  	From the LA Herald newspaper of the time: LOUIS MESMER MARRIED. THE MILLIONAIRE MAKES MRS. SWAN HIS BRIDE. The Couple Quietly Make Their Way to San Diego and Are Wedded and then go to San Francisco on a Honeymoon Trip. A local sensation waa created yesterday by a rumor that Mr. Louis Mesmer, the millionaire capitalist, had quietly married a charming Los Angeles woman. That statement was made last evening by Constable Richardson, a relative of the bride. The lady who now bears the name of Mr. Mesmer and will share in his happiness was formerly Mrs. Jennie E. Swan of Martin Street. She is an exceedingly handsome woman, of fine figure and most prepossessing manners. She is about 35 years of age, but looks younger. It is said that Mr. Mesmer is upwards of 61 years old, but he is hearty and active as a man of 40. The story is given to a Herald reporter Iast evening, is substantially as follows: For the last six months the relatives of Mrs. Swan have expected a consummation of Mr. Mesmer's apparent hopes, for it was no longer a secret to them that he was deeply enamoured with the lady. Last Saturday Mr. Mesmer left the city, ostensibly for San Francisco. He went there finally, and with him went a charming bride. He first visited San Diego, where he and Mrs. Swan were married. It is not definitely known what day the lady met the gentleman in the city of bay 'n' climate, but it is asserted they were married Monday by a Catholic priest. They then proceeded to San Francisco on a honeymoon trip. Mr. Tony Mesmer, a son of the newly married gentleman, was seen last evening and asked regarding the marriage. He said he knew nothing of it beyond the rumors He had heard. He admitted, however, that he had interviewed the conductor of the train on which his father went to San Diego, asking him if the lady was with him. The conductor informed him that Mr. Mesmer went to San Diego, "All by his lonesome." He is not in that condition now, however, for he has the undeniable pleasure of being in the charming presence of one of Los Angeles' handsomest women.
