they will, if she has her way. ; They are now at the city building the bride in the chief's private office, and the husband in the sergeant's office. They are awaiting the arrival of her father, who, the girl says, will give vent to his pent up anger. The girl's story is as follows: ; Young Wray had been courting the sister of his young wife. The sister is nineteen years old. Her mother is dead. Three months ago Wray cast off the elder sister for the younger sister. The father was angry and declared that his youngest daughter should pot receive the attentions of Wray. However, the old maxim, "Where there'B a will there's a way," proved tself again. It was her firbt suitor. He gave her pretty things and they soon had permanent trysting places. Yesterday morning she started to walk to Sunday school. She had no intention of meeting her beau. When she neared the little country church, Wray, in his buggy, overtook tier. He asked her to ride and he took her to the

but did not remain for Sabbath school and shortly afterwards she slipped out and jumping into Wray's buggy, the two drove to Richmond. Wray has a cousin living on North I street. They stayed at Mr. and Mrs. .Clark's home last evening. , This afternoon about 1:30 o'clock they appeared at the county court house, and hand in hand marched up to the steps and along the corridor to the door upon which is inscribed ."County Clerk." They secured the license, then made 'their way to the office of Luther C.

The conductors who sold the tickets ! to Hires were discharged. Hires will j not be prosecuted by the company. The detection of the scheme by 1 which the company was defrauded is attributed to a Burns operative who : posed as a, good fellow and wormed ' his way into the confidence of conductors.

Hires did not deny the charge when he was called before the superintendent of the system. Investigation showed that he was a poor man and that this was his first attempt to secure money fraudulently.
