The -ceremony occurred in the open uir before 250 guests, who were all mounted. At the proper moment the happy couples appeared on galloping broncos, and with a great clatter of hoofs took their places in the center of the gathering. A justice of the peace was waiting for them, and before they had had time to take a good long breath apiece they were all married. The wedding gifts were numerous and elegant. Charley Meadows, brother of one of the brides, announced that each couple could have as many cattle as it could catch and brand before sundown, and the brides and grooms went merrily at it at once. They secured in all thirty-six cattle. |
