HORSE tanner MARRIED.
Prof. o. r. Gleason, tho Famous Horse
Trainer and Breaker WEEDS.


Prof. o. r. Gleason, who has been
In this city as horse tanner, has
given up the occupation of breaking
and training horses and has started ON
a two years trip around the world
with a young. rich and beautiful bride.
The wedding took place couple of
weeks ago at Weleetka, Indian Terri
tory, and the Winfield. Kansas, Cour-
Ter of June IS, gives three and a half
columns to writing up the ceremony
and the incidents that led up to it.
The train in which the professor and
his bridal party went to Weleetka was
caught in cloud-burst and 1t took
three days to make a journey which
less than one should have accomplish
ed. At one time they feared to cross
bridge, but Gleason ordered the con-
ductor to go on, and thew had hardly
got on the other side of the brige when
three miles of track behind them in
GLIDING the bridge, was swept away by
the surging waters.
The party arrived finally on Mon
Gay, June G, and the ceremony, which
was to have taken place the Saturday
before, was performed that evening.
Miss Florence Chester was the bride,
nnd she is described as being n very
beautiful young lady and also as being
Immensely wealthy. She was a former
resilient of Beardstown, III.
The wedding party remained at We
.eetka almost week, departing the
following Sunday, when the happy
paid departed for San Francisco as the
end of the first stage of their journey
around the world They will be gone
two years.
The ring presented by the groom
to his bride was an innovation among
wedding rings. it being heavy gold
band encircled with ten beautiful dia-
nonds which were arranged so as to
be equally spaced around the entire
ring.
