nesday with the expectation of his fu ture wife arriving the next morning. The lady in question is Miss Lucia Dantizger of New York. and this is her first trip to Arizona. The groom's disappointment may be surmised when the train came in without her. The west bound passenger was several hours late. MT. Pepper was in Phoe- nix while his bride-to-be was alone at the desolate station. and between them coursed the raging Gila.
 Later in the day message came to Mir. Pepper which somewhat allayed his first cOmmiserations of spirit for his lady love. Besides the marriage license. this was about the most prec- ious missive Gn his possession. The young man could not be blamed for having referred to it often during the day. and taking new courage there from.
 Yesterday will go down as the long est da:- no doubt. for the happy pair. when the- are made happy. Last night the groom left for Maricopa to
 
 that if the justice could be aroused. they would be married at once. But he had little faith in justices. for they are never around at the right time. If he could not la:- his hands on that func- tionary, they would come back to Phoenix and be married today. Per haps at the time it did not occur to Mir. Pepper that a Phoenix license would rot he O. much use in Pinal county. In view of which circumstance it is probable that the happy event will come to pass here this morning.
 The groom has been in Arizona about eight months and intends to re- main here making his home at Salome where he "ill follow his profession as assayer. He has done the work for the Harqua Hala company while at Wen den. While the difficulties in getting married as planned were not happy, they will not prove insurmOuntable. and the couple will look back on them with many pleasant remembrances when the sunshine shimmers on the placid reaches of loves summer sea.
