caught them they would get into trouble, but they continued to frequent the place in his ab- sence. Last Friday, the father being away on the round-up, these fiends called upon the girls, and being unable to obtain their consent to im- proper advances made them, they induced the girls to come to Silver City to be married — Thompson to marry the older, and Staples the younger one. They came in on horseback, ar- riving about 3 o’clock in the afternoon. They stopped at the Tremont house and registered as F. O. Thompson and lady and J. H. Staples and lady, and were assigned to rooms 16 and 17.
