LICENSE
is RETURNED

Centerville, Jan. 7.-County Clerk
Geo. C. Elliott has had returned to
him a marriage license which was
taken out and never used. Unfortun.
ately, if the man who secures a
license cannot use it nobody else can,
hence 1t is a dead loss. In this in
stance it seems the girl had not been
consulted about the matter, or ut
least, she made a statement to that
effect, according to her father, who
came in and asked that the license be
annulled.
The license was issued December 2G
to George Kaludjierovich, who said
he wanted to marry Bessie Moore.
Both parties reside at Diamond in the
west part Of the county. When
Kaludjierovich secured the license he
represented the girls age at 10, and
had a witness to bear out his state
ment, whereas, the girl was only II.
He would be liable for this misrepre.
sentatfon, but the girls father merely
wanted to correct the impression that
his daughter was to marry the man.
and only a peremptory command to
return the license was issued.
