censes Saturday Night.

ty Saturday night and eight persons
fell victim to his wlles. according to
the records in Judge Frear's office,

usual and one Of them proved a source
of a great deal of fun.
Sometime along toward midnight
Miss Maud LAMAR was called to Is.
sue the license as Judge Frear was
absent from the city, when the accom-.
modating young lady reached the of.
fee she found the birds had flown. The
prospective man and wife had gone
forth in search of someone TO give
them the license. Miss LAMAR re.
turned home, and then with the as.
sistance Of several who were on the
streets the couple began a search for
Harry gwarls clerk of the county
court, and finally succeeded In getting
him out of bed and down to the office
where the necessary document was
granted them. The trouble laden cou.
pie then started In search OF some
one to pronounce them man and wife.
The couple was Mr. r. n Williams.
aged 40. of Sophia. Beaver county

Alton. Their future plans. beyond
finding someone to marry them we're

DARING RIDER THROWS
STEER WITH HIS TEETH

A rare exhibition Of broneho riding
was given at the Ball park Sunday
afternoon. Some OF the widest
horses in the county were rode with
ease by the expert rider, Fred Cox. OF
Tulsa. The Wild bay known as the
Roach horse was one of the bad ones,
and Cox dismounted as soon as he
stopped pitching, SO that the horse
would continue to pitch when again
mounted. While riding this horse the
rider grabbed leather once. but says
the next time he will ride him free
handed.
One of the most sensational stunts
ever pulled of in and arena was pull.
ed off by Cox during this exhibition,
A wild steer was driven into the park
and riding at full speed Cox leaped
from the back Of the horse to the
back Of the steer and with his teeth
threw that animal to the ground.
There was fair sized crowd witness
ed this exhibition which may become
a regular Sunday attraction
