LOVE’S FINE FRENZY DEMANDED QUICK ACTION

Rev. C. H. Seward was sleeping comfortably in bed at 5 a.m. with no thought
of early rising, when the doorbell rang violently. At the door were Lynn L.
Crows, 21, of Sioux City, and Miss Beulah R. Riddle, 19, also of Sioux City.
Would Mr. Seward marry them? He would. Would he do it right away? He would.
And so he did.

At 2 in the afternoon, Mr. Seward had another wedding,
that of Daniel E. McRae and Florence M. Murphy, both of Sioux City.

Quite unconscious of these happenings, Justice W. S. Freeman was having
sweet dreams at 3 o’clock in the morning. His doorbell, too vibrated
loudly, and Harold L. Dunbar, 22, of Sioux City, and Miss Alice Quintal, 21,
Sioux City, expressed their urgent desire to be married with delay. So they
were.
