YOUNG e. 0PERS GET
MARRIED AZ LAST

SEATTLE, July 20.-Langhine
gleefully at the way in which they
had eluded parents and officers
who endeavored to prevent their
marriage, Carl Currier and Alice
Sapp, now Mrs. Carl Currier, e.
turned to Seattle this morning
from Portland, where they were
married yesterday evening.
The couple had arranged with
the train crew on the interurban
train for their escape from Detec-
tive Kennedy Tuesday night, and
were allowed to slip out the back
door of the coach at Georgetown.
From here they walked into town
and climbed over the fence at the
south end Of the union depot yards
in order to avoid recapture.
At the depot a party of strange
women were made acquainted with
the romantic story and they took
the girl in charge, allowing her to
pass as one of their party.
While the young married couple
were at the residence Of their
friends this morning the father of
the former Miss Sapp was anxious
ly waiting at the police station for
news of the clippers. Up to a late
hour he had not been notified of
the arrival of his daughter and new
son-in-law.

Mrs. Bowie and her son were

In the court room sat Priscilla

APOSTLES ARE
PROSECUTED.

There was trouble out at the
Apostolic mission camp meeting at
the east end Of Alder st. bridge last
night. The mission people believe
in the gift of tongues" and are
holding their services daily and
nightly and audibly. Spectators
have been interfering with the
meeting and on complaint J. B.
Moody, 1 of the believers, was
made special officer to preserve
order. Last night, with A. w. Nc
Donald, he arrested and brought to
the station 2 disturbers. They
were released shortly and went
back to the tent, where more dis
turbances followed. Moody arrest
ed more, but was handled roughly
by the crowd and narrowly escaped
being thrown into the river.
A mounted policeman arrived on
the scene at 1890 and investigated
2 men who had been cursing in
the tent. But the policeman was
not forcibly impressed by the mis-
sion's demand for protection and,
according to the mission people,
refused to do anything. He init
mated that he might close the
camp meeting instead.
Today the mission people appeal
ed to Chief Rice and were told that
they would be protected from every
future disturbance If it took every
man on the force.
The crowd has tried to cut the
tent ropes and stampede the be.

MOTHERS PLEA OF GUILTY
ACCOUNTS HER OF MURDER

Special Correspondent to The Press.
LA PLATA Nd, July 20.-When
q jury declared that Mrs. Mollie
Bowie, accused Of the murder of
Hubert Posey, her daughters be-
traying lover, was not guilty of the
charge, 1t established this remark
able precedent in American juris-
prudence:
"A mother is justified in murder
ing the man who seduces her
daughter. The unwritten law is the
law of justice. The murderess may
go forth and take hes place in hon
orable society,""
1t took the jury exactly 5 min
utes to make up its mind and take
j ballot setting the woman free.
Never in the court annals of the
country has there been a more re-
markable case than that recited in
the grim old court house of this vii
lage.

RACE TRACK WEDDING

CODY, Wyo., July 20.-John c.
Dodge, a bronco buster, and Mrs.
o. F. Hazen, twice a widow, were
married on horseback in front of
the grandstand at the race track
by Judge Brundage. While the
band played an inspiring air the
bride and bridegroom dashed
around the race track. When di-
rectly in front of the grandstand
the bridegroom snatched the WON
an from the back of her running
horse and landed her in front of
him on his own horse. They were
then married by the judge. Judge
Brundage, contrary to custom, re-
fused to kiss the bride and con-
cealed himself under the grand
stand lest he be forced to do so by
the friends of the couple.
