GEORGE CsSpeck') Hurlburt. Topeka
Ball Player. Married Today to
Miss Hazel Mulvane.

The elooement has caused the
greatest surprise among the wide circle
of Miss Mulvane's friends in this city
which has been her home since her
birth. She is barely twenty years of
age. while the groom is said to be
fourteen years her senior and is
scarcely known in the city excepting as
q professional ball player. Hurlburt
gave his age on the marriage license
as %.
Miss Mulvane is of one Of the oldest
and best known families in Kansas and
was born in Topeka her father having
been a practitioner in the city for the
past % years. She has had all the ad-
vantages that fond and indulgent par
ents could bestow upon a girl, her car
riages and riding horses having been
the envy of many a less fortunate
daughter.
Her friends have noticed her strange
attachment for Hurlburt, who besides
being many years her senior is not the
style Of a man to appeal to the ro-
mantle loving disposition Of a society
girl and the affair of this afternoon
comes as ali the great surprise.
Just before noon today Miss Null
vane and her mother drove down town
to do some shopping and Hazel asked
and was granted permission to take
Miss Jeanette Woleott, one of her
North Topeka girl friends. home. The
carriage was returned to the store
where her mother was trading and a
few moments later a MESSENGER ar
rived with a note from Hazel inform
ing her mother that she had married
Hurlburt and that the two were on.
their way to kansas City.
