The groom is the son of James McLean, living south of town near the county line, and has a number of friends in this county who will join the Pioneer in wishing the newlyweds a long prosperous and happy wedded life.

The marriage of Miss Alice H. Wilde and Professor Samuel J. McLean was solemnized at 6 o'clock last evening at the Carson City Indian Institute and was witnessed by about 50 members of the school and the friends of the bride and groom, the ceremony being performed by the Right Rev George C. Hunting, bishop of the diocese of Nevada.

Miss Wilde made a pretty picture in her gown of French net over whit silk and carrying an immense bouquet of white and pink roses, and was given into the keeping of the bridegroom by Superintendent Royce. The made of honor was Miss Nina Yater, who was beautifully gowned in pink crepe de chene and carried an immense cluster of pink roses. Mr. R.M. Tucker acted as best man and Miss Hornaday played the wedding march.

The ceremony was performed in the chapel at the institute and the interior was beautifully decorated with pink and white roses and the altar was a mass of these beautiful flowers. as was the residence of Superintendent Royce to where the party adjourned after the ceremony, where the pupils had. at their own expense, prepared an elaborate wedding supper. They also presented the new couple with a silver chafing dish.

At about eight o'clock the newlyweds left by auto for Reno and from there will go to southern California for a one month's honeymoon, and visit the relatives of the groom, from there they will go to Portland, Oregon for a visit with the parents of Miss Wilde.

Miss Wilde is a one-fourth Chippewa Indian and Mr. McLean is a one-half Sioux Indian. They met at the Haskell Institute at Lawrence, Kansas, where they were both enrolled as students. Miss Wilde has been holding the position of official stenographer at the Institute up to the time of her marriage.

Mr. McLean is a well known figure in Carson City, he holds the position of disciplinarian at the Institute and is a graduate of Carlisle, was a member of the famous Carlisle football team of 1907, which at the time ranked 3rd in the United States.
