Round-Up, were married at St. Pat

rounding this romance which came
to such a sudden climax, were kept so
quiet that even the closest friends of
the young people were in total igno
ranee of the affair until after the
ceremony had been performed and
Mr. and Mrs. Cronan had left the
city for Pendleton. Following is an
account of the romance which appear

that would not be denied.
The young husband of the festival
