The bride left Lake City ac- ; companied by her two brothers, { aifid, Olsen loft Animas Forks at the samej hour, accompanied b) r the Rev. Fatherij ! Ley, of Siiverton, and a few -friends j The only way of scaling the snowcovered mountain was on snow shoes, and the climbing: was fatiguinsf. The groom and the minister arrivied first at the designated meeting point; but they did not have long to wait, for the bride and her brothers were soon observed nearirig the spot, trudging along cheerily. Miss Connors seemed less fatigued than any other member of the party. After a short rest, Father Ley performed the wedding ceromony with as much impress!veness as if it had taken place m a church. The minister, the bride, the groom and the witnesses of the marriage grouped themselves together as closely as the Canadian snow ghoeo would permit.
