the wife in fact, and the other, wife
by law, came about through the SIM
ilarity OF the twins names.
When Alva A. Aldridge applied for
a marriage license. Cupid" Stubben-
dorf, clerk, misunderstood the Lin
coin man to say Irene instead Of
Airline when giving his future wife's
name. The officiating preacher, Rev.
IA Maxwell, pastor OF the Calvary
Baptist church, made the same mis-
take, neither he nor the county off,
Gals knowing then that there were
twin sisters with names which sound
almost alike.
The mistake was discovered cou-
pie OF days after the wedding. Mr..
Aldridgc wrote the marriage license
clerk, and that perplexed individual
referred the matter to, Clyde Sund-
blad, clerk OF the county court, who
in turn consulted number OF law
yers. The order was finally sent out
for the young married couple and the
other sister to report in Omaha and
aid the officials in clearing up the
matter.
The Maiden Sister.
The matter slipped by, however, TN
til Friday of this week, when Rev.
Mr.. Maxwell and the county court
officials received affidavits from Miss
Irene Daniels, now in Mason City,
IL, that she was not the girl whom
Mr.. Aldridge married, although her
name appears on the Douglas county
records as such. Miss Daniels pastor
