Ballard-Bierce
A wedding of considerable interest took place Thursday evening, when Miss Helen Ray Bierce, daughter of Ambrose Bierce, the well-known writer and satirist, was united in marriage to Samuel Judson Ballard.
The ceremony, which took place at the home of the bride's mother, 1032 South Flgueroa street, was performed by the Rev. J. J. Wilkins of St. Paul's Episcopal church. Only the immediate relatives were present.
The bride was attired in dainty white India mull, and carried a cluster of white carnations. Bright blossoms and dainty ferns in tasteful arrangement decorated the house. The young couple, upon their return from an extended wedding journey, will receive their many friends after September 1 at 1032 South Figueroa street.

HELD CAPTIVE BY SNOW AT A MINE NEAR INDEX
Daughter of Ambrose Bierce Awaits
Coming of Husband to Effect Her Rescue
(SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL)
RENO, Nev. Jan. 12.— Far from any habitation and hemmed in by barriers of snow averaging 10 feet in depth, Mrs. Harry Cowden, formerly Miss Helen Ballard Bierce, daughter of Ambrose Bierce is held an unwilling prisoner at the Index mine near Index, Cal. Her husband passed through Gardnerville yesterday on his way to rescue her. It was imperative that he go at once, and he made the journey from the railroad to the mine on snowshoes.
It will be impossible for Mrs. Cowden to leave her, prison until aid arrives, but she is not in danger of suffering, as an ample supply of food and fuel will be taken to the camp. She formerly lived at Carson and is well known here.
