COUPLE MARRIED;
HAD DIFFICULTIES

AT two o'clock this afternoon Justice
Of the Peace Doughty performed a
wedding ceremony in his office at the
court house, uniting in marriage Chas.
Burress and Helen Baxter, both giving
Elko as their place of residence. Miss
Baxter was an arrival from Lamoille
yesterday, but there was no wedding
on thetwelfth day of March as they
had originally planned. Owing to the
bad condition of the roads they were
unable to reach Elko in time to be
made husband and wife. though their
hearts did beat as one. After duly
considering the chance for i'll luck by
being married on the 18th day of the
month they decided that they would
rather be married at once than wait
another day even to ward off the
boGey man.
