Old Lover. Went to Ken
tucky'S Gretna Green.
TElEGRAPHED AHEAD FOR
CLERK TO BE READY.
When the Couple Arrived,
They Had No Trouble in
Getting License and Off,
Ciating Minister.

Fred w, Moore, aged sixteen years,
and Miss Anna r. Long aged nineteen
years, are now man and wife. Not
discouraged by the cruel marriage
laws OF this state, which denied them
COnnubial happiness until the bride
groom had reached the age of eighteen
years, they decided to flee to that par
adise of lovers-Newport. KY. where
they knew no trouble would be exper-
fenced in uniting in the bonds of wed
lock
Young Fred wired TO County Clerk
Betz at Newport that he and his below
ed would arrive there on Washing
tons birthday and asked him to have
marriage license in readiness. On
their arrival they lost no time in Sc
curing this necessary document, then
they hurried to the Grace NJ. r. church
where the pastor, the Rev. Fisher uni
ted them in marriage.
Last week Moore and his moth
er appeared at the office of County
Clerk Penny and applied for a marri-
age license. When Mr.. Penny learned d
that the prospective bridegroom was
only sixteen years old he refused to
issue the license as the state law re-
qulreS that the male contracting party
must be eighteen years of age. Mrs.
Moore stated that she approved of the
marriage and reque ested that the IL
cense be issued notwithstanding her
sons tender years. Mr.. Penny was
firm in his refusal and referred the
matter to Special Judge J. L. Rupe
who sustained the action of the coun-
ty clerk.
After MoOre's petition had been
turned down by the court he again
visited the office of the county clerk
and requested that a marriage license
be given him. Clerk Penny for a sec
ond time turned him down. Young
Fred, however. was bound that he
would marry his sweetheart without
further delay so he went to her and
proposed trip to Newport. She
promptly agreed to the plan. The
young couple are now in Richmond
and are being congratulated for their
victory over the enemies of Dan Cupid.

HARTMAN NOT
TO RETIRE YET
Too Many Moves to Be Made
On CheSsboard.

New York. Feb. 24-Edward II. Har-
riman at 60 is much too busy to think
about retiring from the railroad busi-
ness. A year ago yesterday he
thought that another II months
would find him ready to quit the
game, but says that there are still
too many moves to be made. He
doesn't propose to stop. even TO con-
slider retiring, until the complications
on the industrial chessboard have
been resolved sufficiently to enable
him to see clearly a little distance
ahead. Until then Mr.. Hartman
thinks he owes it to 10000 stockhold-
ers and 10000 employees of his sys-
tenn to stay on the job.

lntcrfereS in His
Behalf

"Buckaroo" Jack, the Indian, will
be sentenced to be hanged at the next
regular session of the District Court,
which will be held by Judge Pike in
Winnemucca some time next month.
He was found guilty of killing his
wife last October and was sentenced
to be hanged.
The case was appealed 10 the Su-
preme Court for new trial on the
grounds that If he killed his wife at
all the killing was done on an Indian
reservation. and that the District
Court had no power to pass SEN
tence. The Supreme Court would not
grant new trial and "Buckaroo"
Jack will be taken to Winnemucca

cede in the Indians behalf, but it is
not probable.
