MARRIED IN BATHING SUITS
Ceremony Certainly Saved Bride and
Groom Considerable Expense in
Wedding Finery.

The funniest wedding l ever saw
was when camping last summer, writes
correspondent of the Chicago Trib-
une. A girl friend and her father
were there and she met young man
whom she grew fond of in short
time. One night he asked her father
for her hand, but father objected be-
cause of the short acquaintance. The
next morning the couple met and
planned to elope, but somehow father
''got wise" so this was spoiled. When
swimming that afternoon they met
again and the girl happened to men,
ton that her father had gone to the
village and would not return until eve
ming. The boy said: 'This is our
time" A minister was on the shore
and they went to him and asked to be
married at once. The ceremony was
performed on the beach. the couple
attired in their bathing suits.

Not long ago Mr.. Pepper was about

Maria, Texas, Aug 25.-Colonel
Langhorne's name is respected by the
hexicans on the border. Hearing that
Chico Cuno was in Paloma Springs,
Captain Boudinot took twenty troop
ers and started after him Near their
destination they found themselves sur
rounded by 100 Carranza soldiers and
We're informed that release would have

"COlonel Langhorne will be very angry
If we are detained" said Captain Bou-

MeXicans announced that since the
Americans We're so few they might
proceed.
Maria, Texas.-The first of the ex-
peditiOn to cross the border on the re-
turn to the United States the pack
and supply trains, reached Ruidosa,
according to telephone advices. The
remainder of the expedition followed
Colonel Langhorne said the expedi-
tion was considered success from
military standpoint. He pointed to the
killing of five bandit suspects and ar
rest of six other suspects by the Amer
leans and capture of nine by Carranza
troops ut Coyame.
The Immediate reason for with
drawal, he said. was that there no
longer was any prospect of capturing
other bandits and there were no more
hot trails TO follow.
In addition TO recent experience
with a Carranza patrol, the United
States troops were in contact with
Mexican federals once previous dur
ing the week. This was when de-
tachment of Americans under com
was forced to pass IA Carranaz column
opposite Indio, Tame.
When the Mexicans were sighted,
the Americans took up advantageous
positions, ready for eventualities.
Captain Boudinot informed the Car
rama commander he intended to go
south. The Carranza officer asked
Boudinot for his orders and the latter
told him his orders We're to proceed.
He continued then without hindrance,
the expedition reaching IL point fifty
miles south of the border.
A request that American troops
should not be sent into Mexico was
received by Colonel Langhorne. The
request was from General Antonio
Pruneda, commander of the Ojlnaga,
Mexico, district. He made his request
through Mexican Consul Cosme Ben
goechea at Preside, where he learned
the Americans were preparing TO cross
the border.
