A Tarrant County Doctor a Little Late at the Altar, But He Gets there All the Same
Lancaster, Tex., April 16 - Dr. TIMS of Arlington and Miss Lena ORR were married this morning at 1:30 a.m. at the residence of the bride's father, Capt. W. A. ORR, a few miles east of here. The marriage was to have occurred at 8 p.m., but on account of the fire at Dallas the train on which the doctor was depending could not reach the city, and dumped him off at Grand Prairie. He took in the situation at once and wired a friend at Wilmer to go post haste to Capt. ORR's and make known the reasons for his delay.
