MATRIMONY AND DIFFICULTIES
BATAVIA, Ohio - April 13 - After midnight Frank
Allen and his bride expectant, the charming Miss
Mattie McCarty of Pendleton county, Ky., reached
Felicity, fleeing from the latter's obdurate parents.
A courier was dispatched to the Probate Court here before
day, and armed with a marriage license he returned to
Felicity at 7 o'clock this morning, having made a journey
of forty-two miles. By this time the hard-hearted
dad of the blooming young woman had struck Felicity loaded
down with guns and breathing death and destruction to the
gallant cavalier who had stolen his daughter. The
loving couple were spirited out of that town in a closed
carriage to Chilo?, on the river, where in a few minutes
Squire William A. Ware joined them. And
hardly a minute later the enraged father, swearing like a
trooper, reached the banks of the Ohio, when the
magistrate pushed the couple into a sk__ and floated out
with the high water, and tied the matrimonial knot in an
instant, just as the cruel parent was raising his gun to
shoot. Squire Ware yelled out: "Too
late, old man; the job's done." when the gun fell from the
stern Kentuckian's hands, his jaws relaxed, and he slid
back to the village saloon to cheer his broken thoughts
with a big drink of his native State's bourbon. The
happy couple never stopped till they reached the Kentucky
side, and the bride told the Squire, "The old man will
soon come too," as the groom tossed the youthful
magistrate a $20 bill and kissed his girl-wife. -
