morning of the first meeting, a courtship
and finally the marriage of Miss Laura
Patterson of Baskerville and g. NJ Vail or
Fort Dodge. all OF which occurred within
a few hours and which makes strong bid
for the most unique romance which ever
took place IN Iowa.
Miss Patterson was a passenger on the
train. and Vail, in his capacity of con-
ductor did everything in his power, of
course, to make things as comfortable for
his lady passenger possible. Time SEEM
ed to drag slowly for her. SO he engaged
her in conversation. After a while the
other occupants of the car noticed the
conductor lean toward his fair companion
and confide something in a low tone. She
bushed her lips moved perceptibly, and
then she became interested all at once in
watching the flying prairies. Vail arose
quickly hustled his subordinates together,
and in a moment they were heroically
working to give the d:ngy cahoose such a
cleaning as it had never received before.
Then the conductor drew two of the tray
cling men aside, conversed with them for
a few moments in a low tone and re-
sumed his seat by the side of Miss Pat

Then. to the accompaniment OF m

were flying past, the ceremony uniting
Miss Patterson and Mr.. Vail in the bonds
of matriruOny took place.
The bride and groom will reside in Fort

At the same moment thousand
