The wedding was an extremely quiet
one, only few near relatives of the
bride having been in attendance. The
wedding was as surprising as it was
quiet as no one in town except the
patrons of the hotel and the officiating
minister had any knowledge of it until
the following morning.
Mr.. Adams for some time was oper.

valued employe of the Southern Pacific
and has the promise of a station soon,
he is decidedly popular among his ac-
quaintances. The bride is a most
charming young lady and a pianist
possessed of exceptional ability.
They left on the midnight train

\ FATAL OVERSIGHT.
The Persons Who Bound Piers0n to
the Track Knew Nothing OF the
Special Train.
(Ry the Associated Press.)

Mount Vernon. o., Nov. 11.-COro-
ner Scarborough rendered his verdict
in the Pierson case today. He finds
that the testimony established that
Pierson had been bound or tied at
the ankles, and that he was tied fast
to the railroad track, or railroad ties
and while so tied, was run over by
an engine and in that manner met his
death.
The coroner also states in his YER
diet that under the peculiar circum-
stances Of the case il is impossible
for him to determine who the guilty
parties were that tied the young man.
Pierson was Il student of Kenyon
College and was being initiated into
the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity
on the night of his death.
Some of the initiators allege that he
had been ordered TO go out and stand
on the railroad track II bridge until
sent for. There were suspicious cir
cumstanceS about the story however,
and the coroner and prosecuting at
torney started an investigation. They
declared that they discovered evil
dence that the lad had been chloro-
formed and tied to the track, although
all the relics of the tragedy had been
carefully removed. 1t was admitted,
however, that candidates for some OF
the fraternities We're at times bound
to the tracks to await initiation.
Pierson. son of a wealthy Cincinna-
ii lumber dealer, was killed by spe-
ciaI train that passed before The reg
ular train. 1t is believed by the lutG-
critics that the persons who bound The
lad TO the track did not figure on this
train and that it was fatal over
sight.
No arrests have as yet been ordered
SO far as can be learned.
