AN ELOPEMENT.
Young Gill Steals 1000 from Her
Father, and IGiopes with her Lover


They are Arrested.
From the Toledo Commercial, 10th.
On Monday last, officer Mahon received
dispatch from Laporte, Indiana, request
ing him to take possession of trunk, which
was checked with certain number, and
to detain the parties claiming it, who, it
was expected, would arrive in this city on
the evening of that day. The officer was
on the alert, although he knew nothing of
the nature of the case. Nothing was dis
covered that night, but the next day, Tues
day, the persons and property described
made their appearance.
1t seems that girl about sixteen years of
age, daughter of ry respectable parents,
residing in La Porte, Ind, became at
tached to young gent of that place, but
her parents would not permit her to marry
him. On Monday morning last she took
81, 900 Of her fathers money, and in COM
pany with her lover left for Toledo. They
stopped at some place between this city
and La Porte Monday night, where the girl
purchased several silk dress patterns and
other goods for herself, and suit of
clothes for her suitor. On arriving in this
city, the truants went to the Oliver House,
where they registered as man and wife,
but the girls uncle and Barney Mahon
soon made their appearance and the two
were taken back to Indiana to be dealt
with as may seem best by the aggrieved
parties.
The two had not been married, and did
not seem to be in any hurry to have the
ceremony performed. During the two
days which they had spent in travelling
to this city, they had managed to get rid
of about $400 OF the 81, 900 taken from the
old gentleman.
