KISSES THROUGH A HOLE.
The Interesting Games of Old
Maid That Preceded an Elope-
ment In Pittsburg.


ment In Pittsburg.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Officer Charles Reed and Smooth
raced young man who was under arrest
came into Inspector McAleese's office
yesterday. The arrest brought to light
very peculiar story:
The prisoner was Larimer Kleinfelter.
OF Allegheny, and tn individual at
whose request Kleinfelter was gathered
IN gives the name of John Bucannon.
He is fireman at Schoenberger' and
few months ago married a Steuben-
Vile girl named Edie Wilhers, who is
| about sixteen years Old The married
couple took up their residence at 157
River avenue. Next to them lived
young Kleinfelter, with his mother, and
the affection that sprung up betwe en-
nm and Mrs. BucannOn and their sub
sequent elopement, if it may be so
called, to his sisters house on Beaver
avenue, led to the making of a serious
charge yesterday against Kleinfelter bv
Mr.. BucannOn before Mayor Pearson.
kleinfelter told his story, and as he
recited portions of it would turn to
BucannOn and say, Isn't that so,
JOhn?"
Kleinfelter's story was to the effect
non, he became acquainted with the
young bride, who. in the absence of her
husband, who was at work most of the
time at night, would invite him over to
play cards. This platOnic amusement
at last grew mOnotOnouS. 1t was agreed
finally that they would play "Old
Maid" the forfeit to be kiss, so that
whoever lost the game could share in
the forfeit. This order of business did
not continue very long until the couple
discovered that they were deeply in
love with each other.
In the rear of the house the lots were
separated by high board fence. In
these yards the young couple would 90
and whisper through a convenient knot
hole, through which they would fire.
quently square up the fOrfeits lost at
"Old Maid"
To the question, asked by Inspector
McAleese, as to whether they did not
use boxes and kiss over the fence. the
youth replied;
mo, we always used the knot hole.''
kleinfelter's mother was the first to
discover the intimacy which existed be-
tween her son and Bucannon's wife.
She took the young man to task. and
told him that short trip would be of
benefit to him, and that his attentions
to Mrs. BucannOn must cease. If this
was not done she would be under the
necessity of informing the husband OF
what had been going on. The young
man did not relish this information, and
confided to his inamOrata the alternative
that awaited him. She declared that if
he went away she would leave with
him.
Then and there it was decided to
elope, which they did. going no further
than 215 Beaver avenue, to the home of
Mrs. Christy, sister of Kleinfelter.
Here they stayed four days, when Mrs.
Christy moved to Ninth street, this
city. The new home was not as pleas
ant as they desired and they concluded
to act the part of the prodigal son and
daughter and return to their re-
spective homes. In the mean
time Bucannon had made the in
formation before Mayor Pearson and
the arrest was made.
Kleinfelter was still in the Allegheny
lookup last night. He did not seem
anXiouf to secure bail and will have a
hearing to-day.

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
Reunited After Half Il Century of
Adventures

The reunion after fifty years of George
Ryerson. perhaps the oldest pioneer in
America, and his daughter, Mrs. c. c.
Shurter, of Newburg, n. Y, is one of
those events which are not often met
with outside of story books. Mr.. Ryer-
son left his family in 1885. while living
in New Jersey. and went to Florida,
where he was reported killed in bat
tie with the SeminoleS. He returned,
however, only to find that his family
the far West and was lost sight of. The
son went West during the gold fever,
and, as in time his letters ceased, the
mother and daughter also mourned him
as dead. Soon afterWard the mother
died and the daughter married.
Many years passed and the daugh-
ter, Clara, now midde-aged
woman. read an item in paper about
Martin Ryerson, Chicago millionaire.
Knowing that her father had brother
by that name, she wrote to him and eS-
tablished his identity as her uncle.
Shortly afterward Martin Ryerson,
heard of Gov. Ryerson, of Lower Cali
fornia. He visited the governor and
found the long lost nephew. Gov. Ry-
erson on hearing that his sister was
still living made an effort to
find her, but she had in the
meantime moved. During these
years the elder RyersOn still
lived. After wandering through the
mining camps of California Arizona and
Nevada he finally settled down in Ne
vada, where he lived a hermit sort of
life. Several years ago he found, in
an old newspaper, an item about Gov.
George RyerSOn, of Lower California.
Like his brother, he visited the gov
ernor and found his son. When he
learned that his daughter still lived he
came east and spent some time vainly
searching for her. He finally returned
to Chicago to live with his brother. The
daughter during these years had been
living on a small farm just west of
Newberg, n. Y. A short time ago
Martin Ryerson died, and paragraph
in Newburg paper setting forth his
public bequestS fell into Mrs. Shutters
hands. She at once wrote to her cousin,
who Informed her that her father had
been found. This was April 4. The
next day she set out for Chicago, where
family reunion took place, and the old
man returned last week with his daugh-
ter to her Newburg home. Mr.. Ryer7g
son has had an interesting career. He
crossed the plains with Kit Carsen,
rOughed it with John Marshall, the dis
cover of gold in the Sacramento valley,
and worked claim with John A Crab
tree, father of the actress, Lolita.
