Stnalce Predicament That Andrew Kite lite la la It Keinalaa to tie Settled . A peculiar case, and one that happily is not often found is j jst now in Mag istrate Wivill's c nrt for settlement. As stated in Thb Aboos yesterday, Andrew Ritchie ia under arrest, charged with a serious crime by Minnie Johnson, a girl not yet of age. As a natural consequence, when young Ritchie was arrested he ex pressed his intention of doing what is proper in such cases, namely, have a marriage ceremony performed. To do this be, being under age, sought the con sent of her parents, wbich was readily ottained, and yesterday morning was set for the time. The girl appeared at the time set and 'was willing to have the ceremony go on, but her parents did not appear uor would they consent to the marri-ige of their daughter with young Ritchie This put & decidedly different appearance to the case and it was again postponed until this morning in hopes of inducing tbe girl's parents to allow the young couple to be marred. Today fonnd tbe matter in the same condition as yesterday, tbe young man was brought up to Magistrate Wivi.l's office, but the girl's folks did not appear and he was again taken to the armory He has now been locked up 49 hours, wuile he is willing and even anxious to amend matters as best be can ind yet is not permitted to to so. Tbe mij -sry or the" law is a great thing at times, but here is case where both parties are willing to be married and vet are prevented hy a branch of the same law that seeks to have the young man make amends for his wrong aoine.
