THIS MORNING

Lincoln, Neb., May 3.-Lieuten-
ant Reginald Owen of the British
Royal Engineers and Ruth Bryan
Leavitt, daughter of William ]. Bry-
an, were quietly married at Fair
view, Lincoln, Bryan's country home
today.
Secrecy has shrouded the arrange
ments for the wedding and the
honeymoon trip to follow.
1t is believed that the ceremony
was performed at IL o'clock, though
nothing beyond the mere statement
that the wedding had occurred has
been given out.
The wedding luncheon was
planned for early this afternoon and
Mr.. and Mrs. Owen, it is expected
will start on their wedding journey
today.
1t is believed they will go to
Kingston, Jamaica, where owen is
stationed. The route they will take
is kept secret.
The secrecy with which the we'd
ding arrangements we're made and
the ceremony carried out is said to
have been prompted by the desire to
prevent any embarrassment that
might have resulted should William
Homer Leavitt, Mrs. Owens former
husband, have carried out his threat
TO attempt to prevent the marriage.
Mrs. owen was divorced from
Leavitt. When her former husband,
an artist, heard of her proposed
marriage to Lieutenant Owen, he de-
clared he would endeavor to gain
possession of their two children,
necessary to gain this end.
