TROUBLE GETTING MARRIED
Norfolk Man, Tom Turnipseed, Has a
Hard Time In Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., Nov 1S.-Ruth Spen.
Ger, pretty young miss of 16 winters
hailing from Rising, Neb., became Mrs.
Thomas Turnipseed yesterday after
noon when Judge Charles Leslie legal.
~ endowed her with new name.
Tom Turnipseed gave his age as 81
years when he applied for a license
and was accompanied by the father
of the girl Albert e. Spencer who
gave his consent to the marriage.
The youthful couple had trouble
early iii the day. They first applied
for license at Council Bluffs, but
the county clerk was loath to sign the
permit inasmuch as the girl was not
accompanied by either of her parents.
Miss Spencer did not hesitate to tell
the truth there as to her age and her
general appearance corroborated the
statement that she was but 16 years
old.
Repulsed at the outset the youthful
couple emigrated to Omaha, where
they had little trouble in finding the
girls parent and the marriage license
was forthcoming.
Mr.. Turnipseed's home is at Wash
ington, Ia, but he has been working
at Norfolk, and it was agreed the two
should meet here for the wedding.

Later, on further appeal Zelaya
said:
"The sentence Is final"
A dispatch received today at the

this information the secretary of state
asked the secretary of the navy to

Taft Highly Incensed.
President Taft, upon receipt of this
news, was so incensed at the action
of President Zelaya that he immedi-
ately announced that he would have
no communication whatever with the
new Nicaraguan minister.
At the Nicaraguan legation it was
stated that no news of the execution
of the two Americans had been re-
ceived from the Zelaya government.

mining inspectors hazardous effort
VIII be made to satisfy demand of the
bereaved to remove the bodies.
After the preliminary exploration
into the air shaft last night the in
spector and mining experts reached
an encouraging condition and 1t was
determined to not lose a minute to
take advantage of the low tempera-
ture at the bottom of the emergency
shaft.
1t was decided to reinforce the air
smart, TO erect a scaffold to which will
be attached hosting apparatus and
to explore into the veins of the mine
as human endurance will permit.
Early today it was said that r. Y.
Williams, who went into the shaft last
night, had seen bodies in the second
gallery not far from the shaft. This
the mining experts would not verify.

spectors and officials, carpenters. ma
sons and laborers were sent for and
before morning work of preparing for
the task of today had begun.
