Backed Up on Catfish"
John Pearson would have taken to
himself a wife Monday evening. but
just before the ceremony was schedul-
ed to take place the woman of his
choice decided things had gone far
enough and that she did not care TO
figure as a principal in any wedding.
She whom John would have taken as
| his bride is Mrs. Christina Anthony,
| who conducts the saloon at the cor
ner of Seventh street and Seventeenth
Eavenue, and who enjoys much Belgian
| trade. The license was issued from the
county clerks office Monday afternoon,
and justice of the peace accompanied
the groom to the home of the bride-to-
| be TO perform the ceremony III the
evening. Now John is out the price of
one marriage license, and justice is
out the marriage fee which induced
! him to make the trip in the storm to

in making arrangements for the future.
