‘Jest’ Bridegroom Now Deputy Sheriff* Butt of Many Jokes, Goes on Honeymoon, With Prankster Pal Along.

OFFICF staff of Sheriff Charles <Buck Sumner is waiting impatiently for new of the honeymoon trip of Deputy Sheriff Richard Conger, who was married today to Miss Hilda Kritch, 1618 South Talbot street. Details of events on the trip will be related gleefully by a fellowofficer. Deputy Sheriff Roy Hendershot. who. with his wife, 'stood up with the Congers at the marriage ceremony at St. Patricks Catholic church.

The Congers and the Hendershots now are traveling toward the northern Indiana lake region, where the Congers will spend a honeymoon ana the Hendershots will take a vacation. The reason for the interest in the trip is that Hendershot bears quite a reputation as a practical joker—and Conger usually is the butt of his jests. • MU ONLY Wednesday, the day before Conger's marriage. Hendershot arranged a wedding gift which exceeded his former pranks at Conger's expense. Both deputies were assigned to a trip to Columbus. Ind Hendershot arranged for a warrant with Bartholomew county authorities and stood idly by while his companion Conger was arrested and spent several hours in the Bartholomew jail. Conger's pleas that he was a pending bridegroom fell on deaf ears and his jailers showed little interest in his unhappy predicament. Hendershot added to Conger’s discomfort by sly sympathy extended through the bars and mournful remarks on the embarrassing explanations which missing bridegrooms must make. a a a (MONGER'S youthful appearance J and shy manner make his misfortunes all the more funny to his friends and tormentors. Only recently has the 'gang" ceased •kidding" about an occurrence during practice for the last 500mile race. Hendershot and another deputy were in the front seat of an automobile entering the gates, with Conger in the back seat. The two front seat occupants showed their badges at the gate and were starting to drive in when the guard provoked uproarious laughter with the remark: “Who's got the ticket for the kid in the back seat?" With a great show of all the dignity a deputy sheriff can muster, Conger produced his badge, but was embarrassed further when the guard demanded confirmation from his companions as to Congers right to it.

BY BASIL GALLAGHER Tim** Stiff Writer SOMETIMES in the hush of these summer evenings a golden voice floats over the White river near Crow’s Nest, north of the city. Liquid, haunting notes of a coloratura soprano are caught up by the breeze, to be wafted over the cornfields surrounding a farm on Kessler boulevard and lost in the swaying popiars lining the farm driveway. The voice is singing! •'Ah. sweet myMery of life al l,| |'vr found Hire” Ah. at UM I know the wrrrl of It all. All l hr lonfinc. arching, atrtvinc. waiting. yearning. Thr burning hope,. thr Jot and idlr frar that fall.” A hitchiker pauses along the highway and stops to listen. Sometimes a neighboring farmer rests on his plow, puzzled by the proximity of the voice, which is too clear to come from a radio or phonograph. Sometimes the birds and the cattle are the only audience to listen to melodies that won the plaudits of Broadway for twentytwo years; a voice which gained for Florence Webber stardom and wealth on the Great White Way; a voice which first gave expression to Victor Herbert's beautiful ballad. “Sweet Mystery of Life.” from Naughty Marietta" when it toured the country two decades ago. And if the chance listener followed the golden notes to their source, he would find a jolly, rather stout little woman standing among the giant trees in a farmyard singing to 3.000 chickens while she fed them corn. For Florence Webber, who once was the toast of Broadway, has "gone native.” She who knew the Broadway of Rectors.
