The mewing of a cat over a Party telephone line in the village of Greenwich, Ohio. led to the discovery of a broken Into home.

Mrs. Waltei Barre took down the receiver oi her phone to make a cell and heard pussy's meows. She called another neighbor and to- gether they went to the nearby home of George MacMiilens.

The women found the MacMil- ltas away. They also discovered

and the family oat had meowed into it.

After a lot of strange but true mix-ups William Dennis and his ii of Hutchison. Kansas. fin- ally got the green light and were married.

The ceremony was scheduled for 3 mm. but Dennis iorgot to pick up the license. and the pro- bate Judge had to make a special

ip to court house after hours. The preacher who was to have married them and p. in. be- came ill and the assistant pastor had to take over the job. -

The bride's attendants failed to arrive In time to take in the pro- ceedings. The air conditioner in the church blew out the lighted candles, and one of the attend- ants had to relight them.

The prospective bridegroom couldn't find the wedding ring. the best man crawled through an ante-room window. ran around to the front of the church. and re- trieved the ring from the brides- maid so all in all. it was a bad start.
