Preparations for the Wedding

! travels a Main street beat during the
day time, and Wednesday the dull
monotony Of his work was broken by
soar into the regions of romance
when he was called upon to be the
intermediary between a love-sick
Italian and the young woman on
whom he had set his heart aud who
| sick swain was Joseph Pink, who
slept on hard bed at the county jail
Wednesday night, and the bride-to-be
was Miss Amiziata Cara, fifteen
year old italian girl, whoresides with
her aunt on South street. The course
of their true love ran exceedingly
rough, but the romance is off today
and the license which was issued for
the marriage of the couple will be re-
turned unused to the County Clerk,
and the man who had purchased his
wedding suit and had arranged for
the wedding meats will probably be
put under peace bond to prevent
him from interfering with the liberty
Of the young woman.
The break in the romance all re-
suited from the fact that Pink was
too amorous a lover. The little Ital-
ian girl had plighted her troth to him
and two weeks ago he went to the
County Clerk and secured license
for the marriage. He urged the girl
to marry him at once, but the young
woman, like many others of her sex,
had love for furbelows and laces,
and to this end she had decided to de-
lay the wedding until she could have
wedding dress and all that accom-
panied it. Smarting under the en-
forced delay Pink applied TO the
police for aid late Wednesday after
noon. He displayed the license, and
declared that he desired the aid Of
the police to force the young woman
to accompany him to the altar. It
was a new proposition for the Chief,
and he finally selected Officer Leik to
take the job Of reconciling the two
lovers.
Leik went with Pink to the home of
the girl and he received decidedly
chilly reception and was at once in.
formed that the young woman had
changed her mind. She declared that
Pink had been too strenuous in MS
love making and that he had even in
sisted on using revolver to bring
out the strong points Of his proposal
Of marriage. She had admitted that
there was time when she cared for
Joe just little, but she declared that
even this little love had been vitiated
| by his continued threats. She claimed
that he had pushed revolver through
the window Wednesday when she had
refused to see him. Iteik heard the
whole story and at the end of it the
girl took the engagement ring from
her finger and turned it over to the
big policeman with orders to return il
/ to Pink. This was done, and wher
Leik went to look after the groom tc
be, he found that he had big bulldog
revolver in his hip pocket. The wed
ding march was changed to that Of
the rogue's march and Pink was es
corted to the lookup, where he re-
NAMED until summoned before the
court this morning to answer to q
charge Of carrying con eeaied weapons
This morning the entire wedding
party gathered at the police Office, ant
the come1y Italian girl declared thai
she had not changed her mind agar
and that she would have nothing more
to do with Pink or his friends. She
wept copiously, but did not revers'
her decision, and Pink has been sen
out into the cold world an engagement
ring and marriage license to Thu
good. He may be able to use thu
ring again, but the license will rep
resent profit and loss of rs cents.
Pink was brought before justice
| Sturges and paid SIS and costs fo
carrying concealed weapons. He ais
gave a recognizance bond to keep tn
peace. He said after the hearing tina
he had number of first class wed
ding dresses and lot of household
furniture and was open for negotia
