Count)' Clerk.
Tho marriage records In the' omco of
tho clerk of the, district court show that
September 7, 1807, a llconso to wed was
Issued to A. D. Whye, aged 32, of Auburn,
Neb., and Mary Vanarsdal, nged 28, of
Omaha, Nob., and thereby now appears to
hang an Interesting story. A. I). Whye,
to whom tho llconso was-Issued, nnd L. D.
Whceldon of Washington, D. C, one ami
tho, samo man 7 This question puzzles
Freeman Rend, clerk of tho court, nnd bis
deputy, ail Balrd.i who' Issued the license.
There wero several unusual circumstances
with this marriage license, and In tho last
few days moro havo cropped up.
A few days ago a letter was received here
addressed to tho Judge of tho district court.
It was from a man signing himself L, D.
Whceldon, and giving his address as 106
Twelfth street, N. W. Washington, D. C.
Tho writer says that a woman In Washing
ton Is causing htm considerable annoyance
by exhibiting among his friends a marriage
ccrtldcnto, in which appears his name, as
having been married to a Mrs.. NI6hblson
of Dcb Moines, September 7, 1897, The
writer asks If his name appears on the
records, and If so how It came there with
out his knowledge He, says his nlgnature
on tho certificate appears to be genuine,
but tho names of tho contracting parties
scorn to have been .crasod and other names
substituted. This letter has not yet been
answered.
Hears Also from Woman,
.Yesterday morning Clerk Roed rocclvcd
another lottcr from Washington, signed by
Mrs. L. I). Wheeldon, who gavo her ad
dress as 512 13 street, N. W. Sho Inclosed
$1 for a copy of tho marriage certificate Is-
ued tohcr on Soptcmbor 7, 1897, Htatlngthat
her husband had stolen hers and destroyed
It. kHho said they wero married September
7, 1897, and that her namo was Mary
Nicholson, and that of her husband, L. D.
Wheoldon. Continuing, sho writes that
they havo been living together over since,
except tho last flvo months. Tho handwrit
ing In this lottcr appears to bo similar to
the slgnaturo on the marrlago record.
Deputy Balrd remembers that a fow days
after tho licenso was Usucd and the couple
had been, married by Justlco Vlen, the
woman returned' to the offlco and asked to
havo tho names In tho certificate changed.
She stated at thotlmo that the man's right
namo was L. D. Whceldon, and that her
truo namo was Mary Nicholson, and not
Mary Vanarsdal. Clerk :Rced .says oh far as
he remembers, bo refused to alter the cer
tificate, but to satisfy the woman, placed
tho names she sald'wcro tho 'true ones un
derneath tbo others. Sho was, however,
permitted to cbango her signature to the
affidavit from that of Mary Vanarsdal to
that of Mary Nicholson, and the record
shows the crasuro and the change, of the
names.
" Other Kranuren Discovered.
A peculiar feature of tho matter, which no
ono in tho clerk's offlco Is ablo to account
"for at this tlmo, shows that the' namo L. D.
Whceldon had been first written In as one
'of tho contracting parties and then erased
and tho namo A. D. Whye written over It.
It also is apparent that somo other namo
than that of Mary Vanarsdal had been
first written and then erased. Tho erasure,
however, was complete, and tho name first
written cannot now bo distinguished. Tho
record also shows that tbo resldonco of both
parties was first written In an Des Moines
and erased, and Auburn, Nob., written as
that of (he man and Omaha ns.that of tho
woman. When theso changes were mado no
ono In tho clerk's offlco can remember now.
Tho records show that tho porsons wero
married by Justlco Vlen under the namo of
Whyo and Mary Vanarsdal and that they
both gavo Dos Moines as their residences
to him. Whye described himself as a trav
eling salesman. -'County Auditor Innes wit
nessed tho marrlago, which wan performed
In tho private offlco of tbo clerk of tho
court,- 88s his signature to tho 'record tes
tifies, but ho does not romcmber tho cir
cumstance. I'nsilen the Clerk' Office.
. ,How the many, erasures and changes came
to bo mn'do in tho marriage, record Is what'
is puzzling Clerk Reed, and he 'says he Is
certain no changes were mado after the
parties had attached their signatures ox
cept that of tho signature of the woman,
wbo was permitted when -she carao to the
ofllce a few days later to( sign herself as
Nicholson' in placo St Vanarsdal.
A copy of the record as It now appears
in the book was sent yesterday to Mrs.
Whceldon',' and Clerk Reed Is awaiting fur
ther developments. If Whyo was Wheeldon,
why did he get married undor an assumed
name, and If he was' was married to Mary
Vannrsrtal.or MarrNlcboleon, wby is he
now trying to repudiate (he marriage 7
These questions nro fntorostln'g Clerk Reod,
The list of marrlago licenses for September,
7, 1897, as published in tho dally papers of
tho day following, give tho residence of
Whye nnd Vanarsdal as. Des Moines, which
Is taken to show that tho words Auburn,
Neb., and Omaha wero substituted on tbo
day following the Issuance of tho license,
If not 'later.

I'lieniselves In Favor of Ile
iiioiIcIIor Court Iloonis.
At tho annual meeting yesterday ef tbo
Pottawnttnmlo County Bar association theso
offlcera were re-elected; Prosldejt, Flnley
Burko; llrst vice president, Spencer Smith;
second vlco president. W. H. Ware; third
vice president, J. J. Hess; secretary, Clydo
B. Altchtson. These committees were ap
pointed: Grievance, C. M. Harl, J. M. Cal
vin, George S. Wright; finance, George H.
Mayne, O. S. Blanchard, J. J. Host; legis
lative, W. 11. Ware, N. M. Pusey, S. B,
Wndsworth; court, George S. Wright, A. S,
Hazlcton, A. W. Askwlth.
Tho association declared Itself In favor
of having tho court rooms remodeled and,
County Attorney Klllpack, J. J. Hess and
J. J. Stewart wero appointed a commlttoo
to confer with tho Board of County Super
visors. It was suggested that tho Judge's
bench bo placed In the cast end of the dls
trlct court room' so that nttorncys appear
lng beforo tho court could enter from the
room now occupied by the county surveyor
and thus not, hayo to pass through the
crowd of spectators outside of the bar rail
lng. It wns also suggested that convon
ienco of tho court and attorneys could be
better met by moving the offlco of tho clerk
of tho district court,from the present quar
ters on the first floor to the large room
now occupied by tho county surveyor and
city assessor. Another suggestion was to
uso n portion of this room ns a cloak room
for tho exclusive uso of tho attorneys en
gaged beforo (he court.
Tho court committee was also requested
to ask the court to order tho bailiff to
keep the space Inside tho bar clear of all
persons except thoso having business thero,
During tho trial of the Doyle-Burns suit
the space Inside the bar was thronged with
outsldors wbo crowded out members ( the
bar.
The association Indorsed the action of
tho Stato Bar association relative to pro
posed increase In tho salaries of dlstrlqt
and supremo court Judges, nnd the rcpre
sqntatlvcs from this county will bo asked
to support a measure to this end.
Sovcral Important matters were referred
to the legislative committee, with a vlow to
having them brought before tho state legls
lature. Ono 1 Is a proposed amendment to
the code to provldo for tho examination and
licensing of persons undertaking to do con
