At
Wedding RUN FOR
THREE nights

over at Belmont on Christmas
eVe when Miss Viola Brotherton
and Claude Mielman were married.
the first night was net large enough
to accommodate all the festivities
nor long enough to suit the guests,
SO three nights were consumed in
the merry making.
Never before in the history Of
the Old camp has such a scene been
enacted or such an amount of low
BUSINESS indulged in.
At the conclusion of the last
night all hands were so tired thai
they were compelled to give up.
though they were very loath to
do so. The wedding took place IN
Atwell hall, and the ceremony was
performed by Judge H. D. Haywood
OF Manhattan. The bride was CIV
en- away by her father, Frank Bro
therton. The hall was crowded
with guests, and many Manhattan
ties were present 1t is not often
that a marriage takes place in
the ancient silver camp, and when
one is solemnized the affair is US
aaily made public so that all who
wish may attend.
And on Christmas eve the latch
string at Belmont was hung out
and everybody was merry.

started between the Taft admin

surgents in congress who are op-
posing the Taft legislation. The

ment by Representative Miller of

masterships were being held up be-
cause of his insurgent activities. He
quoted Hitchcock as saying "great
deal of pressure is being brought to
pear on me to withhold the in
surgent republican congressman pa
tronage. l am loath to do this and
am still considering"
1t is generally believed the in

whipped into line. 1t is stated that
President Taft has accepted advice
