YOUTHFUL GROOM AT PIERCE is
HELD FOR PERJURY.
swoRe THEY WE'RE OLD ENOUGH
John J. Frey is Bound over to District
Court at Pierce In Sum Of $t,ooo-lt
Is Said He viii Sue Father.In.Law
for Alternating Wife's Love.

Pierce, Neb., March 27,-Special to
The News: The elimination of min
nature elopement was reached yester-
day in the county court of this county
when John j. Frey was bound over to
the district court in the sum of 81 900
bonds on the charge of perjury. From
the evidence adduced on the prelim.
mary hearing it seems that for year
previously John j. Frey, u young man
nineteen years of age and son of a
well-to-do farmer living west of Hadar
in this county, was keeping company
with Miss Clara Cottrell whose pa
rents are also In very good circum-
stances. An old justice of the peace
statute book of the vintage of 1873
or thereabouts fell into the hands of
the young couple and believing in
every one being his own lawyer the
loving pair decided that parental OBJ
Jections could not be successfully in
terposed under Nebraska laws If the
miss was over the age of sixteen.
Consequently on January 2S, 1907,
John j. Frey appeared in person be-
fore County Judge Kelley and made
affidavit that he was over the age of
twenty-one years and that his fiance
was over the age of eighteen years
and thereupon procured marriage Ii
cense and on the same day was mar.
ried to his siXteen-year-old sweetheart.
Trouble between the families of the
contracting parties was quickly brew
ing and number of civil suits have
already been commenced. Sympathy
is about equally divided between the
warning factions and the September
term of court will be impatiently wait
ed for by both the litigants as well as
the lawyers who will probably have
farms to rent when the storm has
passed over.
And to cap the climax of the whole
affair, it is said that Frey intends, af-
ter he is through with this scrape, to
sue the girls father for alternating his
wife's affections.
District court adjourned after two
days of jury work in which jury trials
only included petty amounts. Mrs.
ZELDA Glow of Plainview, being the
only criminal case, was cleared of the
charge of administering a drug to one
Matte Rail with intent to procure an
abortion. Matte Rail having been
the complainant was touched with a
sympathetic stroke and refused to sub

and the defendant was acquitted by
the jury.

The Reason For Delayed Cold Wave.
A reason for the delayed cold wave,
which was forecasted Monday, lay in
the fact that there was low pres
sure over Norfolk and one in Oregon,
with a high pressure area, bringing
cold weather, between. 1t had been
expected that this low pressure would
bring rain or snow and that the high
pressure got caught between the two
low pressures, and was put off in an
other direction, being sent down to-
ward Denver. Later, when the low
pressure got out of the way here, the
cold wave came as predicted.
Weather men say that such another
warm spell as this section had for a
week, will not be seen again for four
weeks, and rather cooler weather will
be the rule.
Fair weather is forecasted for to-
morrow.
