STRANGE
WEDDING
Bride's Father Locked Her
In a Rocm and Went
To Town.
LOVE FOUND A WAY
And Through a Hole In the
Wall the Girl and Her
Sweetheart Are
Made One.
That "love laughs at locksmiths"
has been demonstrated hundreds of
times but the truth of the time worn
saying was brought out more forci-
bly than ever last eveninj; when a love
lorn couple overcame all obtaolcs to
their marriage by having themselves
united in the bonds of matrimony
through a hole in the wall.
When this remarkably ceremony was
performed the girl was a prisoner.
She had beeu locked tight and Tast
in a room by her father to avoid just
such a condition or affairs as occurred
later ou.
The irate anil determined father had
plann.;! well but he had reckon e '.
without his host. He had said that
his daughter should not become the
wife of the man of her choice but he
had forgotten that love knows no law
and that there are no obstacles great
enough to separate two lovers lent on
matrimony.
Yesterday afternoon Justice Ellis
was called tipon to perform this
strange marriage ceremony. The bride
and groom elect were both Mexicans.
The groom' was a man of about forty
years while the bride to be was twenty-seven
years old. But the bride's
father opposed the match and locked
his daughter up iu a room at his home
and came to town.
The groom not to be outdone called
upon a friend who in turn se
cured the license and services of Jus
tic.e Ellis and together they repaired
to the home of the bride to be.
She was found locked in a room
and the door could not be unfastened
so the couple were pronounced man
and wife through a hole in the wall.
Tnen the groom wanted to know how
he could get his wife and it was sug-
gested that he file habeas corpus pro
ceedings against his father-in-law
which he has decided to do. and it is
to be hoped that he will get possession
of his better half.
BRYAN'S VIEWS
Upon the Settlement of the Coat
. Strike
NEW YORK. Oct. 27 Bryan today
gave out the following authorized state
men concerning the ending of the
strike in the anthracite coal region of
Pennsylvania: "I am glad to leant the
strike is settled. The fact that the
men have secured an advance is not
only gratifying bnt shows just cause
ror their complaint. But the fact that
they were Idle a month and that con
sumers of coal had to pay a higher
price for coal because of the srike.
shows how important it is to have ar
bitration for the settlement of differ
ences between labor and capitol. A
just system of arbitration would have
secured to the miners the advant-e
they have gained and probably still
greater advantage without the loss
they have suffered. It would also have
saved the public loss."
SENATOR SULLIVAN
Denies That May Lester Has Any
Claim On Kim
WASHINGTON. Oct. 27 Senator
Sullivan who was yesterday sued for
lireach of promise by Mary Lucy Les-
tor. asserts that the suit is an attempt
to smirch his character.
In a dispatch from New Orleans he
says: "This woman has absolutely no
aim on me of any kind. While in
Washington recently I received a prop
osition from her and her advisers
which I rejected."
BIG COLD STRIKE

SEATTLE. Oct. 2. Dawson City ad-
vices say that a big strike has been

RICH CAR
OF ORE
Returns On it Probably Al-
most Without Equal In
This Section.
CURIOUS
STORY
Or a Mine Abandoned and
Again Taken Up With Re-
sults That Are Truly
Marvelous.
One of the richest cars of ore ever
brought to the El Paso smelter was
sold yesterday and a check for $24140
was given in payment of it.
The ore was the property of George
!'. Beveridge and E. A. Stent of San
Kraiyisco. It was from the Dolores
mines ou the line of Chihuahua and
Sinaloa. Mexico one of the finest mines
in the republic. Mr. Beveridge has been
in El Paso for two weeks having the
ore sampled and yesterday when the
work was finished he learned that it
assayed $00:5.00 per ton in gold and
silver.
The mine was worked many years
ago and afterwards abandoned for
some reason unknown. Mr. Beveridge
and his associates look up the claim
last year and spent over $"0000 on it
before a pound oi the product was
shipped. He now has over a million
dollars worth of ore in sight and says
there is no limit to the amount in the
mine. He has a big force of laborers
at work on the property now and will
develop it as fast as xssille.
There are several grades of the ore.
most of which will be shipped to the
smelter here. The cheaper grades will
be handled at the mines on account of
the great distance to the railroad. The
mines are over a hundred miles up in
to the mountains and the ore has to be
taken nearly all the distance on the
backs of burros. This however is not
yery expensive as labor is very cheap
iu that section.
Mr. Beveridge and uis associate left
this morning for i.ie City of Mexico
accompanied by Mrs. Beveridge. who
has joinetl them from San Francisco
They will tour most of the republic
before returning here.

SONORA COAL
All Ready To Ke Developed
E. V. B. Hose of Philadelphia is
at the Sheldon accompanied by his
wife. They are on their return from
the City of Mexico where Mr. Hose
has been to renew a concession he has
for a railroad in the state of Sonora.
Mr. Hose is interested with a num-
ber of Philadelphia capitalists in the
development of the coal fields of So-
nora and today gave out some interest-
ing facts about his plans.
"We have what 1 consider some of
the finest coal property in the republic
or in the entire country" he said to a
Herald reporter "and hope in the near
future to have it in operation. The
mines lie in the Yaqui country about
sixty-five miles northeast of Guaymas
and on the San Marcial river. San
Marcial where the mines are situated
is in a low country compared with the
Southern Pacific property and can be
worked witn little expense. We have
been developing the mines for over
a year and now have them ready to
produce.
"Last year we got a concession from
the Mexican government to build a
railroad from Guayfnas to the mines
but when we got ready to begin the
work the conditions of the Yaqui war
prevented our movements and we had
to postpone our work. I am just from
the City of' Mexico where I explained
the course of the delay and got a
practical renewal of our concession.
The work will now be pushed to com
plotion as soon- as the conditions in
the Yaqui country will admit. I do
not think the trouble there will inter-
fere with us much longer however we
cannot begin work until we have as
surance t... our teams and other prop-
erty will be protected from the In
dians. We are not in the railroad bus
iness and will not build further than
is absolutely necessary but I think
other roads will come into that coun-
try and help us to get rid of the coal
within the next year or two."
Mr. Hose says the Sonora country is
rich in all kinds of mineral and he
expects to see the country develop at
a rapid rate when railroads are built
there.
INDIVIDUAL CUDS
To Be Used At Ccmmunlon Service
In Presbyterian Church.
The communion service will be ob-
served at the First Presbyterian church
tomorrow morning and a new feature
of the service will be the individual
cups which have lately been purchas
ed and will be used tor the first time.
Much is added to the solemnity of
the sacrament by thus iermitting each
commuuicant to have his own cup.
and hold it in his hand until by silent
meditation and communion the su-
preme moment of faith and hope is
reached.
Many people "who will now partici
pate in the observation of the Lord's
last supper ha-ve heretofore refused to
do so. for obvious hygienic reasons.
There is no doubt whatever but that
the new way is more clean and health
fill than the old.
This is not an experiment as some
people seem to think. The individual
communion cups have 'been used in
many of the large churches of the east
and north for three or four years and
the plan is highly recommended by
all who have used iue.m.

TROUBLE
MAY COME
From the Summary Proceed
ings Wife Regard to
Krug's Partner. .
NO EXTRADITION
In Lehn's Case and It Is Re
ported That An Investiga-
tion Will Be Made To
Test the Action
Charles iehn who was arrested at
San Antonio charged with being im-
plicated in the disappearance of $18-
000 of the Wells-Fargo express com-
pany's money at Escalon. Mexico was
brought in from San Antonio yester-
ua -ana taken to the jail in Juarez.
The case is well known to the readers
of The Herald and has been much
talked of for several weeks.
When Lehn was brought here yes-
terday he had no idea of what was to
be done with him or what rights he
had so the special officer from San
Antonio took advantage of this and
took his prisoner to Mexico. Lehn it
is said is a half witted fellow and was
not informed on the international laws
and lost his liberty through .his de-
fect. This is often done and done too '
without the least authority and many
a poor fellow has gone to the miser-
able jails of Mexico never to escape
whether guilty or innocent. There may
be little question as to Lehn's guilt
in a measure if the reports from San
Antonio are correct but his extradi-
tion to Mexico without authority is be-
ing loudly condemned here today. It
is said that the San Antonio officers
in the employ of the Wells-Fargo com-
pany have tried to extradite John
Krug. the principal in the absconding
case in the same way but he thought
of securing a lawyer and prevented
this action. Krug is still in San An-
tonio awaiting extradition orders from
Governor Savers. In the case of Lehn
nothing is known of the part he play-
ed in the robbery -except that he ex-
changed some of the money for Krug.
In this case he is entitled to fair trial
wnich he may not get in Mexico being
anytning but a bright man.
"I think. I will interest myself in
the matter" said a local lawyer to-
day " and try to discover where the
authority for such action comes from.
If a man is guilty of a crime in Mexico
no trouble will be found in getting
proper extradition papers forvhim and
such action as was practiced her yes-
terday is uncalled for. Texas has
never refused to give up a guilty man
to Mexico and if Lehn was guilty why
could not the officers get his extradi-
tion according to law? They had some
reason for stealing a man across the
border in this fashion and I propose to
see why it was done."
A CURIOUS CATTLE DEAL
In Which the Price Is Made Contin
gent On the Election.
A well known cattleman stonuine at
tne Zeiger handed a Herald man the
following clipping describing a cattle
trade that was made at San Antonio
a few days ago and showing what the
Texas cattlemen think of Bryan and
his policy: Two heavy deals in live
stock were made Tuesday which are
the first of any magnitude for tnanv
months. The deals were consummated
while the parties were on the train en
route to the San Antonio fair. The
conditions of the two contracts are
somewhat out of the ordinary and will
be an interesting topic for conversa-
tion until November (ith. inasmuch as
the result of the election will deter-
mine the price. Ed East bought from
J. J. Welder of Victoria. 10.000 head
of two-year-old steers for delivery in
April. 1901. The price in the event of
McKinley's election is to be $19 per
head. Should Bryan be elected the
price paid by Mr. East will be 540.000
less or at the rate of $15 per head.
.1. J. Welder bought from Thos.
O'Connor and Jim Welder of Victoria
10.000 steer yearlings for spring de-
livery at $14 per head conditioned on
McKinley's reelection and $10 per head
in the event Bryan is successful.
J. J. Welder has hedged of course
but the problem yet unsolved is
whether or not all the parties to both
contracts are betting on the same man.
The fact that it is a presidential year
does not keep a Texas cowman from
making a trade when he wants to.
The fair is having its effect. Next!
