Marriage Taking Place One Day
Late and All Ends
Well .

Special to The Herald.
WHITTIER, July 2.-That Miss
Mary Perrine of this city was unable to
write Mrs" before her name today is
due to the fact that the prospective
bridegroom, ]. B. Mann, slept on,
oblivious of the approach of his nup-
tial day.
Sunday was the date set for the af-
fair, which was to take place at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. L. D. Lee of this city. The min
lister had been engaged and invitations
Issued and all was going along merrily
at this end of the line.
The prospective benedict is employed
nights in Los Angeles. Coming home
early Saturday morning he thought to
snatch few moments of much needed
rest before attending to such minor de-
tails as the procuring of a marriage
license, so he retired with the request
that he be called after brief nap.
Some One 6unders
Some one blundered and the call was
not given. Mann slumbered calmly on
and it was only when the shadows be-
gan to deepen in the late afternoon that
he awakened to the enormity of the
situation.
With the court house doors closed
several hours before, the case seemed
hopeless.
There was an exciting trolley ride Ia
Whittier, heated discussion with his
fiance. The result was that notes were
sent to the guests, bidding them attend
the wedding at 1880 Monday evening
instead of Sunday
Mann was among the first to be seen
in the vicinity of the court house this
morning,
