 | WiNsLow, Arizona, October [ l-In the little Mormon settlement o Sunset, one mile north of Winslow there lives Mir. Penrod and his fami ly. Among his children is daughter named Anne, bright, attractive ant handsome girl of eighteen summers i therefore tt k needless to say that sh. has had many admirers among the young men we reside in Winslow and surrounding country. Old man Fen. rod is rather a shiftlcss character ant for yeas past hes ne9lectat to proper Iy provide for his family, consequent, Annie deserted the parentsl roof and sought employment among the Cen tiles in the town of winslow, where she became acquainted sith Mir. Mik. Mason,. a sterling good fellow. Ike, as he is familiarity known, laid siegs to the fair .tnnic's heart with success and they became promised man and wife, but hnrie's tamily, including father, mother, big hothers, sisters, co.sins and aun,s, al! determinedly opposed the match, and succeeded in getting her back to the Mormon set. clement in Sunset.
 On Saturday last Ike was employed to take Judge Spaford, of Flagstaff, out 10 inspec, some property thirt, miles nolth of Winslow, aud during his absence a plan was laid by Miss penrod's family and some of their Mormon friends 10 sSduct her and carry h:r away st nlsh;, with the in tcntion of transporting her to Utah Annie discovered their intentions and managed to secrelc small parcel of clothing and pa, i, through ~indo~ in;o the house of Ms Jacobba. the wife of Gentile living in ih. Mor- mon settlement. The young girl quietly watched the preparations of the wagon, it's bed ding, and the ropes by which she WIS to be bound like a telon, and when the opportunity of iered, made dash for Mir. Jacobba' $ and asked his pro,-ction, which vas promptly given. She was sheltered and the house bariicaded against the enraged hiormons, ~ho procured arms and prepared to storm castle Jacobba and obtain poss .ssIon of the girl. While all this was going on Ike Ma. son had returned one day sooner than was expected. He left Judge Spaford a, the barber s',op in Winslou to brush oh the dust of travel, hnd hied hitn sS'ay towards Sunset to See bls lady love. On his way over he met a .risaj Sho iDfo:mcd hin of the si-udlioa of affairs. l. dsd not take loas for Ike to determine that he ecuiG res;ce his promised bride. New, the Norrhon settlements on the Little Colofsao river are built in the form oi a court or square, and are known generally as forts. Ike whipped up his ,eSm and dashed into the fort with his blackboard rather unexpected ly, while the besieging party were taking 1t easy, thinking the Jacobba fort would succumb before nightfAll. As soon as Ike appeared before the Jacobba residence Miss Annie and Mrs. jacobba Comprehending the si,- uat,on ran out of the house and jumped into vehicle. Immediately the mother-in-law.to-be, the blg brothers and number of the faithful made charge on the blackboard con- taining the trio, but Ike succeeded in them, driving over some and eludlng the whole gang, and as they dashed away toward Winslow Mir. Jacobba took a stand outside the fort and held the Normons at bay un- til the p'ucky Ike and the ladies were in a place of safety.
 At WlnsIo~ they found the Judge who, being informed of the situation of affairs, and upon receiving satisfac- tory answers as to the age of the con. lractlng parties, promptly made them man and wife.
 The friends of the young couple gave them an impromptu serenade and Mr. and Mrs. Coleman gave the wedding party an excellen, dinner.
