Confronted With Facts by Gate City
Reporter Miss Rose Gregory
Uncovered Events Of Her
Elopement.
MARRIED SIX WEEKS AGO.
Groom Was Or. Carl Fay Huston,
Student in keokuk Medical Col
Iese and Graduate Of Drake
University.

Mrs. Carl Fay Huston, nee Miss
Rose B. Gregory, the pretty daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel L. Gregory,
1920 Blondeau street, and formerly
an operator for the Iowa Telephone
company, confessed 70 her elopement
of June 20 this afternoon when a Gate
City reporter informed her that he
was in possession of the STORY
On an early morning train, June
%, Miss Gregory and DR.. Carl Fay
Huston. student for several years at
the Keokuk Medical College, and 81
graduate of Drake University, Des
Moines, departed for Monmouth, ILL.,,
completely outwitting even the young
lady's parents and score of friends
The parsonage of Rev. G. w. Smith,
a Methodist minister, was chosen as
setting for the elimination of the
happy romance and the marriage VOWS
were taken in the presence of the
minister's wife and child, who were
the only witnesses.
Mrs. Huston returned to Keokuk
and DR.. Huston went to Russell. Iowa
to resume his practice Scarcely any
one in Keokuk, even most intimate
friends, have learned of the marriage,
which was to have been announced
Friday, only for the Illustration of
plans by the reporter. Mrs. Huston
will leave Saturday morning for Rus
sci to join her husband. 1t is ex-
pected that friends will shower con-
CALCULATIONS upon the young lady, now
that her marriage has been learned
1t is possible that wedding of this
nature has not been kept quiet so long
in Keokuk for several years. Speak
ing of her own surprise, Mrs. Gregory
said: why, even did not know
that the two young ones had been
married until two days later, and |
am at loss to understand how you
have learned of it,.
The young lady who figures so
prominently in this surprise for her
many friends possesses many charms
and graces. She was student in the
Keokuk high school and later an OPP
orator for the telephone company.
Outwitting her sister operators was
indeed clever. DR.. Huston is remem-
bered in Keokuk for during his few
years in college hei he made score
of friends.

Learns That Player Formerly With
jacksonville, Who Accepted
Terms is Playing With
Winnipeg.
BELT HAS RIGHT TO HIM
Is Burning up Wires Between Here
and Secretary FarreIl's office
and Hopes to Establish
Claim.

Manager Frank Belt is burning UP
the wires today in an effort to come
into rfghtful possession Of Catcher
Krietz, formerly with Jacksonville
Krietz accepted terms with Keokuk
when the Northern Association went
up, but he failed to report. Since
three weeks ago Belt has been en-
gagged in little secret work and has
finally learned that the player has
joined Winnipeg.
This afternoon Belt sent word to
Secretary j. H. Farrell Of the National
Commission, giving him sketch OF
the case and forwarding kilograms
which passed between the two.
Krietz is a good catcher and when
the Northern Association was on the
verge Of ruin Belt cast his eyes that
way. Before the reorganization, Belt
entered negotiations with the player,
offering him a stated salary and
transportation from Jacksonville to
Keokuls; also transportation to Oak.
land, Calf, his home, at the close OF
the season. Belt has the telegram in
which these terms; were accepted.
Belt does not want the player i'm.
mediately and 1t is doubtful whether
he would pay his transportation from
Winnipeg to 4Aeokuk. but what he
does want is possession OF him in
the event that he needs him later on
or has chance for sale.
