Sleeping, Rev. LiIIey Was Per
forming Wedding
Ceremony.

In addition to the didoes heretofore
charged against Dan Cupid, he has
now reached that stage OF the game
where he is keeping late hours and
cutting capers along toward the wee
small hours of the morning.
Cupid cut one of those capers last
night just a short time before mid
night. Clerk Lake was enjoying the
sleep that comes to the innocent after
a hard days work Is done, when
Cupid picked the lock on his door or
crawled through an open window
and covered the clerk with his
bow and arrow. He marched the
clerk to the courthouse and there Sc
cured the document necessary to
make two hearts puisate at one.
NJ. R. Roberts was the man, and
Miss Rita M. Wilsey was the woman
in the case. They both gave their
home address at vincinnes, but the
former has been working in the Pow.
der works. Rev. IAlley was inveigled
into the case and in less time than II
takes to tell it, the two yincennes
hearts were beating as one.
The groom explained the lateness
of the hour for his wedding Ceremony
by the fact that his horse has a sweet
tooth for grass, and when he takes q
notion to nibble the grass. he is going
to nibble the grass, Sometimes he
gets down on his knees to nibble
and this, said Roberts. Is what the
horse did yesterday evening. While
thus nibbling the horse leaned toe
heavily on shaft and the shaft was
shattered. Then Roberts had to
return to the starting point for a
new horse and buggy. Hence the
lateness of the hour.
