HURLBURT WINS A BRIDE FORMER OKLAHOMAN BALL PLAYER MAKES THE "CATCH" OF HIS LIFE. BRIDE IS MISS HAZEL MULVANE Daughter of a Prominent Topeka Physician and Related to a Noted Kansas Politician. George (Speck) Hurlburt, last year the star center fielder of the Oklahoma City baseball team, and who this year has been playing a similar position with Dick Cooley's Topeka team, was married to Miss Hazel Mulvane, only daughter of Dr. J.G, Mulvane, a prominent Topeka physician, Monday noon. The bride is a cousin of John R. Mulvane, a well-known Kansas banker, and a second cousin of David R. Mulvane, the Kansas politician. Concerning the marriage, the Topeka State Journal says: "The elopement has caused the greatest surprise among the wide circle of Miss Mulvane's friends in this city which has been her home since her birth. She is barely twenty years of age, while the groom is said to be fourteen years her senior, and is scarcely known in the city excepting as a professional ball player. Hurlburt gave his age on the marriage license as 29." "Miss Mulvane is one of the oldest and best known families in Kansas and was born in Topeka, her father having been a practitioner in the city for the past 25 years. She has had all the advantages that found and indulgent parents could bestow upon a girl, her carriages and riding horses having been the envy of many a less fortunate daughter." "Just before noon today Miss Mulvane and her mother drove down town to do some shopping and Hazel asked and was granted permission to take Miss Jennette Wolcott, one of her North Topeka girl friends, home. The carriage was returned to the store where her mother was trading and a few moments later a messenger arrived with a note from Hazel informing her mother that she had married Hurlburt and that the two were on their way to Kansas City. "In addition to being a professional ball player, 'Speck' Hurlburt's name appears in the telephone directory as proprietor of a 'club' at 410 Kansas avenue. He is said to be associated with his brother Wayne Hurlburt in this enterprise, and it is the popular resort for the baseball players and the sporting fraternity generally. "Miss Mulvane has been an almost constant attendant at the ball games in which Hurlburt has taken part and she has even visited in other cities where the team was playing though none of this has reached the ears of her parents. "Dr. Mulvane heard of the marriage of his daughter several hours after the ceremony was over. He was dumfounded but said that there is nothing to do, except to forgive and forget. "Mrs. Mulvan was prostrated by the news. She declined to admit visitors and would not say anything about the marriage. "Hurlburt's connection with Topeka dates back about two years. He came to Topeka in August, 1904, when he joined the local ball team. He came to Topeka from the Northern league where he had played with several teams in that circuit. Last season he played all year with the Oklahoma City team and let the Western association in batting. He is an old timer and has players in the league and will be good many years. He is probably at the present time one of the most finished players in the league and will be good for the game for several years to come. (09/20/1906) A simple wedding with all the charm of a quiet home affair was celebrated yesterday at high noon at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A.G. McFeely, 1116 North Hudson street, when their daughter, Frances, married to Mr. Edwin B. Sutton of this city. Dr. H.B. Urch, pastor of the First Methodist church, read the marriage service in the parlor, which was decorated with roses and carnations in a color scheme of pink. The bride wore a girlish gown of white net over taffeta and carried white roses. There were no attendants. After the service the guests were ushered into the dining room and seated for a wedding breakfast. The dining room decoration was in yellow tones, with yellow shaded lights, and a big cut glass bowl of yellow roses in the center of the table. Tall yellow cannas stood on the sideboard and china closet. The place cards were especially pretty and appropriate, being a gift from Miss Myrtle Owen, and done by her with pen and ink sketches of cupids and hearts. In the large reception hall, which is toned in read, the effect was heightened with crimson cannas, and contrasting sheaves of green leaves. Here the wedding gifts, sent by friends of the bride and showered upon her at the many pre-nuptial affairs, were displayed, and made a glittering array. The bride and groom dispensed with the usual wedding trip and took immediate possession of the handsome new home, completely furnished, at 618 West Eleventh street, which was the groom's gift to his bride. Both young people are well and favorably known, the groom being the one of one of the oldest and best families in the city and connected with the Pioneer Telephone company. The bride is one of the prettiest and most charming girls in society, and is a graduate of the Virginia Graves School for Girls. The wedding guests were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Sutton, parents of the groom; Mr. Mont Sutton, his brother; Mr. Samuel McFeely, the bride's brother; Rev. Urch and his sister, Miss Urch; Miss Mamie Goodman of Tonkawa, and Mr. Walter Knelsley of Norman, besides the bride's parents. (09/20/1906) WEDDING PERMITS. Clyde S.
