After having proved inpenetrable to
the darts of Cupid in exclusive New

capitalist, mine promoter and man
about town. fell a victim to The en-
vironments of Hermit's Lodge. a
beauty spot in tn, mountains Is
miles northwest Of Las Vegas, and

few weeks. wooed and won Miss Mary
Austin Capron, Chicago society belle,

wedding took place in this city yes
terday afternoon at the Presbyterian
manse, on Eighth street, Rev. Norman
Skinner. performing the ceremony.
Only the required witnesses, besides
the contracting parties, were present
when the nuptiaI knot was tied. Thus
In brief is related wedding which
will surprise the many friends of
Mr.. Gaberson and Miss Capron.
Meant For Each Other
Miss Capron, the bride, came to Las
Vegas early in the summer, accom-
panied by her father, the two going to
El Porvenir mountain resort to enjoy
an outing. They were shortly after
joined by her sister. Pressing bust
ness subsequently called Mr.. Capron
east. Miss Capron later went to Her
mit's lodge, famed for its magnific-
ence, where she became the guest of
Col. and Mrs. J. A. Baker, the former
being Mr.. Garberson's right hand
man in the development of the Hermit
mines, which are now being explored
on a most extensive scale and which
give every promise of being fabulous
producers in the no distant future
Environments Ideal
And it was the environments which
made the courtship brief, although
none the less romantic. for it was in
this lovely and secluded fastness in
the mountains, that the two lovers
were thrown constantly together, with
the result that they formed an attach
ment for each other which caused the
marriage bells to chime sweetly yes
terday, making the two hearts beat

While. an elaborate wedding woul(
no doubt have been the choice of the

those most concerned for they wanted
to do something different, something
out of the ordinary. for people Of theiI

Groom Man OF Wealth
MIR. Garberson first came to this
city last March. He is a man of
wealth, inheriting fortune upon the
death of his father, who was pro-
moter and Wall street operator of en-
viable reputation in New York and
other eastern money centers. He is
a man of wide acquaintance and busi-
ness interests, being largely inter
ested in the development of mica,
iron, copper, gold and silver mining
in different parts of the
country. His largest holdings are
perhaps in North Carolina, where he.
is the controlling factor in mica
mines, and in Alabama, where he has
extensive iron holdings. In addition
he owns large blocks of stock in COM
panies operating coke and gas ovens
in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Duluth
and is one Of the largest stockholders
in an automobile manutactory In
Flint. Mich.
interested in Baker Mines
1t was while visiting here several
months ago that Mr.. Garberson be-
came interested in the Baker or Her
nit mining properties. northwest of
this city. AS a result he has invested
a considerable sum in the properties
which Are now being developed on an
extensive scale and although the ore
is low grade copper. with some gold.
they give every indication Of being
en- producers some day. which will
not only net those interested fortunes,
but will also be the stepping stone
which will lead 70 the ultimate devel-
of this section of the territory

nary proportions.

IN TOWN.,
READY FOR FIGHT
DepoSed House Committee
Chairman Convert to
Insurgency.

Representative Fowler Of New Jersey.
deposed chairman of the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency, is In
Washington today looking after some
business before the Government depart-
ments. Mr.. Fowler's appearance in
town was Of especial Interest in view
Of his recent publication or an omen
letter 10 Speaker Cannon, which was
about the hottest contribution 10
political literature.
Mr. Fowler would not talk for pubIi-
cation about the situation I'm the House
but his friends have iearned that he is
standing vigorously by the attack on
the Cannon organization, which he made
in his letter
Mr.. Fowler is listed now as the first
out-and-out convert 10 insurgency IN
its fun significance from the middle
East. Representative Gardner Of Mas
sachusetts was insurRent on the ,r-
ganization and rules fights last spring.
and he is enlisted for the war. He was
the one lone insurgent east of the Ale
ghauy mountains. In the next session
Fowler will "go the whole road" with
the insurgents generally. and IL Is ex-
pectcd that his accession will have an
important sentimental effect on the
movement.
He strongly believes that the twin
issues Of CannOnism and AldriChism are
the greatest nenaces TO Republican
success In the Congressional campaign
next year. and he does not hesitate 10
say so. He has expressed the opinion
that the Republicans decidedly need to
unload Cannon, and be rid Of the bur
den which his Leadership Of the House
imposes. before they get into the cam
paign, otherwise. he sees reason 20 fear
ar overwhelming defeat for the party.
Mr.. Fowler Is likewise quoted as any
thing but enthusiastic about the popu-
lar effects OF Senator Aldrich's lead
ership Of the Senate. His view is that
a currency reform based on a central
bank project framed and put forth by
Aldrich, would have no chance at all
and would be an obstacle TO the at
cOmplishment OF results.
