found Miss Jameson lying on a

About 10 days ago Miss Jameson
appeared in the police court as
prosecuting witness against Sapp,
who, she said, was annoying her
with his attentions. Sapp was al

he was not to call on Miss Sapp,

Sapp this morning called on Rev.
C. O. Kimball, well known down
town minister, to ask him to per-
form a marriage ceremony, uniting
Miss Jameson and himself. Kim
ball went to the house where Miss
Jameson was lying; and found that
neither the license nor the prOspec-

Il could not marry them, of

Sapp that. Anyway. the girl was in
