Miss Maude Strodtman of Napol-
con we're married in lola, Kansas,

an enterprising reporter of the lola

and his paper gave long account of
the trials of the runaway pair.
Mr.. and Mrs. Owens, however, sue
ceeded in keeping the affair pretty
dark until a few days ago, when they
decided they might as we'll announce
it themselves. 1t came as great
surprise to their friends in this

that the wedding eventually would
take place, had no idea that it had
already been consummated.
Mr.. Owen has lived in Lexington
since his birth and is member of one
of the city's best known families. He
is employed as clerk in the grocery
store Of N. E. Basket and has proven
himself young man of energy,
ability and ath active personality.

lady refined, well educated and ac.
complished. She comes from one o.
the best families of the county anC
acquired her education along literar,
and musical lines at Central college
| She is a niece of Mrs. NJ. e. Sum
mers OF this city and has visited herr
frequently. Mr.. owen is indeed for
tuuate in his choice of a helpmeet.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs
Owen congratulate them and wis
them the greatest of happiness.

timely swat winning the game by a
narrow margin. All glory to Rosie.
When the gong sounded for the be-
ginning Of the ninth round, the score
stood 8 TO 5, with the foreigners on
the desired end. The latter oblilg-
ingly expired in l, 2, 3, order in their
half and the horned ones came to
