EGER-KANNAL.

Rev. J. C. Parrett, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, solemnized the wedding the Mr. Cleve W. Eger and Miss Juno I. Kannal at 9 o’clock Wednesday morning, at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Kannal on Milroy avenue, only the immediate relatives being present. The home was prettily decorated I with flowers and hearts, the color j scheme being in pink and white, the bride carrying a boquet of sweet peas in the same color. After the ceremony an elegant wedding breakfast was served and the bridal couple took their departure for the south in an automobile. Some highly magnified reports that had little foundation have gained circulation, through the overzealousness of a yellow newspaper correspondent. When the bride and groom would have taken their departure, a crowd of their friends attempted to give Cleve an impromptu ride in a convenient delivery wagon. He secured a firm guy on one of the lines and the horse began to run a short circle, threatening to overturn the Buggy. The bride’s sister, Miss Irma Kannal, went to the rescue of the -embarrassed Cleve and narrowly escaped serious injury when she attempted to grasp the frightened beast by the bridle. This frightened the bride and she was carried into the house by her friends in a faintinc condition. Walter English, driver of the auto which was to take the couple to Lafayette, drew a revolver which was in the holster made in the seat but which was loaded only with blank cartridges, and threatened to shoot anyone who molested the machine. Ross Bringle, a friend of Walter’s who was to accompany him to Lafayette, was stood on his head in the middle of the road on attempting to head off Van Grant in a playful scuffle as Van was at work trying to let the wind out of one of the tires to the auto. The trouble all started from a misunderstanding of Walter’s motive, and apologies all around on his return has set matters straight. Of course if anyone ever deserved a good ‘ send on” on their marriage it was Cleve Eger and his bride, for they have always been foremost in playing amusing yet embarrassing pranks on their friends who entered the matrimonial state, and only recently followed Mr. and Mrs. pmory Mills all the way to Chicago on the latter s wedding trip, and made them the cynosure of all eyes on the way up .there, much to their embarrassment. They would only have reaped what they have been industrously sowing, their friends say, had the latter secured a half dozen autos and followed them all the way to Cincinnati,’ and it is Indeed surprising" that they got off so easily as they did. Mr. and Mrs. Eger will spend a few days in Cincinnati, Ohio, and on their return home they will take

up their residence in the property now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Van Grant, or will do so as soon as the property is vacated. Mr. and Mrs. Grant will move into the property now occupied by A. C. Robinson.
