AMY HUBBARD.
An Eureka Lass Of Is Elopes With II
Boy of is in Oakland, Cal.

The San Francisco Examiner of the 24th
instant tells Of an elopement that occurred
in Oakland during the Friday night previous
Of aIsyear old girl, who lived in Eureka
until a few years ago, with boy who had
lust turned his 18th year. The girl is Amy
Hubbard, daughter by the first wife Of c.
G. Hubbard, an attorney of Eureka. She is
said to be an unusually attractive girl. The
boy is Rich'd Seymour,a son ofvery respecta.
BILE people For quite while Amy has lived
with her grandmother in Oakland, and the
miss was member of the First Methodist
Church Of that city and the Sunday school
in connection Herewith. 1t was at this Sun
day school that she met her fate in the per
son Of young Seymour, who was wild and
reckless. This was about year ago. An
attempt was made by the boys parents and
relatives to have him join the church, and
Amy worked assiduously for the end. This
is where the mistake occurred. In convert
ing the cratic Dick Amy fell in love with
him. The affection was, it seems, recipro-
Gated, the youthful lovers keeping well their
secret, and it was not until four months
ago that it dawned upon the friends, and
especially Amy's grandmother, that any
thing was wrong Then Mrs. Smiley the
grandmother, attempted to break the attach
ment, but it was without avail. The lady
little imagined that the young couple would
elope, and it was only on the Friday night
mentioned that she learned positively that
she had been deceived.
On the evening in question there was a So
cial given in the Sunday school rooms OF the
Methodist Church, and Amy, in company
with her grandmother, attended. Dick was
also present, and about $3.50 o'clock Amy
and Dick were missed. Search failed to dis
close their Whereabouts, and when, shout an
hour later. Mrs. Smiley returned to her
home, she discovered that her granddaughter
had run away. The girl and her lover had
evidently planned for the eloPement, because
a yalise and Amy's best clothes were miss
my, anu IIOlC llOIli tllC ulNSA S''i was
left behind saying she had left her grand
mothers roof forever Nothing was done
that night, but 1he next day thorough
search was made in Oakland lodging houses.
This was without avail, and the only intelli-
gence OF the whereabouts Of the truants was
that they were seen on Broadway Oakland,
early on Saturday afternoon. Since that
sine nothing has been learned Of them. The
grandmother, hoping against hope, sought
the office Of the County Clerk in Oakland
10 see if a marriage license had been issued
for Dick and Amy. The record failed TO
show anything of the kind, and the Smileys,
through the efforts of the detectives, are en-
deavoring to find the couple and have them
married in due form.
II is surmised that the young runaways
age in hiding in San Francisco, where Amy
is well known in some circles. A couple of
years aga she was a pupil at the North Cos
mopolitan Grammar School where she was
alike the pet Of the teachers and fayorite
with the scholars. She was at the same time
an attendant at the Green street Congrega-
tional Sunday school where she was also
favorite. She was very wei matured for her
age, and was made much OF in public exhi
