Love Gives locksmith Merry
Ha, Ra; They're As Happy
As Two Turtle Doves
Srorn MONDAYS Daily.

Some sentimental poet once said
that the course of true love never did
run smooth, but another one of the
same profession Immediately penned
something equally clever about love
laughing at locksmiths, and all the
rest of the cruel bunch, including
stony hearted parents, who would put
| obstacles in the way of two hearts
destined to beat as one.
Mr.. George Oliver Moss of this city,
the genial young manager of the
Moss factory for the manufacture OF
Moss Health Underwear and other
commodities, has conquered all these
obstacles, and smilingly informed a

his brides parents had forbidden the
marriage about three years ago, and

to pass between Mn Moss and the
girl of his choice, however, and when
she went to Minneapolis, and started
to go to the university the devotion
of the two never wavered.

Seth Kendall is seventv-three years
CT age. and the woman he married is
said to be about thirty five. She soon
tired of her husband and cody in
formed him, so it IS reported, that
she was going to leave him, that she
had never been married to him any
way, and was going to Kansas City.
1t is alleged that she then left town
with one William White, the pair
going to Blue Earth, and after an alb
sence of several days returning to
Mankato, announcing that they were
now man and wife, having been mar
ried at Blue Earth. They went to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thurber in lie
FILLER and stayed there for several
days. When questioned they claimed
that they were married in Blue Earth
on Thursday, December 80. Inquiry
was made bv The Free Press and it
was found that no marriage license
was issued to them either at Blue
Earth or in Mankato. Quite temp
est in teapot was developed in the
Kendall Breckenridge-W triangle,
and the matter was put UP to County
Attorney j. w. Schmitt. In the
meantime the woman in question left
her latest affinity, and White has also
row vanished from Mankato, so it
was reported today: The woman left
town last night and it is rumored that
she was assisted away by the coun-
ty as the authorities thought better
to have her go that way than to fin
allv become a county charge.
It is sad that she once applied for
transportation to Kansas City, and it
is suspected that she has gone to that
town.
