Wedded. 2so doubt the above will cause some little surprise when the name of Fred BaSom is attached to one of the contracting parties of the happy event. Fred Ba Som was at one time a citizen of our town.

He is a lawyer and always true to his client with the exceptions of the case of 'Cupid vs. Fred," and then this vigilant attorney was ready to turn the case over to some poor stragling brother who found business not so good in that line. In the event of man some strange things happen and no doubt Fred is now wondering from whence came the fair face that has so suddenly demanded a complete surrender. A few days ago Fred was called to Chanute on a court case, and a court case it was, for courting proved to be most profitable on this trip and now Fred carries a night key that is put into practical use before 8:30 sharp every evening, or in other words he has a wife. Many of his friends in Columbus join with the Star Courier in wishing them all the pleasure that can be found in life.

Commenting on this occasion the Joplin News says: "One day last week Fred BoSom, the well known attorney, quietly slipped away from Joplin, ostensibly on a business trip to Topeka, Kansas.
