The Memphis Democrat tells of
wedding performed by Rev. Nico-

On Tuesday morning, when the
east bound train pulled into Memphis
on the siding G. T. Gardner, Rev. M.
j.. Nicoson, Mrs. Joe Tinney and
representative of the Democrat got
aboard. Mrs Helen Hooyer of Ian
caster was on the rear coach. After
the train came to standstill Rev.
nj. j. Nicoson pronounced the words
that united for life Mr.. Gardner and
Mrs. Hooyer. While the train was
switching onto the main track the
minister offered up fervent prayer
and congratulations were rendered
the contracting parties. Some sur
/ prised passengers were on the coach
who seemed to enjoy the novel de.
parture of furnishing this sort of in
novation to travellers. Mr. and Mrs
Gardner went to Quincy, ILL.,, for a
few days stay. after which they will
be at home in this city
More delay in the slot machine
case AS noted elsewhere an applica
ton for change of venue was made
this morning in the superior court
This afternoon City Attorney Marshall
filed an objection to the motion citing
three reasons: First, because the mo-
] ton was not made in time, but after
/ the case was set for trial and motion
for continuance was made and re
fused. Second, because the affidavit
was not made by the plaintiff, but b!
a stranger to this action. Third, be
cause the motion was made fer the
purpose of delaying justice instead o
obtaining it. The attorney for the slo
machines was given until Monday tt
case is pushed ahead few more
days. Possibly by the time the Keo
kuk water power is completed, the
case will have been disposed of.
