Considerable excitement presented it.
self at the depot on Sunday afternoon
caused by the appearance of young
lady from the north, all besmeared with
mud and apparently very much fatigued.
She procured ticket for Rapid City and
made preparation to board the incoming
train. II appears the young lady was
running away from home to meet her
lover at Rapid City, and it is said she
walked from Whitewood to Blackhawk
in order to escape detection, intending
to take the train here for Rapid. Her
father had been notified that she had
been seen walking down the track and
taking the train at Whitewood watched
for her at every station and found her as
she was in the act of boarding the train
here. The establishment of the girl on
seeing her father can hardly be imagined.
Bursting into tears she acknowledged
her waywardnoes. The JOY Of the father at
finding his lost one cannot be expressed
in words. Both father and daughter
took the train for Rapid City. The par
ties were unknown here. Quite roman
tic, is it not?
LATER. Father and daughter walked
back from Rapid City Sunday evening to
Blackhawk. and continued their journey
home TO Whitewood Monday morning,
on foot. CHIP.
