TROUBLE WILL
FOLLOW WEDDING

"That boy is not fit to marry any
one and ! will not perform the cere-
mony and if you have anyone marry
him to this girl, you will get in lot
of trouble with my court" said County
Judge Smith on Tuesday afternoon of
this week to Felice Delfraino, owner of
a small ranch near Harry Gap.
Felice Delfraino had accompanied
his son. Murizo, to the office of the
county clerk where license was is
sued granting him the right to marry
Miss Carmala Dallacroca The boy and
girl recently figured in little case in
the county court and only when it was
shown that the boy was of unsOund
mind, did he escape punishment on a
criminal charge This was some weeks
ago and at that time Judge Smith as
sumed charge of the boy on the part
of the county and had him placed in
DR.. Works private institution at Pue
bio. The boy remained there few
weeks, but Defraino had asked that the
boy be turned over to him. DIR. Work
replied to queries from the county
court and said the boy had improved
both mentally and physically and that
in time he might fully recover and as
chance was given to lessen the ex-
pense on the county, he recommended
that the father be permitted to care
for the boy. This occurred July 26 &C
cording to court records. Delfraino
the elder, made a trip to Pueblo and
secured his son and returned to their
been living.
On Tuesday the father and the boy
and the girl came to this city and the
marriage license was secured, but when
they climbed the stairs to the office
of Judge Smith, they were given
first class lecture instead of the usual
marriage ceremony. Judge Smith look
ed upon the affair as an outrage and
said the boy had no right to marry any
one as long as he is in his present men
tai condition. He said: 'The boy is
still under the control of this court
and until some good physician pro
nounces him cured, you will get into
trouble if you try to marry him to this
girl or any other girl. He has neve.
been discharged as cured and is only

has history that is in some respects
the most remarkable of any church
edifice on the continent. 1T was
erected in 1882 by devout priest OF
the Roman Catholic church. who was

OF crop failures and the losses Of
their live stock by an epidemic OF dis
ease. A store OF food supplies was
sent to their relief from the City Of
Mexico. and the priest received per-
mission direct from the king Of Spain
to establish a crude mint for coining
copper money for the relief of the
financial condition OF the colony.
These coins were cut in triangular
shape and were issued to the Indians
and members OF the colony with the
promise that they would be redeemed.

the settlement became prosperous.
These copper pieces were perhaps
the first clearinghouse certificates
ever issued.
The Indians. however. brought the
financial relief scheme to a sudden
end by counterfeiting great numbers
Of the copper pieces. which they pre-
scented for redemption. The priest
became alarmed at the unlawful in
fiation of his circulating medium and
fed from the country to avoid posi-.
Bile punishment at the hands Of the
government.
/. In after years the parish Of this an.
cient church established n copper
smelter and engaged in mining and
smelling copper ore on n large scale.
The Stag pile Of this ancient smelter
was found not far from the church r
few years ago and the smelter AT
Saltillo bought and treated the slag
at a good profit.
An American contractor who built
a railroad near the church made the
owner of the property an offer OF
81 900 for the cornerstone In the
building. 1t Is said to contain ancient
relics Of almost priceless value. The
offer was refused. At present the in
