Dimon Brought His Prisoner Here But Did Not Prosecute.

Tom Dimon, of Gillam township, found; his erring daughter and her sweetheart, Mart Mansfield, at Scfilth Pend, and arrested them. He arrived in Rensselaer Tuesday afternoon and was prepared to prosecute Mansfield for kidnaping his daughter. The girl, however, said that she would stand by Mansfield and there seemed to be no, ■case against Mansfield. Friends of the father wanted him to let them get married but he "would not do it. Finally Dimon took his daughter and went back to Gillam township and Mansfield remained in town over night and the next morning appeared before Justice Irwin and made application for his release. As he was already free and no bond had been required the Justice told him that there was nothing to keep him from going and lie left feeling happy. The girl declares that she will go to him, and pa Dimon might as well relent now a 4 later on. < „ ' " -Hl* Hill! I ■■■ I .
