William Dobbert, this city and Miss Rosa Peitsch, a Newton girl were married
at the Addison Hotel Monday night, the ceremony being performed by Judge Chloupek
at 9 o'clock in the presence of a small party of relatives. Mr. Dobbert and his
bride evaded friends who had planned to serenade them when they departed on a
honeymoon trip and by arranging to board the train at the roundhouse, in the
yards, escaped. The couple will be absent three days and will return to take up
their home at the hotel of which Mr. Dobbert is the proprietor. The marriage is
the outgrown of a romance of few weeks, it is said.
