UNMOVED BY PEACE WARRANT SWORN OUT BY SWEETHEART GEORGE TATUM WINS A BRIDE: MR8. GEORGE A. TATUM, Formerly Miss Bsrii* Las Dsnisll, one of the principals in ths happy ssqust to a stirring romance. B Allied by th* unconquerable ally, lit tle Dan f'upld, George A. Tatum, who recently caused a lively scene' In Whitehall street by knocking down two young men In the presence of hie lady levs, has Anally beaten the court# and surmounted th* obstacle of parental objection, bln turbulent romance com ing to a successful termination In a romantic elopement. Young Tatum won an bis bride Miss Bertie Lee.Dnnlell. pretty daughter of G. B. Denlell. of 880 Martin street, formerly telephone operator at the Piedmont hotel. Although Ibo parents of Miss Dsnlell .might energetically to break up th* match and had persistently ref mod young Tatum admission to th* Daniel! home for the past two years, lovs found s way, as It always does. Ths fact of th* marriage has been kept quiet and has been known only to th* relatives and a few friends of the happy young couple. TJie concluding touch to the pretty and somewhat exciting romance was administered by Rev. George H. Mack, pastor of the Cumberland Rag _ gW Presbyte rian church, ding Tatum and bis bride went to the Daniel! home end Informed Mr. and Mrs. Dnnlell of what had happened. The parents had not received ths slightest Intimation that the marriage was contemplated and It proved a great surprise. It Is understood that Mr. Daniel! did not look on the union with favor at first, but It Is said that all parties have now become reconciled. The young couple are at home to their friends, nt 161 Richardson street. Ths Knockout Blow, Certain features of the romance tire fresh In the mlnde of the public. At the time young Tatum knocked down' tho two young men. who were escort- j Ing Miss Danish and another young lady to their homes from the Piedmont! hotel one night several weeks ago. It seemed thnt Tatum's love affair had received a knockout blow. Following this lively episode. Miss Daniel) swore out a peace warrant nguin-t her sweet- i heart, rousing him to he put under bond not to Interfere with her again. And It was here that love proved stronger than the strong arm of ihe law. A few days ago, prior to the elopement. Miss Dsnlell, fully lenluing that the peace warrant was ull a farce aa fur as she and young Taturu w ere , concerned, withdrew the warrant and I took him from the hands of the courts./ As a result of his exhibition nf pugi listic prowess, Tatum also had to face two other warrants In a Justice court. Allen Strong, night clerk nt the pied mont, nnd his friend, Hugh Galvin, twrth of whom felt the effects of Ta tum's blows, took out warrants chnrg- ng him with assault and hattery. Itather than have his lady love hu miliated by appearing In court, Tatum appeared before the court, pleaded guilty and wa* lined. Miss Danish and the other young lady were both connected whh the Piedmont at the time of the trouble. They were being escorted home by Strong snd Oslvln, and at a [mint in Whitehall etreet, near the Junction of Forsyth, met young Tatum. Approach ing th# quartet, the young man had a few words with Strong, w ho was i Miss Danish, and then proceeded to make things lively by knocking down both escorts. For this offence Tatum wa* also reigned In police court, before th*» war rants were taken out, and was fined by Recorder Rroyles. Engaged a Long Time. Tatum and Mia* DunlHl had been engaged for a long while, hut had been compelled to prosecute their courtshl - claadeHtlnely becau** <’f the many dlf* Acuities of Varental objection.
