A new ruling has been made by
Judge L. B. Woodside, who presidei
over the courts of the Nineteenth
judicial circuit; he has interpreted tht
marriage law as enacted by the Lac
legislature and which will likely b.
taken as the standing law in man,
cases. Judge Woodside has ruled
that ladies who were eighteen year
of age when the law was passed arr
eligible for marriage without the con
sent of their parents. All who hal
not reached that age when the Law
went into effect must be accompanie,
with the consent of the parents, or re
turn home sadly disappointed.
