A LOVER s QUARREL.
Hnd Happy Termination In Marriage
OF hoy and Girl.


The marriage is reported Of Arthur Lee
Clair and Miss Dorothy Matthews. both
of this city. The ceremony was perform
ed several days ago by the Rev. J. y.
Bral<er of the First Baptist church in
the parsonage and was a quiet affair.
Both parties are under age. BY marry
ing, Arthur will probably get out of the
hands OF the probation officer, for the
eourtshlp had not been an altogether
peaceful one.
One time Dorothy. who is pretty girl,
let another fellow take her to the moving
picture shows, when Arthur was busy
hopping bells at the Sherwood House.
and couldn't get out. When Arthur heard
of this. he protested. but Dorothy wanted
70 see the cowboys chase the Indians, and
she kept on taking in the shows.
Finally Arthur thought UP a scheme to
brighten her so that she would obey him
and, suffering IN the throes q; jealousy,
ho sent her a letter. which was after
" ards introduced In city court, and told
her that II she went with that tall light
man again" dire results would follow.
After writing the threats, he drew pic
lures Of skull and cross bones and other
terrible objects about the reading matter,
and, to cinch the matter. went into a
drug store and bought large lythia tab
let, the largest to be procured. This he
labeled poison and sent the outfit to her.
The result wasn't just what was ex-
pected for he had succeeded in soaring the
girl but 1t didn't endear him to her at all.
She conhded her troubles to the police
and they arrested him for breach of the
peace and a trial followed, but Arthur
made It plain to the court that he didn't
mean all of the things in the note and
was allowed TO go on probation after a
severe talking to. Soon afterwards both
grew lonesome and the troubles were for
gotten with the above mentioned result
