"HE WON WOMAN HE LOVED BEST.
MILLIONAIRE MINE OWNER HURRIEDLY MARRIED IN OAKLAND.
Last night at about ten o'clock, James Frederick Burslem, a millionaire mine owner of South Africa, procured a license to marry Mrs. Anita K. Glassell, the divorced wife of Hugh Glassell, a director of the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank of Los Angeles.
As soon as Burslem had procured the license from the County Clerk, he engaged the services of Rev. John Rich of the First Presbyterian Church, and the ceremony was performed in one of the leading hotels of this city.
This marriage is the result of a courtship which commenced years ago when the two were children. However, it was not destined that they should take life's burden together in the earlier years of their life, as each of them chose another partner, from whom they were finally separated to resume that courtship in this city. The courtship, however, did not occupy much time, for only one day elapsed between the time of their meeting and the marriage.
The witnesses to the marriage were Miss Nora Mallory, sister of the bride [sic-no relation], and Deputy Clerk Baker.
After the ceremony, Burslem said, "I have wanted this girl and now I have her. Now, we will go back to Los Angeles and face them all. What if it is an elopement? After a visit in Los Angeles we will go to St. Louis and from there to New York, and then back to San Francisco. That will be our honeymoon."

"SPENDS $100 A DAY ON LIQUOR; STINTS WIFE
James F. Burslem Charged with Being Cruel and Penurious
GENEROUS TO SELF
Limits His Mate's Expenditures to 25 Cents at a Time
While spending about $100 a day for drink, James Frederick Burslem would upbraid his wife, Anita May Burslem, if she spent small sums on necessities, according to her divorce complaint filed yesterday. She accuses him of being penurious--so much so that she had orders from him not to buy more than 25 cents worth of anything without first consulting him. It was in Placerville that he recklessly squandered $100 a day on drink. Mrs. Burslem alleges that he was frequently intoxicated. At Shingle Springs, in El Dorado county, he ignored her in company, refusing to answer her questions. He was always losing his hat, glasses or other articles and Mrs. Burslem says she was kept busy a great part of her time looking for them.
They were married in Alameda county in July, 1904. More than a year ago he deserted her, according to the complaint. He is said to be either in Alaska or Washington state."
