The young lady is one of Medaryville’s most popuinr girls, and the family is one of the most respected in the county. The young fellow has been a foreman of the Samuel Robinson Oil Syndicate nenr Medaryville, and has a reputation for being pretty wild. MfTXbw has positively forbid den his daughter keeping company with him, and the courting was carried on snb rosa. The girl’s friends are greatly worked up over the affair, and the fellow would have been handled roughly had Medaryville people gotten their hands on him soon after the first reports of the flight were circulated. In fact at first the feeling was so higli some advised Mr. Low to arm himself as lie started on the search and to shoot the fellow on sight, but Mr. Low of course would not go to that extreme. Mr. Low followed the couple to South Bend, but arrived there just one hour after they had been married and departed for Chicago.
