USES TELEPHONE TO . STOP ELOPEMENT

Paur's Dash of Twenty Miles Is Futile.

Selingsgrove, Pa., Dec. 26. Driving twenty miles in a sleigh at breakneck speed, to outwit a pursuing father, Miss Lottie Gable and Jay Wendt, both of Freemont, this county, were frustrated here late tonight in their attempt to elope. Ministers here would not wed them because both are minors. They decided to take a trolley car to Sunbury, with the hope of having the ceremony solemnized there, but in their haste they had not supplied themselves with money. They were about to sell the horse when a telephone message from the pursuer to a constable led to their detention here. The father was outdistanced, but his clever idea of using the telephone, when five miles behind the runaways, stopped the elopement.

HOW INDIAN TRAPS -

THEWKWALLA Elusive Reptile Considered a ; Toothsome Dainty.

. Los Angeles, CaL. Dec 26. The chuckwalla is an interesting and elusive denizen of Southern California's great desert, where he has admirers who covet him with mouth watering ardor. According to George Wharton James, the chuckwalla is as alluring to desert Indians' as a yellow-legged chicken to a circuit riding Methodist parson. - The chuck walla's method of escape is to crawl Into a crevice eo narrow that it seems impossible to get him out. But the Indian Is too clever for him. He takes a piece of strong wire or a bent twig, and, poking it into the crevice .he taps the chuckwalla on the end

of the nose. In a moment the angered reptile exhales a kind of hiss, the noise . being made by a rapid expulsion of the i breath. Ae he thus exhales he loses his hold on the rocks ana la a moment the Indian pulls on his tail. As speedily as a flash of lightning

the chuckwalla inhales again, and tightens himself in Ms recess. Another tap on his nose and then exhalation; another pull, another exhalation so it goee-untll at-last the Indian secures hi pfiae.
