WEDDING REPORT. LOCKE — INGLIS. Had there been church bells in Boyup Brook on June 13, their tongues would have run red hot in ringing out the joyful tidings of the wedding of Mr. Allan Locke, of Pilbara, to Miss Jessie Inglis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Inglis, of "Bondfield." The ceremony took place in the picturesque little church at 5 p.m., there being hardly enough room therein to hold the crowd who attended. . . .
