Stern Father Threatens to Dis.
inherit Daughter Married
in Sioux City.

Correctionville, Ia, March 16.--To all
appearances Albert Dunbar and bride.
nee Bessie Wenbourne who were mar
ricd in Sioux City Thursday OF this
week. are just as happy as though the
brides father was not SO opposed to
the match that he declares his daugh-
ter will never get a cent of his money.
In fact, there is a pretty creditable ru
NOR that he went to the length of
making his will disinheriting her before
he moved to Canada, recently.
To be disinherited by William G..
Wenbourne means something, too. He
owns 1900 acres of land just west of
this town, which he could sell for about
500 per acre. Then he has recently
purchased several sections of good land
in Canada and last month moved there
with his wife and two younger children,
leaving his daughter Bessie behind. She
Is a young woman of ability and pop
ularity, with a mind OF her own, even
as her father has. Love to her Is not
a mere matter OF parental whim, but
an affair of the heart, to be dealt with
by herself and not by papa. Miss Wen
bourne's good standing in this commun-
| ity was shown last December when she
won the popularity contest conducted
by the Correctionville News. 1t must
be admitted, however. that the young
man who has just become her husband,
played no small part in the exciting
contest.
Mr.. Dunbar is rural mail carrier on
route No l. and one OF the most i'm
dustrious young men of the community.
His energy assures him a good home.
and his bride will get along nicely with
out her angry fathers wealth should he
| fail to relent.
