Kent, of Los Angeles, Cal., which oc curred at the home of the bride on Elm street Tuesday afternoon, Rev. J. N. Snow performing the ceremony in a very simple and impressive manner. Only a very few int imate friends of the family were present to witness the mar riage and it was a quiet affair. It seenu that there is a slight, tinge of romance connected with the affair. Prof. Kent and Mrs. Speigle had known each other years ago and had remained quite good friends during the following lapse of time. A week or more Prof. Kent arrived in the city to tarry a short while and during his stay paid his respects to Mrs. Speigle. The result of the re sumption of old ties was that the affair culminated in the marriage which took place Tuesday after noon. This couple has the best wishes of a large number of people as Mrs. Speigle was well known here and numbered her friends by the score. They will make this their home for the present but will probably remove to Los Angeles to reside in the near future. Complimented Work Of Colonel Nash.
