Mitchell, S.D. — Cupid and woman suffrage have apparently formed a corporation here. Miss Marie Gipper, twenty-two years old, strode into the offices of the Clerk of Courts of Davison county one morning recently and planked a dollar on the desk to pay for the first marriage license that has ever been bought in this county by a woman. After she had procured the license, she went out and found the municipal judge.While obtaining the license Miss Gipper explained that her husband-to-be was “too busy to get the license.” The apparent object of the purchase was inscribed on the clerk’s record as Ray Poyer, also of Mitchell.
