Accused Couple Forced to Wait
whole Day for License.
BURLINGTON, Ia, Dec. 4-(Special)-
The story OF the trfbulatlons OF DR.. and
Mrs. Loren Doxey, as told in dispatches
from st. Louis, is not complete without the
romance which occurred in Burlington, Ia,
August 80 1906. on that day DR.. Doxey
and Mrs. Dora Fuller were united in mar
riage by Rev. ]. r. Sutherland. pastor OF
the First Presbyterian church, at the
parsonage on West hill in Burlington.
THE two interested parties came to the
city the day before from JOY, Ill. They
had resided there for a number Of years.
DR.. Doxey. with his first wife and Mrs.
Fuller, with her first husband, now q
business man OF that place. DIT. Doxey
was the family physician Of the Fullers,
and there arose a scandal. and finally a
separation of the two couples, the matter
being quietly settled in each case, when
on August % the doctor and Mrs. Fuller,
then % years of age. appeared In Burllng-
ton and applied for a'marriage license. As
there was no witness capable OF swear
ing to the age OF Mrs. Fuller, the license
was refused. The couple were respondent,
but remained in the city over the next
day, when TO Doxey's Joy he met a former
resident OF JOY, Ill, on the street who
knew him and Mrs. Fuller intimately.
This was Harvey Sherer, now a resident
OF Burlington.
Thank God. sherrer," exclaimed DOxey.
grasping his hand. You are the very
man / want. You can help me out Of a
scrape." and he told sherer about his ef-
forts to secure the marriage license.
sherer at once went with the doctor to the
clerks office and identified the couple and
assisted them to procure tho license. The
couple then repaired to the home OF DR..
Sutherland and were married, the wit
nesses being Mrs, Sutherland and a young
girl Of the neighborhood, Miss Helen Will
son, who chanced TO be calling at the
house. The newly married couple then de.
parted from the city and were never heard
from again until the sensation in theil

Message on Situation.
NO DEMAND FOR INDEMNITY NOW
United States VIII Await Close OF

NO Responsible Govern
ment At Present.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-There seems to
be little doubt hat the president will lay
before congress at an early date the facts
as to the Nicaraguan situation with a view
to receiving authority for any further steps
he may see 1T to take in the interest OF
Americans resident in that country and
with a view to putting an end to the inter
minable strife in Central America.
The only communication tbs State de-
partment has received from Vics Consul
CaIdsra at ManaGua came today and re-
lated to matters Of comparatively little Inn
portancs.
AS TO indemnity for the killing Of the
Americans, Cannon and Groce, there IS
reason to believe no demand will be made
until the issue between the zelayan gov
eminent and the revolutionists has been
settled. 1t Is the view OF the United States
that there Is at present no responsible gov
ernment in Nicaragua

Moslem tribesmen, who are only
