Milos NJ Gopcevic. member of the
royal Montenegran family, streetcar
conductor and wealthy rancher of Lake
county, who secured his great fortune
at the death of his wife. formerly Miss
Floyd, a society girl of this city, has
again married young woman of great
wealth
Last night, at the Russian Greek

nue. and Green street, Miss Marion B.
- Dodd. daughter of Colonel Marshall
-Dodd. civil war veteran of the best
kentuckian lineage. was welded to
Gopcevic in the presence of about 100
. friends
EVADED NOTORIETY
An effort was made by the family
10 keep the affair as quiet as possible,
not wishing for repetition of the no
toriety attending the groom's marriage
. when he was but a poor streetcar
conductor on the California street line
But about 100 friends were present at
the wedding and a score sat down to
the supper afterward at the family
4 home.
Though on the first occasion. Gopce-
VIC secured a wife with fortune of
over SL000.0O0. he can scarcely be said
20 be less fortunate in his last choice,
the bride Of last night being one of
the shrewdest Of business women of the
Psclnc coast. With her as helpmeet
the fortune. amassed from both sides,
should swell TO q great extent. Miss
DOdd has been interested in a local
wire company for but six years and has
already brought forth a revenue from
ii Of more than $1,000 a month It is
her great hope, when she has the ad-
money, TO become the foremost steel
operator on the Pacific coast.
SIMPLE CEREMONY
The ceremony performed at the
Greek church was very simple. Judge
- John r. Davis was best man and Mrs.
MaUde de Camp acted as maid of
honor. Miss Marie Dodd. sister of the
bride. alone acted as bridesmaid. The
brothers of GOpeevic. Bozo NJ and
andre NJ. the latter of whom came es-
pecially from Austria for the wedding,
and Miss Dodd's brother. Marshall,
acted al ushers Among those invited
TO the wedding were: Mr.. and Mrs.
John Rodovic and their daughter.
Bertha; Mr.. and Mrs. William 3.
Pritchard and daughter; Eliza and Mrs.
ShOrb de Bar and daughter.
The Gopcevic family has had the
public gaze directed against it on a
number Of occasions. The first was
IN 1904 when the social world was
startled by the report that the viva
cious Harry Floyd was to marry the
apparently penniless streetcar conduc-
tor. The marriage was a most for
runate match and the couple lived in
great domestic bliss for few months
and then the young woman was taken
suddenly Ill and died. Just before her
cH1 frlr
pen and wiIled her entire fortune to
her husband.
WINS WILL CONTEST
Then came the great will contest in
Lake county where the couple had
lived at the brides great estate,
= "konoyah, her relatives claiming that
she was hypnotized, frightened and
under the influence of her husband,
and her best friend, Eliza Pritchard.
The viii was successfully defended by
Judge John +. Davis, and he and Miss
Prftchard were among those present
last night to see fortune again smile
on Gopcevic.
-Gopcevic's name next sprang into
Publicity in November, 1908, when he
held DR.. Walter H Fearn, Lake coun-
ty physician, veritable prisoner in
the ~Konoyah" mansion. When sued
for $3.50 fees by the doctor, he gave
as his reason, the laconic statement
1t was for nay brother 1t was his
brother. Peter, who while visiting at
.Konoyah" had been taken quite i'll
and was In need Of medical attendance
and DR.. Fearn was kept there nearly
a month
Bozo N. GOpcevic. brother of Nilos.
is said to be the rightful king of Mon
tenegro and of the royal blood of the
ruling house Of Servia- Bul garia- The
family is most influential in its native
land and the one or two times Bozo
has returned it has been a signal for a
general insurrection. He returned on
one occasion and rescued his brother
andre who came here, for the first
time from Europe to attend last
nights event, as he was about to be
transported into exile. The home of
the brothers at 2S45 Sacramento street

this city The walls are covered with
photographs, etchings and oil paintings

garfa Many Of the oil paintings were
done by the versatile Bozo, whose
greatest boast now is that I am an
American.'
