CHASED BY THE FATHER.

An Irate HOosier Parent Unsuccessfully
Pursues Ais Eloping Daughter and Her
Lover
CRAWFoRDSvILLE, IND, December 16.
The small town of Mace, six miles
east of here, is in culver of excitement
over the elopement of the son and
daughter OF two prominent and wealthy
citizens. Everett Lynn, the 20-year-old
son of A. Lynn, has been calling on
pretty Miss Dora Morris, aged IS, and
taking her to parties, balls and sewing
societies, not TO speak Of church, ever
since they were quite young. Yester-
day afternoon young Lynn called on the
elder Morris and pleaded his cause with
all the passion and ardor of twenty
years, but he was met with stern
refusal and was ordered from the house.
Young Lynn lost no time, nor was he
in any way daunted, but going home,
he borrowed his fathers team and hired
the girls younger brother to sneak her
note and bring him an answer. He
waited patiently until 100 o'clock in
the morning, then proceeded to the
house, where his charmer had packed
her trunk in readiness for the fight.
After tying up the dog they lowered the
trunk and the fair damsel got down
with the aid Of ladder and started.
The elder Morris had been suspicious,
and was prepared to stop the elope-
ment, but his first intimation Of it was
when the boy came in crying and an
nounced his sisters departure.
Mr.. Morris got trace of them and the
chase began. They managed, how
ever, to evade him, and kept just out of
reach, while he threatened to shoot
both the daughter and lover. Finally
one OF his horses went lame aud the
clipping couple reached the depot just in
time to catch the train for Chicago.
Mr.. Morris took the next train In hot
pursuit, but the young couple are sup
posed to be safe in Wisconsin.

Neck short OF.
Meeting of the Board of Directors OF TN
Sandy New Era Pub. Co.

NIeeting of the Board of Directors OF the
Sandy New Era Pub. Co
The BOARD of Directors Of the Sandy
New Era Pub. Co. met yesterday AFTER
noon and transacted some very import
ant business. All the members were
present excepting Mr.. j. A. Sheppard.
After the meeting had adjourned our
"friend" Captain Enoch Baker, whom
we have always treated with the highest
regard, came rushing into the room out
of breath, and had the President OF the
Board call the meeting TO order again,
stating that he had some very serious
grievances to make. The Captain went
on to tell the members OF the Board
that we were throwing dirt at him,
and threatened to break our neck short
off at our shoulders if his name was
again mentioned In these columns, nn-
less he paid for the same. However,
we make no charge to the Captain for
this mention.
Before the Captain could finish his
''tale of woe" his 'war paint" had
raised to such a pitch that the Board
were compelled to call in Col. Tinsley
with his foot adj for our protection.
1t was real funny to hear the Captain
read the half dozen line local in last
weeks paper, which was the cause OF
all the grievances the Captain had to
make.
II the Ne,C Era should happen to fail
to make its appearance next week, our
readers will understand that the editors
neck has been broken. We thank God,
however, that we are yet alive and doing
well, and to-day placed the names of
eighteen new subscribers on our sub
scription list.

The examination Of University classes
at the close Of the fall term begins to-
day and will continue for one week,
ending with the term next Tuesday, De-
cember 30. As the boys complete their
examinations they will start for home
to spend the holidays. The work done
this term has been fully up to the best
record Of the institution. The attend
anoe is greater than ever before and
with the increased facilities and new
departments which are being added,
there Is every reason to believe
that the University is just
entering upon a new era of usefulness,
and citizens Of this State who are think
ing of sending their sons away from
home to school would do we'll to investl-
gate the merits of the University before
sending elsewhere. Young men who
did not enter the school at the begin
