Corns-Brabham.

Clarence L. Corns of Bonaparte and Miss Zerelda Brabham of Farmington were married at Farmington Monday evening, May 15, 1905, Rev. Longson officiating.

Mr. Corns has for two or three years been employed here in the A. J. Page barber shop. About five years ago he lost his right hand by the shot gun route but by use of an artificial arrangement manages quite well. He was for a short time newsboy on this branch of the Rock Island.

Miss Brabham has until recently been employed in the K. C. Hotel at Farmington. She is said to be the unfortunate young lady who was the victim of the "drugged beer" episode which caused something of a sensation in newspapers of this section lately.

Mr. Corns states that they expect to reside in Kansas City.
