Investigation to Start
in Hidalgo
Hint Sensa
For several days before the election took place there were
rumors of dissatisfaction with pre-election matters in Hidalgo,
and a request was made of Washington to send authorities
there to investigate the matter. The people of Hidalgo coun-
ty appear to be much wrought over the affair, as can be seen
from the dispatches below:

BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 25—
Despite snow and wintry blasts, two
Baltimore couples were married high
in the air over the city in a double
wedding- ceremony ,* '-formed in a
cabin plane Sunday.
Two sisters, Mary and Mathilda
Gabria, became the brides of Charles
Weber and John Hapke. The Rev.
C. M. Cope ■ officiated.
“It was fine,” said Mr, Cope
when the plane landed, while the
brides, though teeth still chattering-,
said it was “just a pip.”
The ceremony was delayed for
nearly an hour because the plane
could not take off through a snow
storm^ which made for poor visi-
bility. Capt. Chas Masson was the
pilot. Six other aviators accom-
panied the cabin ship in the mar-
riage parade.
