IAtchison Champion. 1871
Our readers Will remember q little item that
was published in the Champion yesterday
Of young lady, the neice OF Mrs. Bags, OF
Port William, a few nights ago. II Will be
that the neice and aunt came
to Atchison day before yesterday, the latter
to secure a warrant for the arrest Of the four
young men " no, it Is claimed, attempted the
abduction. II now seems that after they had
started for Atchison one of the young men
who, IL Is now ascertained, was sutton for
the young ladys hand, jumped on the up
ward bound train and also came 10 Atchison.
IL also appears that the young mans suit
found favor In the eyes Of the maiden, but vas
bitterly opposed by the aunt. While In Atchi-
son he endeayoIed to Sst Pos s, OF the
Than equal TO him, and they had started
homeward without opportunity Of commu-
nicating with his sweetheart. In the evening
[hey started home again in . wagon. When
about three miles from home the young
man, with two of his companions, who had
secured an express wagon, met them, and
youth signaled his sweetheart To jump from
her aunt's vehicle, which she unhesitnfiugly
lid, and he was at her side in . moment, as
ytsting her into his own vehicle II was but
! minutes work, and before the outwitted
lunt could recover presence Of mind they
Were on their way TO Afchison. the horses UNI
Ter full gallop. Arriving ~ the bridge the
Ieam was abandoned, and they started for
NiaBouri, and were finally married there be-
ore the moon had risen.
