Parents Are Willing, But the Law Says
Girl Must Wait.

Bay City, Mich, Nov 26-Claude o.
Parks. p years old, applied at the coun-
ty clerks office for a license to marry
Bertha Clark, whose age was given as
16 years. He was refused until he OBJ
tanned the permission of the girls faith
er. This he did, and the permit was
granted. Today a telephone message
was received at the clerks office from
a woman claiming to be an aunt of
the girl, saying that the latter was
only IA years old. Sheriff Kinney was
notified and investigated the matter,
first notifying the Rev. c. ]. Burns that
he must not officiate at the ceremony
as was contemplated.
When seen the parents admitted that
their daughter was not 16 years old,
but they sanctioned the marriage for
the reason that Parks was a good,
steady fellow. Notice was served upon
them that if the ceremony was per-
formed trouble would follow. The young
people are determined that they shall
not be thwarted in their intentions, and
declare that they will go elsewhere and
get married.

PRESIDENT TO BOX.
Invites PugiIist to Put On Gloves
With Him.

New York, Nov. 26.-President
Roosevelt has written to his old friend,
Professor Mike" Donovan, boxing in
structor at the New York Athletic
club. asking him to go to Washington
and try him OUT He has been SO
busy with the campaign during the
last four months that he has had little
or no time to indulge in his favorite
form of exercise. and he is eager to
get back into what he considers proper
physical condition.
Mr.. Roosevelt also wishes to have
his eldest son instructed in the manly
art, and he requested Professor Dono-
van to recommend a Washington
boxer to give him lessons.
Donovan was in his fighting days the
middleweight champion, and has
taught many members of the Four
Hundred the proper way to handle
their fists. When seen today Profess
sor Donovan was at first inclined to
refuse to discuss his correspondence
with the president. He regarded the
letters as strictly confidential, and was
astonished to hear that any one knew
about them.
II simply remarked that 1 had
heard from the president, who is my
personal friend" said the professor,
and was careful to see that no out
slider heard me. He is a good sports
man and a strong advocate of boxing
as heaIthful form of exercise, but a
man in his position doesn't want his
actions misconstrued.''
This will not be the first time that
Mr.. Roosevelt and Prof. Donovan have
boxed. When the former was COVER
nor of New York he invited Donovan
to Albany, and they had a lively set-to
in the executive mansion.
MI Roosevelt was much lighter and
quicked on his feet than he is now.
Today he weighs fully 200 pounds. He
is built more like wrestler, and is an
adept at the wrestling art.
Mr.. Roosevelt is an excellent in
fighter" said Prof. Donovan 'sHe
knows the game thoroughly, and sur
prised even me with his science He
IS quick on his feet, handles his fists
well, and does not know what fear is.
He lunges right in. and the man who
is opposite him has to do some pretty
lively foot work to keep away from
him."

Million Dollars.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 26.-Letson

veloped that Balliett wrongfu1ly re-
ceived nearly a quarter of a million

ing located near Baker City, Ore. He
was tried and convicted, carried his
case to the superior court of appeals

the second time and threw himself
upon the mercy of the court. Balliett
is said to have spent most of his money
in fighting the case.

POLICE COURT NOTES.

The police were called to 1914 East
Sixth street Friday afternoon by a
woman who wanted her husband and
another woman arrested. The officers
went in the patrol wagon. When they
arrived at the address they found 0.
Harris and his wife, Minnie Harris,
engaged in a war of words, while
Annie Hicks, an Indian woman, was
getting away as fast as possible. The
police took both Harris and his wife
in the wagon, and pursued the Indian
woman, catching her after chase of
several blocks. Mrs. Harris tried to
fight the Indian woman in the wagon,
and the officers had difficulty in keep
ing them apart. Harris and the Hicks
woman pleaded guilty to disorderly
conduct in police court this morning,
and were fined $40 each. Mrs Harris
was tried on the same charge, for no
apparent reason: Sergeant MeElroy
tried to tell the story, but was nipped
in the bud, and the injured wife re-
leased. She said that she might have
made a little disturbance, but she was
mighty mad"
N. L. Cushenberry, a horse trader,
who was arrested a few days ago for
keeping and maintaining a lame horse.
was chased out of town yesterday by
the police. He had gone out to try
to sell his harness, as he had no money
to feed his wife and three children
The police saw him with the harness
and started after him. Thinking that
he was to be ARE ted again on the
cruelty to animals charge, he left his
wagon and harness and escaped. The
police took charge of the outfit. Cush
enberry is evidently afraid to come
back to his family, as his wife re-
ported this morning that she was in a
destitute condition and her husband
had not returned.
An old colored man named Mitchell
reported to the police last night that
he had been robbed of a watch. AS
he was passing the corner of Tenth
and Buchanan just after dark he met
a young negro who grabbed his watch
and ran. The ring pulled out of the
watch and remained on the end of the
chain. Mitchell was not able to give
a very good description of the thief.

In Memoriam.

Chris topher Columbus Moberly, son
of Frederic and Lydia Moberly, was
born November II, 1887. Departed this
life, at his late residence, two miles
northeast of Buford, January q, 1904,
at the age of 81 years, 2 months and
10 days.
He was one of family of ten chill
dren. Four brothers and one sister
still surviving him. John F. Of Lind,
| Washington, and James, Chas. A.,
Cyrus F.. and Mrs. j. B. Pickett of
this place.
He was united in marriage with
Louisa ]. Woods, daughter of Will
liam and Mary Woods. On the II day
of January 1864. To this union were
born three sons: Oliver Noble, Her
bert Lee and Christopher Clyde, all
of whom survive him and are married.
oliver living in Cincinnati; Herbert
at the old home and Clyde at st. Louis.
He was soldier in the Civil War,
serving faithfully as private in Co.
B. so o. v. l., and received an honor
able discharge, and is also member
of the G. A. r. Post of this place.
About twenty years ago he united
with the M. E. Church, at Buford,
under the pastorate of Rev. Briggs,
remaining a faithful and consistent
member until his death.
On the third day of November, 1898,
the faithful wife and devoted mother
passed away, leaving him to bear the
burdens of life alone, which he did
like hero.
On November Is, 1908, the deceased
was stricken with paralysis from
which he never fully recovered, but
grew some better until December s,
when he received another stroke,
which caused his death. His suffer-
ing was very great, indeed, yet he
was cheerful and uncomplaining,
everything that loving hands could
do to relieve him was done. 1t might
be fittingly said that he was father
to the fatherless, always submitting
to the wants of others, but let us
quietly submit to Him who doeth all
things well and says "Thy Will be
done, for thou hast come to thy grave
in full age, like sheaf of wheat
cometh in full season."
The funeral services we're held
Thursday, January IS, at 2 o'clock p.
IN. at the M. <. Church at Buford,
conducted by Rev. ]. a. Davis, of

we're laid to rest in the Buford ceme-
terry.
Father has gone to the Home Land"
Just across on the other shore.
To meet again all the loved ones,
From them to part no more.
His journey was lonely and long;
Many burdens were his to bear;
But the cross Is laid down at last
A victor's crown to wear.
And when earthly tolls are DER
We will Join him there,
He is just beyond the portals,
Waiting on the golden stair.
