has been an open
secret that Charley Snow, a worthy knight of
the LC branding iron, and Miss Mollie Gainer,
a comely little maid of this city, were lovers,
whose lives would have been joined in the holy
bonds of wedlock long since, but for the objec-
tions of Mrs. Gainer.
Some months ago Charley paid his com-
pliments to the bride, and would then have
succeeded in capturing the fair prize, but his
would-not-be mother-in-law had him arrested
on a charge of attempting to shoot her with a
Winchester. Charley was fined $25 and cost,
and although somewhat subdued in spirits and
purse was by no means discouraged.
In the meantime Miss Mollie had been
given in engagement by her mother, much
against her wishes, it is said, to a youthful swain
of this city, and the nuptial knot was to have
been tied Tuesday night. The young man had
furnished rooms, and had made all necessary
preparations for the celebration of the event
in proper style.
