mittee. the other members of which are

Miss Margaret Fisher Weds
Corporal Rimmer at Na-
tional Guard Mobili-
zation Camp.
With more than a hundred soldiers of
the Texas National Guard in heavy march-
ing order as witnesses, Miss Margaret
Fisher of San Antonio was yesterday mar-
ried to Corporal Walter Rimmer or Com-
pany L, Third Infantry, Texas National
Guard, and was greeted by the members
of the company as the first war bride of
the country.
Corporal Rimmer had but time to re-
ceive congratulations of his comrades and
then slung his blanket roll, stepped into
ranks and marched awav to his station at
San Benito for an indefinite term of serv-
ice. The bride entered an automobile
with her mother, Mrs. James Fisher, 523
East Quiney Street, aud was driven to the
International & Great Northern station,
where she bid her husband good-by.
The romance which eliminated In the
wedding resulted from a chance acquain-
tance growing out of a visit bv Miss
Fisher to the mobilization camp, when the
State troops first arrived. The soldiers
were at dinner when she arrived and Miss
Fisher was curious as to the bill of fare.
Rimmer was seated on the ground busily
engaged in making small h ham sandwich.
"What are you eating?" Miss Fisher in-
quired from curiosity.
Rimmer gallantly got up from his com-
fortable position on the ground and ex-
hibited what is fed to Uncle Sam's troops
In the field. The girl was much interested
and Rimmer shared the sandwich with her.
Miss Fisher made other visits to the
camp and Corporal Rimmer found time to
spend much time at the Fisher residence
after the duties of the dav were closed.
The course of true love for once ran
smoothly and the corporal, realizing that
time for courting would probably be
short, lost no time in beating about the
bush, but up and proposed before he had
known Miss Fisher two weeks.
When orders for the Third to move came
the young people decided that the time
for the wedding was about due and mov-
ing day was chosen as the day of the cere-
mony.
Corporal Rimmer was a busy man on his
wedding day. He first had to get ready
to accompany his company to San Be-
nito, then he had to procure a marriage
license and arrange for a minister. The
legal permit was duly obtained and Rev.
Hugh McLellan of the Central Christian
Church consented to perform the ceremony.
There were no more arrangements. The
entire company acted ns "best men" and
formed in a circle around the wedding
J CORPORAL WALTER TUMMFR.
| J'nrly us the minister rend tlie lines. When
1 tlif weirds pronouncing them man and
wife had been said tlie men took off their
hats and cheered.
"Kali in, Company L!" came the crisp
order of the first sergeant.
i'hc circle of soldiers broke quickly and
the men hurried to their places in line
The minister and bride stepped back. Cor-
poral Rimmer stepped in to the left of his
squad.
"Fours right! March!" boomed the
captain, and Company L, with Corporal
Rimmer, with his rifle on his shoulder,
swung out of the company street for Its
station among the cactus and mesquite of
the border.
Mrs. Rimmer hopes that the honeymoon
will not be long postponed. She said that
as soon as her husband Is stationed and
It seems probable that he will remain for
some time she will join him.
Corporal Rimmer Is a native of Missis-
sippi and enlisted In the Texas National
Guard at Port Arthur, where he has been
at work for several months.

FIRE PRACTICALLY DESTROYS!
RESIDENCE OF MRS. E. D. NEL- |
SON, NEW RRAUNFELS AVE.
Fires caused by tho explosion of kero-
sene oil stoves yesterday caused damage
estimated at approximately ftMKMV The
first fire occurred at - o'clock in tho aft-
ernoon when a kerosene oil stove exploded
in the kitchen of the residence of Mrs. K.
D. Nelson, 034 South New Braunfels Ave-
n(L
Mrs. Nelson had just returned from
town and had Jit one of the burners. She
was out of the room when the explosion
occurred. The building, a large two-story
structure, was valued at $f»,000 and insured
for $4,000. Tho furniture was valued at
$2,000 and insured for Si,000. The dam-
age to tho building and furniture is es-
timated at about $5,000
Owing to the long distance to the fire
and the fact that the kerosene spread all
over the kitchen, the house was a mass of
flames when the fire department arrived.
The second fire occurred at 4 o'clock yes-
terday afternoon when a kerosene oil stove
exploded in a cottage at 021 South Flores
Street. The cottage was divided Into
apartments. One apartment being occu-
pied bv W. 0. Robbins and tho other by
F. H. *F. Smith.
The stove exploded In tho apartment of
Mr. Robbins. Mrs. Robbins had lit a
burner for cooking purposes. Tho fire
was confined to Mr Robbins' apartment.
Tho damage Is estimated at about $700
to furniture and building:. The heaviest
damage was to a piano. No insurance
was carried by Mr. Robbins.
Tho< <1 a ma go to electric wires in the
elevator shaft of the Kampmafln Building
could not be estimated yesterday. The
wires caught fire in some manner about
0:30 o'clock. The blase was quickly ex-
tinguished by the Tire Department.
"Kerosene oil stoves are far more dan-
porous than gasoline oil stoves," declared
Fire Chief Phil Wright last night. "We
have had more fires from kerosene oil
stoves exploding than from any other
source. \oil know the heat Is so intense
that the wick expands and crawls out,
further and further, until finally the kero-
sene is open and there is nn explosion.
Stoves of this character have to be watched
constantly. The minute your back is
turned it explodes."
CLUB HAPPENINGS
I>r. O. Rothne, head of the department of
Scandinavian languages and literature in
the I'niversity of Minnesota, at Minneapo-
lis, is a visitor In the city, the guest of an
old friend, Dr. L. A. Brustad. It is Ills
first flsit to San Antonio, and he said the
city delighted him. Dr. Bothne came to
Texas to deliver the commencement ad-
dress at the Lutheran College of Clifton,
in Bosque County. The president of that
College, Professor C. Tyssen, formerly was
a member of Dr. Both no's classes, und it
was upon his invitation that the latter
eame to Texas at this time.
"I had heard much of San Antonio and
Dr. Brustad urged me to visit a city that
was unique among the cities of this coun-
try, nnd so I came," said Dr. Bothne. "As
yet I have visited only a few of the his-
toric and other points of interest, but what
I have seen has delighted me. San Anto-
nio is original and interesting. Professor
Tyssen will come tomorrow, and together
w.e shall see everything to be seen in San
Antonio. We plan to go to Galveston for
a few days shall also stop in Houston to
visit the Rice Institute and, If possible, i
shall spend a <Uy or so in Austin. This •
is my first visit to the South and I am en
joying the contrast with my home. I left
Minneapolis wearing a light overcoat. That
is now in the bottom of my trunk and I
have purchased a Palm Beach suit of
clothes. I shall acquire all the informa-
tion I enn about Texas during my short
stay here.**
Dr. (Jisle (Christian Johnson* Bothne was
born in Fredrikshald, Norway, and came
to the I'nited States in l«7fi. He obtained
his A. B. degree from Luther College, De-
corah. Iowa, In 1H7H. and took post gradu-
ate courses in the Northwestern University,
Wisconsin. 187S 7S>: Johns Hopkins i'niver
city. 1879-80, 1883-84, and pursued his stud-
ies in the University of Berlin, the Univer-
sity of Christiana and in Greece, 1903 (M.
He became instructor in Greek. 1881-83:
professor of Greek and Scandinavian (Nor
wegiani. 1KH4-M07: principal preparatory
department. 1880-96. Luther College, and
since June. 1007. has been head of the de-
partment of Scandinavian languages and
literature in the University of Minnesota.
Dr Bothne is president of the Norwegian
Society of America, honorary member of

America; advisory member <>f the Amer-
ican Scandinavian Society; member Mod

St. Olaf. conferred on him by the King of
Norway in 1011. He is the author of *<»v
eral works, among them a "History of
Luther college" On Norwegian i.
The regular weekly meeting of the San
Antonio Lodge of the U,/ *' Club held last
evening was well attended. Several appli-
cations for membership were received and
favorably voted upon and the usual rout-
ine business transacted.
• The proposed "marching club" for mem
hers was the principal subject of discus-
sion and definite plans have now been
made for effecting an organization of this
nature. The arrangements committee met
also and called a meeting of all those
who have signed up for the military
branch of t# 1-1 ks* Association for Thurs
day evening.
At this time it is proposed to organize
formally the "marching club" and to ar-
range for drill nights. The committee will
select and purchase the uniforms for the
members ami an election of officers will
probably take place within the near fu-
ture.
The list of those who will participate
in the feature has grown to over the
necessarv numbers. Secretary J. II. Blak
eney said, and It Is thought, that there
are still several of the "antlered heads"
who will join when the club Is "on Its i
feet."
Inasmuch as the State convention of Elks
is to be held In San Antonio next year,
the local lodge was given the privilege of
selecting the commander In chief of the
Elks "army and navy" of which the
"marching club" Is to form a company.
It will be appropriate, Mr. Blakeney said,
for the San Antonio lodge to make a good
showing with this feature at the conven-
tion.
TRAVIS CLUB MEETING.
An Important meeting of the board of
directors of the Travis Club will be held
at 12:30 o'clock today for the purpose of
electing a corps of officers for the en-
suing year.
The new directorate was elected at tin*
membership meeting of the club last week
and the duty of selecting executives falls
upon the body. There is also a number
of applications for membership to be read
and submitted for approval. In addition
the usual business matters will be trans-
acted.
M. M. Graves of Houston, an out-of-town
Travlsite who arrived In San Antonio to
attend the convention of the Texas rot-
ton Seed Crushers' Association, is stay-
in" at the clubhouse
The privileges of the swimming pool
were taken advantage of by a great many
of the members yesterday, both during the
afternoon sessions, which was for women
exclusively, and in the evening. The
"family night," session was particularly
well attended.
John Hurst, who for several years has
been manager of the Travis Club, has tes
dered his resignation. While on his vaca-
tion in the North recently he received
several offers for his services and has de-
cided to accept one of them.
Mr. Ilurst will leave many friends nml
acquaintances In San Antonio, who have
already expressed regrets at his going. It
is likely, however that his interests in
the proposed clubhouse for Medina Lake
will bring him again to San Antonio
within the near future on short trips at
least. He expects to make his departure
about July 1.
Y. M. C. A. IS ENTERTAINED.
Members of the Young Men's Christian
Association and their guests were enter-
tained with a moonlight social last night
by the Ladles' Auxiliary to the Associa
tion. Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Pruit offered
the lawn of their home for the occasion
and a large crowd were on hand. A mu-
sical program was rendered asd refresh-
ments were served.
Preparations are being made "by sonv
of the Association members to Join the
State Older Boys Camp, which is to be
held in the vicinity of Georgetown, begin-
ing June 1. George Wheeler, physical
director of the local Y. M. C. A., is to lie
in charge of the athletics of the encamp
ment and expects to take several of thi
older boys of this city when he leaves
Friday morning.

San Antonio Belt and Terminal Kail-
wav Enjoins Interference With
Construction of Tracks.
The Snn Antonio Belt K Terminal Itnll-
way Company yesterday obtained a tem-
porary injunction restraining Charles H.
Nauwald nnd Hermlnla Nauwald from In
terferlng with the construction of a track
across his property. The application for
the injunction was filed In the Thirty-
seventh District Court by the plaintiff
Judge W. S. Anderson granted the writ
prayed for. on the filing of a bond in tlie
sum of $1,000.
The Terminal Hallway Company al-
leged it obtained a franchise from the
city of S in Antonio to lay right of way
tracks, etc., over property purchased by
It from various parties. The railway
further contended it bought the land from
the defendants, but now the defendant
refused to let the tracks be constructed
across his property
On May 8, Charles H Nauwald, et al.,
al«o filed suit In the District Court for
revision of title, to remove cloud from title
and to cancel deed. The San Antonio Belt
& Terminal Railway Company was named
as defendant. In this suit the plaintiffs
alleged they had sold the land to the de-
fendant. but with the express provision
that a standard gauge line would be built
at least within nine months after date of
August 31. 1914. It was alleged this pro-
vision of the sale of the property had
not been compiled with and a revision
of the title therefore was asked.
