R. G. Rutter, of Warsaw, Ind., with the Chatfield & Woods Co., of Cincinnati, and Miss Lillian McSherry were married Friday afternoon at the Arlington Hotel. The marriage was rather romantic, the happy couple having met in Saginaw a few days ago for the first time. Both eontracting parties are said to he weil connected. A Saginaw correspondent of the Detroit Tribune writes as follows concerning the happy coupie : R. G. Rutter, who travels for the Chatfield & Woods Company of Cincinnati, was married to Lillian McSherry, a charming siren whom he met at a famous bagnio in Saginaw. The affair is one of the most sensational that has ever occurred in the history of the city. Lillian McSherry comes from a good family in Newark, Ohio, where her mother and sisters reside, one of the latter being the wife of an influential citizen of that place. She is a pretty girl of twenty years, who has a peculiarly fascinating manner. She came here last week from Columbus, Ohio, where she had been an occupant of a disorderly house. Rutter, who is a handsome youth o! twenty-four, whose home is in Warsaw, Ind., visited the bagnio and was fascinated with Lillian. The feeling was mutual and Rutter refused to leave the house until Lillian promised to marry him. She had half a dozen admirers, one of whom was the son of a prominent merchant here and a leader in society, bui, Lillian refused the proffered hand of the merchant's son and left Thursday night for Ann Arbor. When Rutter's rival heard of this he became nearly frantic and attemptod suicide. Rutter and Lillian were married ia Ann Arbor Friday by Rev. W. L. Craft of Cleveland, Ohio. Rutter's father owns a large hardware store in Warsaw, Ind , and the couple left for that place, where young Rutter will engage in business with nis father. Lillian has quite a record as an adventuress in Columbus, Ohio, where she was the mistress of a prominent merchant. The Saginaw society man is so despondent over the affair that it is feared he may do something rash. He is engaged to marry a rich young lady of the west side who is unawaro of her lover's truancy.
