ROCHESTER,, Minn., April S.-A SEN
sati0nal elopement is reported from the
village Of Oronoco, ten miles north Of
here. Last Thursday morning at about
o'clock we'll appearing young couple
came to Clark's hotel in OrOnoco and
applied for lodging, saying they were
man and wife. Their team was reeking
with sweat and the buggy plastered
with mud, showing that they had been
driving fast and long. The landlord,
having his suspicious aroused, pressed
them closely with questions; and they,
realizing that they were suspected. and
becoming sensible of the folly of the
course they were pursuing, told him
that they were clipping; that they in
themselves as they did, but the
lateness of the hour prevented
them from obtaining the serv-
Ices of minister. and that
it seemed to them that there was no
other way of obtaining shelter until
marring without arousing surprise,
which was something they wished to
avoid. They said if a minister could
be obtained they wished to be married
at once, for they feared that pursuers
were on their track. Although it was
the unseemly hour Of $3.50 o'clock in the
morning. Mr.. Clark at last yielded to
the fearful entreaties of the girl and
the solicitations of the young man, and
conducted them across the river to the
residence of the justice Of the peace,
V. Riefsuider. They swOre that they
were of age, and. the young man being

saw no reason why he should not marry
Sunday and went directly to Chicago
yesterday morning. The groom's
name is William Poole. He is a resi-
dent of Wabasha county, about twenty
two years old, and has somewhat check
cred and shady record. He shot one
Strickland in WabaSha county three
years ago, for which he has been doing
time at Saltwater penitentiary, and was
only released about two weeks ago.
The BRIDES maiden name was Anna
May Wyatt. She is eighteen years old,
and is prepoSSessing young woman.
Up to the time of her elopement she
lived with her parents in Wobasha
county, who are very nice people, her
father being well-to-do farmer. The
engagement of the young couple ante

water, and the girls relatives having
fears. which the subsequent develop
ments prove to have been fully war
ranted. had taken great pains to pre-
vent her from meeting Poole OH his re-
turn from the penitentiary. But the
vigilance of dissenting friends and rel
atives was no match for the scheming
and artifces of determined and loving
couple. Poole went to Wabasha Satur-
urday afternoon and took out license.
and the flight was made about 9 o'clock
that night from card party which the
two we're attending at neighbours
house. They drove twenty miles through
the mud to Oronoco, arriving there at
a. m. Sunday. The brides father is
very much grieved and incensed, and
those who know him say it will not be
well for the young man to appear in
his presence for some time to come.
