FRANTIC AT DISCOVERING
MARRIAGE WAS ILLEGAL
License Issued in Los Angeles County,
but the Ceremony Took Place
Across San Bernardino
Line


ONTARIO, June 1.-THE telegraph
wires here are being kept hot to the
east in an effort to intercept H. Clyde
Downer and Miss Emma Powell, who
were supposed to have been married a
few days ago at the home of the brides
parents here, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. NJ. D. Club of Pomona
in the presence of a large company.
Consideration. however, has been
caused by the discovery that the mar
riage is illegal because the license was
issued in Los Angeles county and the
ceremony performed in San Bernardino
county, the brides home being half a
mile east of the line. The couple are
on their wedding trip east and the
brides father is desperately trying to
get word to them to drop off at the first
town and be married legally.
