ELOPED WITH BARBER.
Quite a little sensation was produced
had occurred Sunday evening. BY noon
all the facts were known, which are as fol-
lows: Sunday evening Miss Mary Neker-
son. whose mother keeps millinery store
on Walnut street, went out walking with
several other young ladies. She did not
return, which occasioned no alarm, as it
was supposed she had remained with one
Of the young ladies, as quite a rain storm
came up soon after they had left. AS she
did not return Monday morning, they
made some inquiries, when it was learned
she had left on the $3.50 express for Fort
Scott with George Anderson, barber,
working for Fred. Reed, in the Talmage
house barber shop. Mr.. Nickerson, the
young lady's father, business manager in
the lumber firm of X. J. Hurley Il Co, of
this place, learned of the fact by noon, and
Immediately telegraphed 10 the city mar
shall at Fort Scott TO apprehend the couple,
arrest them, and if possible present the
marriage. An answer was soon
received that they were mar
ried and had left on the
noon train for Rich Hill. They arrived
here last night on the III express, but did
not GO to the young lady's home The at
fair is greatly deplored by the family and
1t is not known yet what action will be
taken by them.
