Shelter.
ST. HELENA, May 20th.- Last night
about o'clock II. w. Peddie of Napa
el0ped with Miss Ida Brooks, st. Helena
girl of seventeen summers. 1t seems that
the girl had received severe reprimand
for being in Peddie's company in the after
noon, and, becoming enraged, left her
home and came into the business portion
of the town, where she met the object of
her affection, and together they started on
foot for Napa. They travelled about nine
miles and passed the remainder of the
night in haystack. Awarrant was sworn
out charging Peddie with abduction, and a
Constable was sent after the couple. He
found them in Napa this morning and
brought them back to st. Helena, lodging
Peddie in Jail. The father of the girl went
to Napa this afternoon and procured a
license, and the pair will be married to-
night.

River Rising.
ORovILLE, May 20th-A sudden rise of
three feet occurred in the river here early
this morning, and large amount of heavy
log and drift wood came down for three
hours, when the water commenced to re-
cede and the drift became less. Il is sup
posed that the Round valley reservoir, sit
ated at the upper end of Indian valley,
Plumas county, has given way, causing
very high water at the head of the North
Fork of the Feather river. The reservoir
is 125 p,iles from this town. The effect of
its breaking will not be any greater than
the raise this morning.

Nine Bridges Gone.

here this morning was filed with drift
wood and large umbers. For week past
the water has been rising. 1t is supposed
that the timber has been washed out of
