Shreveport, La., February 26--
"On arrival of the train from the west yesterday evening, Justice Cole D. Hicks, in the reception room of the Tilly Hotel, married Mr. Henry Tune and Miss Etta Spencer, of Waxahachie, Texas. On inquiry it was learned that the bride is the daughter of Mr. J. W. Spencer, a well known stock man and land owner near Waxahachie, and the groom is a thrifty young farmer in the same locality. Opposition on the part of the old folks caused the young couple to run away and join hands for life on Louisiana soil. They will return home in a short time, when the usual forgiveness will no doubt follow."
