BRAWLEY BRIDAL
COUPLE FAILED
IN. LITTLE RUSE

Noel Nj. Connor and Miss Pearl
Taylor dropped into Ell Centro yes
terday afternoon, secured a marriage
license and had the ceremony per-
formed, intending to put one over
on their many Brawley friends. The
happy couple retired at the Oregon
last night with not the slightest sus-
picon that their actions were known.
Residents Of Brawley had been sus-
pecting the marriage for some time
and when Mr.. Connor and Miss Tay-
lor came to Ell Centre the natural as
tuteness of the Brawley friends de-
cided that something was coming off.
Several telephone communications dis
closed the fact that license had been
issued. The result of this knowledge
was that about ten Brawleyites Sc
cured automobiles and came to FL
Centre at IL o'clock last night,
searched and found the bridal cou-
pie.
Mr.. and Mrs. Connor had retired,
but with persistence the hotel clerk
was compelled to notify them that it
was decided that supper would be TAX
en- at Imperial. They came down
stairs and were taken to Imperial and
given an original weddinp feast which
included about everything on the
menu After the supper the party
left for Brawley, where they will make
their future home, both being prom
inent in social circles at that place.

OFFICIALS COMMENT
ON COURTHOUSE

In speaking Of the adaptability and
economy in purchasing the True Ven
Gill building adjoining the present
county court house, Mont j. Reid, tax
collector, stated: II believe that it is
absolutely necessary that we should
have larger quarters and | am satisfied
that it would be a good investment. In

us ample room for the next five years
and at that time we could dispose of
both buildings for perhaps enough to
build first class court house. BY ta-
king over this building, the present Jail
could be made into a two story build

TROUBLE IN SIGHT
WITH MOVING ARMY

Sacramento, March 1.-THE Sacra.
mento police and Sacramento county
supervisors are at odds whether the
city or county shall provide for 1000
members of the unemployed "army"
landed here last night and today.
Thorne's faction is 500 strong. City
officials refused to aid them to get
food or to place guards over them.
The county also refused food, but sent
a squad Of deputies to guard. The
men slept in a vacant square near
the railroad station. City Commits
sioner Carragher has declared he will
fight as unfair the proposition to load
the men off on some other city. He
thinks if they are to be shipped out
they should be sent back to San
Francisco. The men demand food un-
til they are ready to continue the
journey toward their objective point,
Washington.

ties met in executive conference this
afternoon to consider the problem of
the unemployed army which is march
ing from San Francisco to Washing
