Matrimonial

Matt. M. Gillespie, of Bodie, and Miss Christine Finlayson, of Reno, were united in matrimony last Wednesday evening at the residence of the bride's mother at Reno. Matt. is brother to John Gillespie, formerly of Eureka, and Adam Gillespie, formerly of Gold Hill. All three brothers are now residents of Bodie, and all three are of exactly the same hight, six feet seven inches, or seven feet six inches, we forget which, but anyhow they are very tall, individually and collectively. Matt. carried the Gold Hill News for a while, then he went to Bodie and carried the Free Press, his long legs and big feet eminently fitting him for the business in a deep snow country. By degrees he became a stationery merchant, mining speculator and capitalist and, no doubt, he feel richer than ever since Wednesday evening. He is a real good man, as well as substantial citizen, and has as many friends as anybody to wish him and his newly found partner all the happiness and prosperity they may ever desire.
