S. temple. . -' ' 1 But when she stepped off the Union Pacific train here she was ' met not only by Mr.,' Derbj-ihir, -who Is employed in the Salt Lake I City public safety department, but a group of city policemen intent on having fun. Giving Mr. Derbyshire barely a glimpse of his bride-to-be, the po- ' llcemen announced they were "kidnaping" him and whisked him away in "Black Maria. The smiling although somewhat bewildered Miss Dimler was then ' taken "into custody" by the group, until Patrolman Ralph C Watson came to her "rescue." -Officer Watson lifted the young lady on his three-wheeler motor- ' cycle and gave chase after the ' "kidnapers." He caught up with ; "Black Maria" at the police sta- -tlon. Miss Dimler and Mr. Derbyshire first met In Ireland in 1936, while both were serving L, D. S. church missions. ' |
