couple to get married, but presumabl
they were waiting until the necessary
amount of money could be raised with
which to furnish the young lady's
trousseau.
They were staying at a hotel at Will
son, where Miss Dora Monroe, the
daughter of the landlord, was to be
married to Roy Fulgum, the pitcher
for the Ellsworth baseball team during

legged. saw her chance to secure the
clothing without cost and she is said
to have helped herself to Miss Mon
roe's full wedding trousseau, consist
ing of three dresses and other gar
ments. St. Claire and Lewis are both
in Jail.
Mr. Fulgum and Miss Monroe were
to have been married Monday, but the
wedding was delayed until Tuesday
morning, when it was performed at
the hotel in Wilson. the bride being
compelled to wear other clothing than
that which was prepared for the i'm
portant event. the rousseau having
not been received from Ellsworth.
