SENSATIONAL ELopEmsnr.
The Oklahoma Country the Scene VI
the Romantic,

The public land strip has furnished
almost every kind Of sensation and now
has shooting ARRAY In which couple Of
clippers came out with flying Uolors. For
some timo past all the unmarried men In
tho lower part Of the public land strip have
been paying court to the good.loolins
daughter Of William Carson. but until het
charms attracted wealthy cattleman
named Royson, the parents would not
smile on tho suit Of any of the aspirants.
Ono who was especially Objectionable was
John Holland, who had nothing but his
good looks, winning ways and small wages
rs herder to keep wife on. Royson's
suit was fosterod by the old folks, but tho
girl did not like him Ind would not have
hihi around.
At last the matter became 30 hot that
young Holland WAS ordered OF and told TO
DO sure to keep out Of rifle range Of tho
house, for fear Of stray bullets. The con-
slant urging Of tho eattleman and the 90.
ercions Of the patei!ts made life burden
for the girl, and the lovers decided TO DO
wed by foul means, since fair ones would
not avail. The girl gave q reluctant con
sont to marry Royson, and all tho rrepar.
ations for a biz wedding were made Tho
day came and guests were invited from ali
parts Of the section. Just before the hour
set for the ceremony, Holland rode up
leading horse, upon whose back was
mans saddle. He was met with frowney
but rs the wedding was about' 70 bescY
emnizcd he was not disturbed
In tho bastle cohseduent Upon the
Preparations for the marriage, the girl
and Holland slipped away from the house,
the lady dressed in a mans suit OF
clothes and the two mounted their horses
and were galloping away before their
flight was discovered.
hot chase was inaugurated, und =
large party soon got on tho trail Of the flee.
ing pair. Both the girl and Holland were
heavily armed, and when the chase got too
hot they turned nhd began firing Into tho
advancing pursuers. The fusillade re-
suited in slightly wounding old man Car.
son and one OF the herders, and the kill.
ing OF the horse under Royson This
turn of affairs dampened the ardor Of the
pursuers, and the clippers came on 10 Buff
falc. where they were made man and wife,
anu are now awaiting parental pardon

Cold Weather for indians.

A special from Pine Ridge says:
Zorro weather and d driving storm Of cut
Ting sleet prevails here.
Tho troops are hugging the camp fires
while the Indians are freezing in their
gauze tepees Just outside OF the agency
precincts.
To-day Agent Roger will call in all the
Indians at the agency and give them big
feed at tho store house. Should the pres
ent storm continue, aud particularly
shoild there he u heavy fall ~ snow, the
ponies OF the Indians now here and whosb
hay has been stolen by the hostiles, viii

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Elaborate preparations have been
made for the banquet to be held this
evening at the Ryan hotel, and which
will bring the visit of the delegates to a
fitting close. Elegantly printed souven-
irs have been issued containing en-
cravings of many of the fine structures
of the city, together with the pro-
gramme of toaSJS. the menu of banquet
and descriL ton of the resources of
St. Paul. 1t is expected that fully 800
persons will sit down to the spread, and
the best resources of the Hotel Ryan
will be brought to bear on the prepare
ton of feast which shall pale the
glories of all past banquets in the his
tory of the association.
On Thursday morning those of the
delegates who decide to remain in st.
Paul over another day will be pil0ted in
a drive about the city by the members
of the local exchange. An inspection
of the local public buildings of the city
is among the diversions to be INDUCED in.
Tomorrow afternoon, in acceptance
of an invitation from the builders eX-
change of Minneapolis, the remaining
contingent will leave for Minneapolis,
where an elaborate programme has been
arranged for their entertainment, to
conclude with banquet at the West
hotel in the evening.
About thirty-five ladies, wives of the
delegates, left the Hotel Ryan yeSter-
day afternoon at 2 O'Clock, and were
driven in sleighs about the city, visiting
all principal points of interest. The
party expressed themselves as delighted
beyond expression with the beautiful
views TO be obtained from the heights of
st. Anthony, and regretted but one
oh nf i'm oil
which many had expected TO see.
j. w. Bennett, representing Lowell,
Mass, is one of the notables of the con-
vention. Having been at one time a
resident of st. Paul, he has many friends
here, and has been at no time since his
arrival at loss for diversion.
q. w. Boggs, the gentleman from
Wheeling, who came up TO make
speech, and is determined to make it
before the final adjournment, is not
typical Virginian, but is, nevertheless,
an able representative.
Thomas j. King is the bright partlcu-
lar star of the Washington delegation,
and has an authoritative mode of ex-
preston BETTING a citizen of the ma
tional capital.
Anthony Ittner, of the st. Louis dele
CATION, is looking after the representa-
ton of his section in way that should
commend him to the home exchange.
George c. Prussing, of Chicago, is
deep thinker and says he can see further
into the lien law matter than some of
the other delegates. At all events his
paper on the subject is an able docu-
ment and must command attention even
from his opponents.
d. Y. Purington does not say great
deal, but talks straight from the shout
der when he gets the floor.
Secretary Sayward has the most con-
vincing manner of speech of any speak
er who has been heard in the chamber
for some time.

Ex-Convict Marsh Takes a
Header Through a Plate
Glass Light.
The Leap for Liberty Was
Taken From the Munic-
ipal Court Room,
But the Daring Desperate
Was Captured After an
Exciting Chase.
He Is Held to the Grand Jury
for a Murderous Assault
on Thad Jones.

The criminal end of the police court
was a scene of excitement for few
moments yesterday morning. The usual
monotony of petty cases was enliyened
by an attempt of James Marsh to regain
liberty. The testimony of two servant
girls and Thad G. Jones fully estab-
lished his identity as the man who cut
Jones on Saturday night. Judge Burr
had just called Marsh up and was ex-
planning that he could waive examina-
ton if he desired, when the prisoner
suddenly sprang upon a radiator, thence
to a window and plunged headloug
through one of the plate glass windows.
He was closely followed by Walter
Saussay, and ran down the alley and
through the rear of the Union block,
coming out of the wood yard entrance
on Fourth street, near Minnesota. 1t
took the police moment or more to re-
cover from the surprise of the bold
break for liberty. Sergeant Jerry
Sullivan ran down Fourth street and
caught Marsh just as he emerged from
the wood yard. He was returned to the
court room, and held in the sum Of
$4,000 to the grand Jury. On
the way from the central
station to the court room, Marsh, who is
powerful young fellow. tore the bars
from one of the windows of the Black
Maria III an effort to get out. The
excitement incidental to Marsh'S break
caused MIR. Jones to faint and this
caused an increased sensation in the
court. He soon recovered and was re-
moved from the room
