"ROPE" THE "SHUvER''
Cowboys Take Charge of Wedding in
Real Western Style.

Chicago, July 1S.-Two hundred
cowboys featured in the wedding of
Miss Marie Dedual and William Hen
derson, a cattle buyer at the stock
yards in a manner that could hardly
have been improved upon had the
scene been laid on the western plains.
At about the time the young couple
were ready to start for the church,
where the ceremony was performed,
the "cow-puncherS' arrived on horse
back, equipped in true cowboy regalia
and headed by a brass band. With
wild shots, that one might expect to
hear at a Cheyenne carnival, they ac-
companied the bridal party to the
church, the latter travelling in auto
mobiles.
Drawing up in front of the church,
the ''westerners'' quietly remained out
side while the ceremony was being
performed.
AS the members of the party emery
ed from the church, they were again
hailed with cheers, but they were not
allowed to go as they pleased.
The chauffeurs of the automobiles
were promptly lassoed and dragged
from their seats while a "cow-punch-
err substituted each of them at the
wheel. Then the cowboys took the
wedding party in charge and with two
bands leading, the shouting escort pa
raded for several miles through Sou IN
side streets. The cowboys were all
friends of Henderson and also are. EN-
ployed at the stock yards.

serious for Cleary, but seven members
of the state constabulary who had wit
messed the game hurried to the UNI
pire's aid and beat off his assailants
with their clubs.
The umpires escort finally got him
into a dressing room and for two hours
stood guard over him while the moe
ragged outside. Later the police cleared
the ground and Cleary, given different
outer attire to mislead the crowd, was
hurried to Wilkesbarre and placed on
an outgoing train.
