The resolution Is alined particularly at
tha Bev. Alfred Harrison Burroughs, known
over four slates In particular and through
out the United flutes In general as the
'Marrying parson " who has himself united
mors than 4.000 counples who have come
to him from commonwealths where the laws
prohibit the marriage of persons under 21
years of age without parental consent.
Mr. Burroughs has devoted himself to this
occupation for twenty years, having re
signed active duties In the Baptist minis
try In order to engage In It. His Gretna
Green, has long since gained wide renown.
He Klnpers'' Hotel.
Mr. Burroughs Is proprietor of one of the
oldest hotels In the world. It was designed
and erected expressly for the convenience
of eloping couples. Every room In It Is a
bridal chamber. It Is situated squarely
upon the dividing line between Virginia
and Tennessee. To strategic location of
tha house, one-half of which la In one state
and the other half in a neighboring state.
Is appsrent at once In the execution of the
purpose for which It was built. Scarcely
a day passes that Mr. Burroughs Is not
called upon to entertain a number of elop
ing couples.
Mr. Burroughs has performed marriage
ceremonies under almost every conceivable
circumstance one time In' a carriage racing
through the streets at night, with an irate
mother In full pursuit; and on another oc
casion with the couple standing In the mid
dle of a moving street car, the tracks of
which lie In different states. He has been
the friend of lovelorn lads and lassies long
enough to marry the children of the couple
who flrat came to him. He believes he
holds tha world's record for the number of
couples united In marriage by a single
Individual.
fiprawllng across the boundary line of two
states, and within a stone's throw of two
ether states, the city of Bristol has long
teen the goal of those young persons who
are forced to flee In order to achieve their
desires. The Invisible line dividing the two
states haa for more than fifty years beer)
a breeder of strange situations. Tha trouble
some boundary splits the electric railway
for the entire distance along one of the
main thoroughfares. It is possible for com
panions traveling within a foot of each
ether to be amenable to the laws ot dif
ferent states.
Establish! the Baalnees.
Mr. Burroughs many years ago conceived
tha scheme ot taklnc advantage of the lo
cation of Bristol for matrimonial purposes.
The hotel became a necessity In order that
he might better take care of the ever In
creasing number of his guesta. The house
was built upon plans drawn by Mr. Bur
roughs himself. He had already been de
voting himself exclusively to this business

as a rule a party of United States troopers
somewhere In the vicinity to protect them.
The loader of the Jamea gang remnant
for several years was known aa "the man

by the stringent matrimonial laws of Vir

Ir. Is believed, of the couples he has mar
ried have been elopers. The- laws of Vir
ginia and West Virginia require that ap
plicants for marriage licenses shall be 21
years old. unless they have the written con
sent of parents or guardians. While the
laws of these states were the basis for the
establishment of ' the Gretna Green, the
marriages contracted at Bristol have not
been confined to Virginia and West Vir
ginia elopers 'alone. Fleeing couples from
various states, including Kentucky, the
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, New Tork,
New Jertey, Michigan, Ohio. Indiana, Penn

sought peace and surcease from the troubles

Matrimony for revenue aa Interpreted by
Parson Burroughs has proved a lucrative
avocation. He haa amassed a comfortable
fortune out of his unusual calling. Mr.
Burroughs Is now 70 years old. So ex
tensive haa become his practice that It not
Infrequently happens that he marries from
two to four couples at one time one cere
mony and one blessing answering for all.
Only recently he was called upon to marry
five couples with a single ceremony. He

All of the eloping couples arrive at the

was ordered out with two men to guard
Eagle Pass. They were sheltered behind
some boulders Just below the level of the
pass, when they discovered the bandit
gang on the other Side. The troopers were
only three against eight or ten of the
bandlta. and Brule determined to await the
arrival of the first stage and see what
would happen.
There waa a short wait, and the coach
horses had been halted for only a minute
on the pass, when the bandits surrounded
the coach and with cool daring ordered
the driver and the passengers to throw
up their hands. As the order was given,
however, a bullet from Sergeant Brule's
rlflo winged "the man with the golden
tooth," and each of Brule's companions
picked off a bandit as the three troop
ers climbed over the rocks. Into the high
way. Seeing tha blue coats of the troop
ers, the other bandits fled, leaving be
hind the bodies of "tha man with the
golden tooth" and two of ills followers.
The' bandits were followed by other
troopers and raptured, and turned over
to the Wyoming authorities, but soon
afterward escaped, locking the warden of
the penitentiary behind the bars and
stealing all the guns and ammunition.
"Chris" Madsen was placed in charge, of
the squad ot soldiers to trail and rocapture
the outlaws. He took with him also a
one-eyed, half-breed Indian. St. Clair by
name, who had made a reputation as a
guide and scout, and Jim McAdams, a
long tlmo scout and Indian fighter.
After following the trail several days
Madsen and his companions came upon the
outlaw camp early one morning. They out
numbered the troopers, but McAdams broke
into the camp with a whoop and an order
for all tho outlaws to hold up their hands.
Immediately Madsen followed him through
the underbrush and shortly after him came
