SHENANDOAH, Aug. William
Bender, twenty-six years old, has
been spending the summer here with
Among the acquaintance
he has made is Miss Jennie Kinkle,
sixteen years old, daughter Of Sam
uel Kinkle, a wealthy citizen Of
this town. She and Bender have
been seen together at all the society
balls. Three weeks ago Bender
changed his affections from Miss
Kinkle to her younger sister,
Florence, but not before he bad
promised Jennie to marry her
Secret meetings were held by
Florence and Bender, till Thursday
last wh,n Jennie made known heI
troubles to her parents. Bender
was placed under 500 bail for his
at court.
Two days ago he managed to gel
an interview with Florence, aud
persuaded her to elope with him,
promising to take her to his relatives
in the West, who were wealthy.
Finally the girl consented, aud last
night, while the rest Of the famil,
were asleep, Florence arose and
joined her lover al the door lending
to the main street. They drove to
the railway station, where they
boarded the train for Shamokin,
and under assumed names were
married. The girls father traced
them to that town, and, in company
with constable, called al the house
at which they were stopping. Ben
der caught sight of the constable as
he entered the door, and fled to the
rear Of the building, where he
jumped out of window, and start
ed for the bills, with the father and
constable in hot pursuit. Several
times Kinkle drew his revolver
and would have fired at his daugh
ter's decelver, but each time he was
prevented from doing so by the con-
stable, After running several hun
dred yards the constable stopped,
and, drawing his revolver, called on
Bender to halt. This had the de-
sired effect, and the rogue surren
dered. He is now held at Potts
vile Jail to answer two serious
charges.
