The parties who had come down from Chicago earlier in the day, were married in the clerk’s office by Justice Dean, and returned to Chicago on one of the afternoon trains. They were accompanied by a small white dog, and when they got ready to leave the clerk’s office the dog declined to accompany them, evidently realizing that in the future he must occupy a sbeond place in the affection’s of his mistress, and all the joint persuasion of the newlyweds failed to change the canine’s decision. Finally, in addition to the $5 bill paid Justice Dean for tying the nuptial knot, they " presented him with the dog, much to his disgust, and he uncharitably tried to palm it off on the deputy clerk, Mrs. Nichols, but she would have none of it, and the animal followed Dean out on the street, where he succeeded in losing it.
