Everett, March I There wm trouble
In the office of Justice Clarke Tuesday
morning, all because of an interrupted
marriage ceremony. The couple to be
wedded,' George W. Simpson, an Ev
erett mall carrier, and Minerva. Nel
son, also of Everett, both colored, were
standing before the Judge, while a
number of curious onlookers were
watching the ceremony. He was Just
ready to pronounce the final words
making thsm man and wife when the
door of the court room was suddenly
burst open. , i
"Stop them thar goln's on," shouted
an old and diminutive colored woman,
as she entered with a speed that
brought her before Judge Clarke be
fore he had lime to learn what the dis
turbance was. "What ar yu-uns doin'
with my chile V she demanded fiercely
of the Judge and spectators. She
turned to Simpson, who In half ft sec
end m"re would have been a groom, but
who now was bracing himself against
a .-hull-, and shouted In his ear: "Dat
gal ain't old nuff to i married. She's
mine an' you can't have her. Jus come
with me, honey. Dat ar feller ahV

The old ldy, It seems, had seen her
daughter leave home in th morning
with her best clothes on. She had then
tetenhoned to the postofflce and found
that Simpson had secured ft half day
of, and had finally rushed to the court
house to arrive at the dramatic to
stant. After her hurried entrance she
at once produced her marriage certifi

not old enough to be married without
parental consent But the Judge
couldn't figure the papers that way, and
so, while '.he old lady for ft moment
turned her attention to some if the
spectators, he arranged to meet the
couple again at 12 o'clock and make
(he knot a good one. The old lady left
with her daughter and things began to
look gloomy for Cupid and his crew.
Hut It all ended in story book style
Within two hours he three were back
again In the Judge's office. The old
lady was completely subdued. She
consented to the ceremony, and when
it was over gavve the couple her bless

STARS MARK DIVIDING LINE.
Camp in Disputed Territory Located
By Officers Novel Method.
Seattle, , March S. A special to the
Post-IntelUgencer from Skagvvay says:
Captain W. P. Richardson, construct
ing officer in charge of the Haines mil
itary post, returned from a trip to
Pleasant camp, on the Dalton trail, on
February 17. Captain Richardson had
been ordered by the war department
to locate the latitude and longitude of
Pleasant camp astronomically. ' He
made the trip with a party of engineers
and Indians and found no difficulty in
the undertaking, as the weather was
pleasant and the trail good. The boun
dary line was located in a rather novel
manner, to which It was necessary to
resort under the circumstances.
The London award .leslgnated the
boundary in angles running to and
from various peaks and Pleasant camp
is conceived o be on the, boundary
line. As there Is no salient topograph
ical feature to mark the position of
Pleasant camp, and as the buildings
and other evidences of habitation and
settlement might burn or become c"e
stroyed before the boundary is per
manently marked by the government
survey, the necessity of thus early es
tablishing the position of rieaaant
camp was recognized by the depart
ment.,, Th astronomical data taken
will serve to prevent any dispute In the
event physical land marks tre de
stroyed. Pleasant camn was the police sta
tion during the modus vlvendl era
when the larger portion of the Porcu
pine district was occupied by the Can
adlans. Previously the country was
under the Jurisdiction of the United
States. The seat of government when
the Canadians took possession of the
country was established at Wells, on
the Chilkat river. The offices of the
dominion customs officials, the provin
cial magistrate and the recording office
of the Chilkat mining division of the
Atlin district of British Columbia were
maintained thera
After the London award Captain
Rant, the magistrate and recorder, and
Dr. Fraser, of the mounted police, and
their assistants left' the country and
now all the officers on the trail are
Constable McKlnnon, a provincial con
stable, who has charge of the local
mining records, and Constable McDon
ald, of the Northwest mounted police,
who has besn detailed in the Interest
of the dominion customs. Both are at
Pleasant camp. Wells Is entirely
abandoned.
