MARRIAGE IS
 WIPED IN BUD
COUPLE STARTING HERE FROM
 PHOENIX IS ARRESTED.

Wanted Marieopa County Probate
 Judge to Marry Them, but Father of
 Albert Peterson Stopped lt by Wire.
 Bisbee is jumping into popularity as a mecca for couples that cannot gain consent to marriage in other parts of the territory.
 The latest case happened in Phoenix last Tuesday, and but for the vigilance of officers, Albert Peterson and Miss Nellie Pearl would now be man and wife in this city
 The young people hail from McCabe, Yayapai county, and are both said to be under age. On this score the father of young Peterson prevented the probate judge of Maricopa county from issuing marriage license Peterson and his intended bride eloped in the dark of night from Mo Cabe to Phoenix. When they catered the office of the probate judge, tele- gram was shown them from Peterson s father in which he said that his son ] was under age, and should not be granted a license.
 Not to be baffied, the couple went to the Maricopa 6 Phoenix depot, where they purchased through tickets 10 Bis ! bee. Just as they were leaving the depot, and about to board the train ] Sheriff Cook, of Maricopa county stepped up to them. and served war rants
 Both of the young people will be ta ken back to McCabe, where they will be kept apart until Peterson and his ilanguishing bride become of age.
 When he was turned down at the probate judges office, young Peterson said that if the Phoenix people did not want to marry them, they would leave for Bisbee.
 There are other towns in the terri tory where we can be married" said [ he. "and Bisbee is one of them. w will go right down there, and have tho justice of the peace to marry us.
 'You need not think that Phoenix !! the only place where people can gel married. We did not want to come to Phoenix in the first place. We vii go to Bisbee now.
 Peterson and Miss Pearl did no reach Bisbee, for the officer at tht train was too quick for them. Hat he been a few minutes later the traiI would have started. and there mighf have been marriage in this city yes terday.

H0LDREN DIES
 IN CITY JAIL
WAS TAKEN THERE TO SOBER UP.
 BUT DEATH RELEASED HIM.

Deceased Has Been Employed in a Ss-
 loon Here, and Was Miner by occu-
 pation-cot Morphine for o'NeiiI.
 Thomas Holdren died yesterday af. ternoon in the city jail, where he had been taken short time previous on the supposition that he was drunk It has since developed that he was suffer ing from disease.
 Holdren fell in a fit on Brewery gulch during the forenoon, and it was thought that he was too drunk to be at large. Soon after being taken to the jail physician was summoned.
 Constables Casad and Doyle went up to the jail yesterday afternoon to see Holdren, and as they entered the place he gave dying gasp. An effort was made to summon a physician, but be- fore one arrived it was too late for him to be of any assistance.
 The death of Holdren was told Jus tice Mcdonald, and he at once sum moned jury, which will meet this morning at Il o'clock to decide upon a verdict. Those on the jury are George Henninger, Charles Trah1, J. c. Golden, R. H. Hutchinson and c. B. Estes.
 The jury viewed the body as 1t lay stretched OF the bare floor just inside the door of the pail Seated near by was Mexican serving time for being drunk and disorderly. The body was ! still warm when the jury arrived. l Robert Hennessy, of the Information al undertaking parlors, was notified, and took the body to the morgue. An examination of the remains disclosed no marks of violence, but disclosed the fact that the deceased was suffering from a loathsome disease before his death.
 It is expected that the inquest this morning will develop. the fact that Holdren came to his death from the excessive use of liquor, combined with an affiiction from which he could never hope to recover
 The deceased was an Englishman by birth. and was about 45 years of age. He was a miner, but since coming to this city has ben employed at the St. Louis beer hall in a meniaI vapacity.
 Holdren gained some notoriety sew eral weeks ago by going after the bot. tie of morphine with was taken by Daniel o'NeiIl, who committed suicide in the St. Louis beer hall. Little is known here about his past fife.

SEATTLE, Oct. 3l,-Jay and Start,
the two sons of Mayor Humes of this
city. are today languishing in the city
jail, the first for forgery and the lat
ter for landing with fist on the cram
Jun of the majesty of the law in the
shape of police sergeant.
It is alleged that Jay Humes forged

and attempted to pass them. He was
arrested. Start Humes wanted to put
up bail money for his brother, but the
willy sergeant refused his offer. Then
Start became exceeding wroth at the
officer of the law, let go with his right
in true Seattle spirit, bowled him over
and did divers other ungrateful things
to him. Then it was the turn of the
bold sergeant to become riled up, and
calling for assistance, he did few
stunts on the anatomy of Start and
started him for the cell in company
with his brother. ..'--.;
When the mayor was notified that
his two sons were languishing in the
depths of the Seattle cage he also be-
