Bride and Groom Escape From Guests Who Planned Charivari.

A Seattle newspaper gives an' account of how Henry Thornton and bride escaped through a back window from a crowd of merry guests at their wedding and spent the night at a hotel while the guests who had planned a big chirivari searched in vain for them. Henry is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Thornton, and moved with his parents to Spokane, Wash., about four years ago. He was married lass Wednesday night. The account published in the Spokane paper is very interesting. Henry is now a salesman at Kemp & Herbert’s store at Spokane and his bride was Miss Elizabeth Farris. They were married at 8:30 o’clock at the bride’s home in the presence of a large company of friends and relatives. The rooms were attractively decorated wit a ferns and winter trimmings. The bride was robed in a beautiful white satin gown and carried a large boquet of roses. The ring ceremony was employed. The couple after eluding the guests and spending the night at the Pennington hotel returned to their home for breakfast next morning. They will reside at 02319% Monroe street.
