    3. It's almost like my fingers are going & can't stop.. This article didn't have any family names from list that I'm familiar with but I still wanted to share it. (How times have changed). August 30, 1901 Settled It the Right Way A youthful couple at Sutter Creek were married the other day under peculiar circumstances. It was the old, old tale of the too-confiding nature of woman and the duplicity of man. The boy (for he is only 17), was arrested on the charge of seduction, on the complaint of the girl's mother, and taken before Justice Giles. The law provides that marriage is a bar to prosecution, and as the defendant agreed to marry the girl he had wronged, and his mother consented, a license was procured and the ceremony was performed. The girl was but 16 years old. William J. McGee appeared for the mother of the girl, Mrs. Chase. The names of the boy and girl in the case are Daniel Trudgeon and Dora Belle Steinkoenig.
