 Practically everyone in interior Al aska has at some time heard line or two quoted from the above old time legend of early days at Circle. And that the wedding of the people named was fact is not to be doubted. But not until recently has there been a repetition of such a wedding. made necessary by the ab- senCe of a minister or officer of the law to perform the ceremony, the last mail from the Koyukuk country having brought word of just such a marriage on July 24. And an emi- nent jurist on the Outside, in the State of Oregon, in fact, rendered decision less than week ago to the effect that such common law marriages are binding on all parties concerned.
 The parties to the recent mar riage in the koyukuk. Edward Peter son, of Nolan creek, and Miss Maud Anderson, of Seattle, however, are now legally bound in the bonds of matrimony. For when Thomas B. Wright was named commissioner for the Koyukuk district the couple went to Wiseman and had him mar ny them according to law.
 The absence of an officer of the law or a minister of the gospel to perform the ceremony made the common law marriage necessity. B. J. McGinniS, the former Koyukuk commissioner, had resigned to go Outside. Nobody to perform the ceremony could be found by MT. Pet erson, although he started for Bet ties, in the hope of being able to head off Commissioner McGinnis and have the knot legally tied when his bride-tobe should arrive there. But he reached Bettles too late.
 After the arrival of Miss Ander- son from Seattle the pair had a happy thought. They decided that they would go down the river to the Alatna mission and be married. Much to their consternation how ever, they were told by Mrs Will liam Glenn that there was no min ister at the mission, after they had completed the first hundred miles of their journey down stream.
 There is nobody at the mission with any more authority to marry you than I have" said Mrs. Glenn.
 Then you're elected" said Peter son, If there is nobody in the coun- try with more authority to marry us than you have, that's all there is to it."
 So on pended knee, before a wo- man who asked the usual questions, these two people called upon heaven to bear witness to their solemn mar riage VOWS. Two prospectors, who were located after much difficulty, acted as witnesses to the ceremony
 Thus did Dan Cupid overcome the difficulties of two people who want ed to get married and could not be- cause nobody was at hand to mar ry them. The story is declared to be true, despite the fact that such things seldom occur outside the covers of novels.
