C.LARKsBURG MAN
WANTED TO WE'D
But DID NOT KNOW WHETHER
THE BRIDE HAD A HUSBAND
OR NoT-AEr HAD HIS
TROUBLES.

cLARKsBURG, W. Va, June 25.--
After futile attempt here to obtain
a license to marry Mrs. Bertha Dal.
ton, Manuel Fogg went to Fairmont
and procured the license. Returning
here they spent all of Sunday seeking
a minister 10 marry them aud were
turned down By a number OF preach.
ers, who, had heard of his difficulties.
It appears that Fogg obtained Il.
cense some time ago to marry an.
other woman, but upon applying for
one to marry Mrs. Dalton he stated
that he had not used the other. Nor
could he inform the clerk whether
Mrs. Dalton's husband was living.
These facts deferred the ministers
from performing the ceremony.
