A Hurry Up Wedding
While Justice GALLAHER was at the police court yesterday afternoon waiting for an assault case to be called, a man came in and asked him to marry a couple. He declined because he had no time to leave the court room, expecting the case to be called for trial at any moment, but so persistent were the couple to be married at once that they could not accept his decision, and begged him to step across the street to Ireland & Pancoast's grocery store, whereby they would not detain him more than a minute. Phil consented upon these terms to tie the knot, and in the presence of John McANDREW and Albert PANCOAST made John BARWICK and Mrs. Julia A. ARGO man and wife. The entire service did not occupy above three minutes, after which the justice returned to his client at the court room, and the newly married couple departed for Ferndale.
