DIDN'T KNOW HER NAME
John McCaughen In Unique Position when
lie Wanted to Marry EIvira Beach

John McCaughen In Unique Position when
lie Wanted to Marry Elvira Beach.
At FIVE O'Clock Tuesday afternoon at
the Office of Justice McCarron, the
Justice officiating, occurred the mar
rage of John McCaughen and Mrs,
Elvira c. Beach of Chicago. The COM
bined ages of the bride and groom as
stated to the Justice was 129 years and
at that the Justice as well as the other
officials are willing to take oath that
the groom took tea years off his age.
The couple came up from Chicago
yesterday afternoon and it is certain
that they did not have the consent of
their parents, and it is more than pos
sible that the wedding will be a great
surprise to their children and grand
children. McCaughen left his wife
to be at the station while he went to
the county Judge to get an order for
the marriage. AT the court house he
discovered that he did not know the
name of the woman he was to marry.
He explained to the court that he had
been counting her for some time but it
seems that the name was the last thing
he thought of. The woman was pro-
duced IN court after a short time and
managed to inform the court on the
important subject. The order was is
sued and the Justice did the rest.
Mr.. and Mrs. McCaughen are a VEN
cradle looking couple. Both of them
are old and bent and it is evident that
they are on the shady side of life.
They are spending their honeymoon
at the Hotel Kenosha and will return
to Chicago in a month to give their
friends great surprise.
