Married In Spite Of Flood

Married in Spite of Flood

Weddings by telephone, telegraphy and even phonograph have been performed in this country, chiefly in the wild and woolly west, and their occurrence has always startled the reading public. Now comes from the same land a story of another wedding at long range, but this time by viva voce. Albert Perry is a cowboy, and Emma Moyer is the daughter of a ranchman near Perry, O.T. They had arranged to be married. A heavy storm had swollen the streams and made it impossible for the minister to reach the ranch to perform the ceremony. But a little thing like that could not daunt the young lovers. They drove to the bank of the stream that barred the progress of the minister, and he shouted his questions, and they shrieked their responses across the boiling waters. The fee must remain until the waters subside, but Albert and Emma are man and wife all right.
