MARRIAGE LICENSES
 FOR CASH HEREAFTER
A New Ruling in Pima County and Why It Was Made.

Tucson, April 6.-(Special) )-Pro- bate Judge William F. Cooper an nounced a ruling today, new in the jurisprudence of this territory. The new rule is that applications for mar riage license shall be accompanied by the cash. The ruling grows out of a transaction on circus day when l.. A Smith and Isabel MalOney, who said they resided in San BernardinO, Cal, applied for a license, the price of which is s2.50. The license was issued and the marriage ceremony was performed by the court. The fee for this is what the groom has mind to pay, but it is seldom less than 8.
 The groom groped about in his pockets, but could produce only sev- enty cents. He seemed deeply agitat- ed at the discovery and told the court that he had the money at the hotel; he would get it and bring it back. The court erred in not holding the bride as a hostage, but he permitted her to accompany the groom.
 Judge Cooper waited until today, when he learned that the pair had left town; hence. the trade.
