remember. A young man who was
clerking for me In the spring Of 1880
or 1881 wanted to get married. There
was no officer or preacher, and. as
president OF the school board l could
not stretch my authority far enough
to perform the ceremony, as the ju-
venile delinquency fad had not be-
come a law. I wired the county clerk
at Las Animas and he issued a H.

preacher wired the ceremony and I.
as operator. repeated the responses
to Mr.. and Mrs. l.. c. Gillen, who
lived happy ever after.

easily obtain the four additional votes required and
