CARRIED OFF HIS BRIDE.
William Z. Cant, Of Thompson, Flop
ed to Mexico With Centralia Girl
Both Are Prominent Young
People.


William e. Cant, of Thompson, and
Miss Mary ]. Owen, Of Centralia, elop-
ed to this city Wednesday morning
and were married at the Ringo at 5:4f
O'Clock a. m. by Rev. A. w. Kokendof-
fer.
There was no objection to the mar
rage by the parents, 1t is understood,
and the runaway was merely in the
spirit of a lark.
The couple had made all arrange
ments for their departure from Cen
tralia on the Wabash train leaving
that place at 1918 and shortly before
that time the groom-to-be tapped bis
pre-arranged signal on the window
pane Of his loves bed room. She was
almost ready, but must add a few
more touches, and so they missed their
train and we're compelled to wait IN
til the 2:40 train, which reaches here
at 1906. The marriage license wa Sc
ured soon after from Deputy Recorder
James Minor, who was taken from his
bed to draw up the paper, and Rev.
A. w. Kokendoffer was summoned
from his home on South Clark avenue,
making the couple man and wife at
5:45 in the paflors of the Ringo.
The groom is a prominent young
stock man, being associated in buying
and selling with his brother, Henry
Cant, at Thompson. He is a SOL Of
Green Cant and is a young mar OF
energy and ability.
The bride, who is a beautiful girl,
is the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. John
w. Owen, OF Centralia, and is a young
woman Of excellent attachments. Her
father is the Centralia manager for
the Lacrosse Lumber Company and
her mother is a sister OF the late Mrs.
j. II. Luckie, OF this city.
BY telephone Wednesday morning
the LEDGER learned that Mr.. and
Mrs. Owen had offered no objection to
Mr.. Cant and it IL supposed that the
.elopement was planned for the dash Of
fun there was in it.
The bride left a note on the dining
room table for her mother, saying that
she would be Mrs Cant when the mis-
siye was read.
Mr.. and Mrs Cant left on a noon
train for their home ia Thompson.
