
The mans name was George Layne
and the woman was his bride. They
were married in Salt Lake City on the
10th of November last and in a day or
two Mr.. Layne lost his job. There were
no prospects for work during the win
ter months and the newly married
couple started for the south where they
had friends. 1t was difficult matter
for the woman to travel on the bum in
skirts SO she donned a suit of boy s
clothing, which she wore from Salt Lake
to Kansas City. At the latter place
Chief of Police Hayes kept them over
night and Tuesday morning compelled
the woman to put on a dress and leave
town with her husband.
They came to Fort Scott in box car.
arriving here Tuesday evening just before
dark They carried their marriage certi-
ficate with them The bride is 10 years of
age and is a handsome young woman.
Both have the appearance of having been
well raised but show the hard knocks re-
ceived since their marriage Officer
Dearth gave them their breakfast yester-
day morning and when the couple left the
lady put on the boys suit. She made a
very pretty boy. Over this suit she put
on three waists and five skirts and the
twain took a freight train during the fore
noon for Springfield They are compelled
to make the entire trip in box cars or
any old way except in a chair car because
of a lack of change.

During the storms throughout the
State Wednesday much damage was
done to property, and we have so far
learned Of two deaths by lightning
one at Charlotte and one at Rocking
ham. The man killed in the court
house at Rockingham is said to be
the third one killed in the same build
ing and the same room by lightning,
and it is reported that the Charlotte
man was cursing a knot in a rope
when he was struck dead. 1t is al
most enough to induce one to believe
that t ere are special visitations of
this kind. At least that Rockingham
court house is dangerous place, and
it ism t safe to swear during a storm
and it isn't necessary at any time.

truth at any stage of the game; l have no
entangling alliances and am not depend

turbance to any one? They seem to have

how to conduct themselves. | want also
to impress on the Mayor that am not adj

your town any better or purge it of any
wrongs that exist. A more gentlemanly

The plan of developing the
