PREFER TO PLAY "SAFETY
FIRST," AND BALKED ON
THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY
It is a sad story of baffled love and
grief that we are compelled to unfold
r.s the result of what promised to be a
very happy wedding at the office of
the county judge this morning. The
prospective bride and groom, accom
panied by one of their relatives, ar
rived in the city on No. 4 this morn
ing, and at once hastened to the office
of Cupid's assistant, County Judge
Beeson, where everything was await
ing the coming of the happy young
couple. While the license was being
made out the bride-to-be displayed
signs of doubt and hesitancy, and
when it was time for her to give her
r.ame to the clerk she balked abso
lutely and withdrew to the court room
declaring that she did not want to
join in wedlock with the gentleman
she had accompanied to this city for
that purpose but preferred to play
"safety first" and remain in single
blessedness. The pleas of the young
man for his lady love to complete their
happiness by wedding him were very
eloquent and his love passages would
have turned Bertha M. Clay green
with envy but they moved not the
young woman, whose voice responded
"no" to the tearful pleas of the lover.
It was a sad sight as the party left
the court house unwedded and the
spectators who had gathered to wit
ness the wedding shared the feelings
of the judge who had los.t $2 in not
having the license sold. From the ap
pearance of the near-groom the world
certainly looked very dark.

THE STECHER-GOTCH
WRESTLING MATCH TO
BE HELD IN OMAHA
The wrestling fans of Nebraska in
all likelihood will be given the oppor
tunity of witnessing the famous mat
contest between Joe Stecher and
Frank Gotch, which it is expected will
be held in Omaha where the game has
been put on the square by Gene Mal
ady, the promoter who has staged
several contests in that city and is the
best sporting promoter in the country,
as all of his events are strictly on the
square and no fakes allowed. Joe Het
manek, manager of Stecher, was in
Omaha yesterday and gave out some
very joyful news to the lovers of the
game and the admirers of the two fa
mous wrestlers and this is that the
match will be held in Omaha not later
than October. In speaking of the
match Iletmanek says:
"Joe and Gotch should meet out
here in the west. This match was
promised Gene Melady months ago.
Eastern promotors may have tricked
Gotch into signing a circus contract,
which binds him until October, but
unless Gotch tumbles to himself and
busts the contract, there'll be no
match. October will be too late for an
outdoor contest and it would be ab
surd to think of staging so important
a match indoors. Gene Melady has
been sticking for us from the start
and we intend to stick by him. Mel
ady prefers to put on the match in
Omaha and so do we. Unless it is held
not later than Labor day and out of
doors, under Gene Melady's promo
tion, we will not sign up."
So if Gotch and Stecher meet it will
be in Omaha and local mat fans can
wish for no more pleasant news.

The following .short biographical
sketch tells of the life of 'one of Ne
braska's pioneer women, and a lady
who was among the early residents of
Cass county, Mrs. M. M. Parriott, who
died at her home in Peru on Thurs
day evening, March W, 191C, after
having reached the age of seventy
seven years, six months and fourteen
days. For over fifty years she had
made her home in the locality where
she passed away. '"Mother" Parriott,
as she was affectionately known in her
community, will be greatly missed by
those with whom she has spent so
many happy years.
Margaret M. Moore was born near
Danville, Iowa, October 2, 1S.,8, and
grew to womanhood in this neighbor
hood. On February 11. ISf.O. she was
married to W. C. Parriott. In the
spring of 1803 Mr. and Mrs. Parriott
moved to Nebraska to make their fu
ture home in this new and then
sparcely settled territory. They lo
cated on a farm ten miles south of
Plattsmouth, near Three Groves post-
office, where they made their home un
til the fall of 1805, when they re
moved to Peru and located on a farm
two miles south of that place, taking
possession March 1, 1S00, anil sinco
that time there was no place like home
for this good woman. She had hep.
sick since Christmas and every day
grew weaker but still had hopes of
getting well until the last. She leaves
to mourn her loss nine children, seven
sons and two daughters, Ed and
Frank M. Parriott of Peru. Joseph B.
Parriott of Nemaha, Mrs. Alma
Rainey of Plattsmouth, W. C. Parriott
of Lincoln, Mrs. Clara B. Edwards of
Elmwood, Leroy, John L. and Grover
C, all of Peru. One sister, Mrs. Sa
rah Jester, survives her, all that is
left of a large family. She leaves
forty-six nephews and r.eiccs, only two
of whom were able to attend the fu
neral, Frank Moore of Murray and El
bert E. Moore of Danville. Iowa.
The funeral services were held at !
th M. T church nt TWn s. f., r.l-, e !
afternoon, March 18th, at 3 o'clock.
She had been a member of this faith
since early girlhood and passed away
firm in the faith. The services were I
attended bv a verv lare-p crowd nn,!
the sermon was preached by Rev. Van
Fleet, who has been a friend of the
family for a quarter of a century and
pleached the sermon for the husband
twenty years ago. Mother Parriott
was buried by the side of her husband
in Mount Vernon, Peru. The pall
bearers were the six younger sons of
the deceased lady.
PLEASANT SURPRISE
TO MRS. H. E, BECKER
ON HER BIRTHDAY
Friday evening, March 24th, a num
ber of neighbors and friends wended
their way to the pretty country home
of Mr. and Mrs. II. E. Decker, and
tendered Mrs. Becker a most complete
surprise, and assisted her in celebrat
ing her birthday anniversary in the
proper manner. When the jolly com
pany first entered the Becker home,
Mrs. Becker was surely some sur
prised but soon recovered and pro
ceeded to entertain her quests in her
usual hospitable manner. Various
games and amusements were intro
duced, in which the guests entered
with much enthusiasm and interest
and made this evening's entertain
ment a most delightful one to those
fortunate enough to be there. The
jolly company had come well armed
with many good things to eat and
during the evening a delicious and
tempting luncheon was prepared,
which was served at a suitable time
and to which all did ample justice. A
few moments were devoted to social
conversation and then the guests ex
tended their best wishes to Mrs. Beck
er for many more happy birthdays
and departed for their homes, declar
ing the Beckers to be most excellent
entertainers. Those in attendance
were Messrs. and Mesdames P. T.
Becker, C. T. Peacock, Henry Horn,
Philip Meisinger, II. E. Becker, Mrs.
Will Rummel, Mrs. Will Becker, the
Misses Agnes Young, Helen Horn,
Marquardt, Harriette and Florance
Peacock, Verla and Leone Becker,
Florence, Mabel and Louise Rummel;
Messrs. Johnnie H. Becker, Charies
Brinkman, Harley Becker, John D.

French Sure of Torpedo.
Paris. March 27. "There is no mat-
j tcr of doubt whatever that the channel
steamship Sussex was torpedoed
j v itheiit warning," savs an official
statement issved here based upon af
fidavits made by American survivors.
John Hurley, Albany, N. Y.. a press
association correspondent, makes the
1 onowing statement :
''On Friday about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon while a dozen Americans
were watching from the bridge a
c-rt'-t explosion occurred in the fore
Pait Cl tn vessel without warning
and three Americans r.t least saw the
passage of the torpedo.
"V. J. Culhertson says that he saw
Miss Baldwin on the deck wounded on
the head. Samuel Be mi:: of Harvard
university says the explosion occurred
without the slightest warninjr and
that many persons were thrown into
the sea. that some were killed and
some wounded, that he raw bodies on
the bridge of the Sussex and that
while being rescued he saw two per
sons drown.
''These depositions are confirmed by
the American men and women who
took passage aboard the Essex an
whose names follow:
"John Hearley, Albany, N. Y.; Mrs
Lillian Ilarde, Now York; Mrs. Clar
ence Hanclyside, New York; Miss
Gertrude Warren. St. Louis; Mis.'
Gertrude Barnes, New Yok; Mr. am
Miss Beer, New York; Mrs. Dorothy
Hilton and daughter, Edna, New

Mass.; Tingle W. Culbertson, Lewis
burg, Pa.; Daniel Sargent, Wellesley,
Mass.; Charles T. and George II
Crocker, jr., Fitchburg, Mass.; Wilber
G. Penfield, Hudson, Wis., and Mis
Alice Ruiz, Lyon, Colo. These last
five were working in the interest of
the American Red Cross. A certain
number of the injured have been
taken to Dover."
An official list of survivors of the
Sussex prepared at Boulogne does not
contain the names of a number of
Americans who were on board. Some
of these are known to have been land
ed in England. It is said all the
Americans who were brought to Bou
logne are included, but the list appar
ently is not complete, as it does not
contain the names of some Americans
who signed the deposition indicating
that the Sussex was torpedoed.
The official list of American sur
vivors follows:
Edna S. Ilarde, Lillian D. S. Harde,
Miss Gertrude Barnes, Mrs. Dorothy
Hilton, Miss Edna Hilton, Henry Beer
and Ida Beer of New York.
Mrs. Gertrude W. Warren, St.

cans who arrived there, but there is
believed to be some doubt as to the
accuracy of this report.
The records of the American em

Calliop l'ennell anil Edna Hale as still

having arrived in France or in Eng
land.
George Crocker h.s not recovered
consciousness, but shows some signs
of improvement. Wilber Penfield. in
the same hospital at Dover, has re
gained consciousness and is much bet
to. He is suffering from a fractured
leg and injuries to the head.
A Paris dispatch giving an inter
