Turner-Davenport.
Tho many friends of the family
will be interested In the mairiage of
Mr. Barry Turner, fomerly of this
city, now of Holdenvllle, Okla. Mr.
Turner was married in Oklahoma
City to Miss Myrtle Davenport. They
left Holde.hville quietly and came
back before anyone knew they were
to be man led. Tho bride Is employ
ed in the poitoffice at Holdenvllle,
and when they' came home the sur
prised friends undertook to get even
by having a "court Inquiry," so the
Sheriff was authorized to arrest Mr.
Turner, and the court convened
charging defendant with confiscating
and taking a Davenport from the U.
5. post office. The trial was by a
ury of twelve citizens. A big crowd
was assembled and amused. The de
fendant wis found guilty and as
sessed with a dinner for the court
and friends. A report of the affair
says that the davenport whicin Mr.
Turner was charged with stealing is
a davenport no longer, and that Mrs.
avenport pleaded for the prisoner,
claiming that she would"not prose
cute him for stealing government
property, admitting that as party of
the first part she was an accomplice
in the crime. Mr. Turner, when ar
raigned refused to make a statement,
fearing that he would have to pro
duce the stolen property as Exhibit
No. 1. The court proceeded with the
trial and after the verdict adjourned
to the principal cafe in Holdenvllle.
