PITTSBURGH, Sept. 19.-Desert-
ed few minutes before the time for
her wedding to Carl Bernard Swan
son, %, of McKeesport, Miss Mahala
Harrison, "a, telephone operator,
changed her wedding gown for a
sport suit, sent women relatives to
Swansons' home for him, and in her
own home administered a severe
beating to the luckless near-groom,
using only her fists.
Swanson. it is reported. went to bed
to nurse his wounds after he had
been assisted to his home by broth
er, who witnessed the thrashing, and
Miss Harrison made arrangements TO
resume her work in the McKeesport
Exchange of the Bell Telephone Com
pany. She says she believes in wom-
en- defending their rights and their
honor with their fists.
ALL READY BUT GROOM.
Everything and everybody Were
ready for the wedding except the
man. Last Tuesday a shower was
held for Miss Harrison. The ceremony
was to have been performed at the
parsonage of the Fifth Avenue Bap-
tist Church by the Rev. William X.
Hill last Wednesday evening at
o'clock. Long before the wedding
!, hour Mias Harrison and her attendant
were dressed for the ceremony. They
wore flowers sent to the home oy
Swanson at $50 o'clock.
Time passed and at GAS o'clock.
When the bride-to-be was getting
nervous, a special delivery boy left
a letter for her from Swanson. He
wrote that the wedding was off: that
his mother did not want him to be
married just now; that he was too
poor to be married, and that he was
going away to forget But he didn't
go at once, and therein he committed
serious blunder.
Miss Harrison was one OF the first
to recover her composure. The Rev
Mr.. Hill waited for the coming Of
the couple until after 0 o'clock and
then visited Miss Harrison's home.
He sympathized with her. A wedding
supper had been prepared and the
couple were to have gone to Atlantic
City for their honeymoon.
Miss Harrison made up her mind
to return to the switchboard instead
but she also had her mind made up to
several other things. One was that
she wanted the marriage liscense,
publication Of which had been made.
and another was that she wanted
personal satisfaction. She got both

relatives.
