told his bride that their marriage was an
accident; that when he left home that day
he did not know whether to go TO see an
other girl or to go to marry the girl whom
he did marry. The question could not be
decided in his own mind, SO he determined
to let his horse settle the question. Which
ever way the horse he was driving should
turn would decide his fate. The horse
turned toward the home of the plaintiff and
they were married. They lived together less
than four months.
