possession OF BKIDK!
Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 14.?A tug of
war for possession of a bride of only
a few minutes threw the congrega
tion in the Central Baptist church
here Into the wildest confusion lastj
night and caused a suspension of the
services.
The tussle was between the young
husband, George H. Coker,' on one
side and the two maiden sisters of
Mrs. Coker on the other. Mr. and
Mrs. Coker had eloped and been mar
ried by the pastor of Central church
in hla study shortly before the even
ing service began.
The bride and groom decided to
remain for the services. While the
minister was announcing his text the
two slaters of Mrs. Coker, having
learned of what was forward and
hoping to prevent the marriage ap
peared on the scene.
Declaring that Mr. Coker should
not marry their sister they pulled
her Into the aisle.
Mr. Coker also laid bold of his
wife and between them they created
considerable excitement. The com
batants were finally persuaded to
leave the church however, and when
they Jearned that he marriage had
already taken place they gave up the
fight.
