C., officiated, Long before the appointed hour the edifice was filled with scores of friends of the young couple, who had gath- ered to witness the cere- mony. The streets in front of the church were lined with a curious crowd, and automobiles were parked for blocks away. : ' Graceful cocoanut and date palms and summer flowers were used in decor- ating the church, tending beauty to the arches, win- dows and. banking the altar rail, while vases of calla lilies placed ‘between tall, lighted tapers on the altar Were most effective. Stream- ers of white satin ribbon _ marked the pe the relatives-a | ws reserved nd i Noel Gook pros'ded ‘at the organ, isted by Hadyn Illingworth on the cornet. On the approach of ‘the bride, the sweet chimes of the church’ gave forth the strains of the Bridal Chorus from Lohen- “ The ushers were Charles N. . Crittenton, Babcock ~ Navarro, Robert Givens, Jr., and Joe Porter ys Preceding the bride was Miss Lila Crittenton, her sister and only attendant. Her gown was green | gorgette, and she wore a pink pic- ‘ture hat, carrying a large bouquet ” of roses, ~ Then came the bride on the arm! of her brother, George Crittenton, who gave her in marriage. She was never more beautiful. Her! wedding gown of white satin en-| ~ hanced her’ sweetness and beauty, _ Her simple veil of tulle brought _ She carried a bouquet of bride’s roses. At the altar, the bridal party ‘was met by the groom and his best | man, Captain John J. Maher. Canon Stokes Officiates Canon Stokes repeated the! lovely words of the ceremony. The ray of the late afternoon sun | peeped. through the side windows > ef the church, over the floor, up! to very altar rail.

They} had six search warrants, and liquor was found at only one of the half dozen places searched. That was the place operated by D. L. Cash, at the corner of Greene and Fitz- patrick streets. He was given a preliminary hearing before Jus- tice of the Peace Rogelio Gomez and placed under a bond of $200 for his appearance in court. J. F. Cooper and E. A. Murphey are the two officers who staged the rains here yesternay. They came to town and first. paid their respects to the sheriff's office here, when they were assured by Chief Deputy A. H. McInnis that they would receive every aid and cooperation that the sheriff's of- fice and force could give them. They then went to Justice Gomez and arranged to have the pre- liminary hearings before his court, Robert Carey, constable for the; second district, was detailed to ac- company the officers in their rounds. Reports from the proprietors of the places visited by Cooper and Murphey are to the effect that these officers conducted them- selves in a perfectly gentlemanly manner, making their raids in a quiet, orderly and lawful way. Even the man who was arrested stated in the sheriff's office this morning that the officers conduct- ed themselves as gentlemen in every respect while searching his place of business, J. F. Cooper stated to a Citi- zen representative this morning that he brought six search war- rants with him, that he served them all, and had less trouble in the discharge of his duty here than he had ever had anywhere else. Chief Deputy A. H. McInnis stated to these officers that their gentlemanly conduct stood out in striking contrast with the be- havior of the Miami officers who staged sensational raids here in February, and assured the officers that any prohibition officer or set of officers who would come to this city upon legal business would be welcomed by the local city and! county officers and would be given | all aid and cooperation, so long} with that of an officer of the/ law. Officers J. F. Cooper and E. A.)
