Much too Determined
A sensational affair was made public at San Francisco recently. It arose out of the unwillingness of a young man, named Henry Black, to many Miss Bigheart, to whom he was engaged. There, was, however, no unwillingness on the part of the young lady or her relatives. Every preparation was made by them for the ceremony, and when the wedding day came all that was lacking was the bridegroom. The bride and her friends waited, hoping ho had been inadvertently detained somewhere, and would turn up, though late. As he failed to appear, inquiries were made which convinced the family that Black intended to shirk his obligation. Thula, accompained by her brothers, went out to look for him. They found him, thrashed him, and having bound him with ropes they dug a grave and buried him alive. A search for him being instituted by his friends, they found him three days later, dead. The bride and her brothers were arrested.
