There was q romance IA connection
with the recent marriage Of pop
uIar, couple. the beginning Of whose
welded bliss was mentioned recently
by the Telegram. The versatile edi-
tor Of the Watzef Republican gives
the marriage the romantic tinge and
the Telegram Is glad to see its genial
friend, Joseph A. Davis, enlisted In
the good cause. That he did his
part to perfection no man who ever
had him Tor host denies. The
WetzeI Republican gives the follow
ing account of the wedding:
A wedding took place at the Ealxin
hotel Saturday, which, with only a
little imagination, might read like a
leaf torn from romance OF the
feudal times. where Roderigo
stormed the moated castle and
snatched the fair Rosetta from the
cruel hands of his rival The RI
publican is not in possession Of any
particulars at the Wallace end of
the AFFAIR, but does know of nerv-
Gus prospective bridegroom asking
Manager Davis OF the Eakin satur-
day morning IL he would allow a
marriage to take place in the hotel
parlors. 3Tr. Davis, IS accommo-
dating IL anything and readily as
sured him that the parlofs were at
his service. But this was not all.
He wanted to know II another man
he mentioned could be kept out dur
ing the ceremony. Mr.. Davis said
he didn't see how. he could. and
asked the bridegroom why he was
Objectionable. why he wants to
marry the girl. too, and I am afraid
he will stop the wedding"
Mr.. Davis's sympathies were ut
once aroused and he said he would
fix it. He got Mrs. Davis to arrange
their private apartments for the GER
emory. and the Rev. W. NJ. Given
was sent for Mr.. Davis was request
ed to be one of the. witnesses. and as
he was in an obIIging spirit he
stood up" and so It. was, Mr.. o. C..
Stewart and Miss Alice May. of Wal
alice. Harrison county. were married
without interruption. During thu
ceremony it is said the man VINO
wanted to be in Mr.. stewart's place
was pacing up and down the street
opposite the hotel and ever and anon
casting threatening, looks at the i'm
pregnable front OF the hotel, but
for some reason he did not modest
his fortunate rival. o,.,s.,.s
There is, OF course, more to this
romantic marriage than appears on
the face of the returns. but as it
.transpired at the home of the maiden
at Wallace we can throw no, light on
the failure of the other lover to
make good.
