WILD WEST WEDDING

MAYOR BINGHAM WILL OFFICI-
ATE AT MARRIAGE OF INDIAN
AND COWGIRL AT CARNIVAL
GROUNDS.

An unusual event will occur at the
Jones show this evening in the shape
of a real, sure enough wedding. Not
an ordinary sort of a ceremony, such
as conventional Eastern folk are ac-
customed to, but a genuine cowboy
affair, staged in real western stvle,
the principals being Jack Grizzle. of
Billings, Mont, and Miss Daisy South,
of Pierre, South Dakota

Jones shows and when they applied

There are bunch of western dare
devils with the wild west show who
like nothing better than fun as they
see it and that they will make things
warm for the couple of newlyweds to-
night goes without saying
Mr.. Grizzle, among the Western fra
ternity, is known as Montana Jack
and has reputation as a "shootemup''
kid He is about one third Cherokee
Indian and is liable to take a notion
to appear for the ceremony in full
regalia of war paint and feathers.
The bride-to-be is a pretty lass
whose bright, rosy cheeks stamp her
as the girl of the out-of-doors variety
Most of her life was spent on the
Dakota praries with her father whose
vocation was the romantic one of
herding cattle on the boundless
plains Miss South decided that the
T, Western ranges were alright but that
more money could be accumulated
demonstrating her prowess as a bron.

circus. Hence, her presence here with
