As the bridal party entered the church and during the ceremony. appropriate piano and violin music was furnished by Miss Trump and Lloyd Stuchal, of the Arizona School of Music.
 After the ceremony and pursuant to a previous arrangement. Mir and Mrs. Creighton at once accepted of the hos pitaiity of a local social organization known as "The Bachelors Club" of which the groom has the honor to be president All fitting and appropriate preliminaries had been attended to at the Arizona School of Music which is the temple of the club. that the song of the Dying Swan" might be the sweetest one he ever sang. For once in the history of the club, the feet of many ladies were thrust beneath the bachelors table where an epicurean repast was served in an atmosphere of Bohemia, graced by the charms of gentle femininity. After the delectable spread had been enjoyed to a sufiicien- cy of full contentmert and merry jest and toast had served their purpose well. the gathering merged into a fe- licitous terpsichorean revel in the au- ditOrium. which was maintained un- til all present were surfeited with pleasure. MT. and Mrs. Creighton were then driven to the O'Neill block. where the comfortable and commodious
  been transformed into a home nest for the habitation of the happy pair
 The bride is a well known young woman who has lived in this city with her parents, MT. and Mrs. Lawson E. Allen for several years. None know her but to respect and esteem her. For the last two or three years, until she resigned by reason of her ap- preaching nuptiaIs, she has held a position of honor and trust in the of flee of the territorial auditor, and she has no more sincere well wIshers than that good natured company compris- ing oficialdom in the territorial capi- tol building.
 The groom has lived in Phoenix since his youth and is probably better known the territory over, than any young man of his age. He has been variOusIy engaged in business pur- suits, but his greatest strength lies in a weakness for the newspaper busi- ness to which he has yielded on oc- casion. having at one time or another been connected with most of the pap CTS in this city. His latest newspaper work was done for The Republican, where he was found most capable and Jne HlOSt COllpdHioildoIe oI tIIeh' hS also possesses an interest in civic af- fairs that secures for him the consid- eration of older heads and the counsel of the leaders when matters political occupy public attention. When the city water plant was brought into be- ing last July. MT. Creighton by natur- al evolution, found himself in the posi- tion of chief clerk of that department in the systematizing of which office he has -,-o,-od a very capable and dis cerning man.
