SPRUNG SURPRISE ON
 THEIR MANY FRIENDS.
From Fridays DaIly)

Wednesday evening immediately af- the arrival of the train from Ash Fork, a pretty wedding was celebrat- ed in the parlors of the Congress HO- tel, the principals being Miss Isabella Brown and Clarence Denny.
 The groom met his bride at Ash Fork, conveying not the faintest in timation to anyone of his intentions, desiring to be relieved through mod estinclinations of having it generally known in advance to his many friends in this city. Accordingly, rapid knot tieing was the order by Judge Me Lane, the officiating source, and later the happy couple met their friends and conveyed the pleasant news. MT. Denny is an industrious and well-to-do rangeman of the Camp Wood section, and through his years of frugality has a fine home for himself and bride, and accommodating other prop erty. He is a member of the well known Denny family, prominent resi- dents of this county. His bride for merly resided in this city, leaving for California some months ago. She is a young lady of charming person ality, and is welcomed to the city again by a host of friends and ad- mirers.
 MT. and Mrs. Denny will leave to- day for their future home at Camp Wood, followed by the well wishes of many friends.
