The Strategem by Which He Sc
cunred a Bride When q Young
Lieutena Mt.
The first marriage Of Jefferson Davis
was OF a somewhat romantic character.
After graduating at West Point he was
ordered to Fort Crawford at Prairie du
Chen, Wis, the post then commanded
by Col. Zachary Taylor. The
daughter of the latter, Miss Sallie
Knox Taylor, at once fell desperately
in love with the handsome and intel
lectual young lieutenant, ana the az
lection was reciprocatsd, Tut the ole
Colonel was averse to any match
making under the circumstances and
peremptorily forbade Davis from visit
ing his quarters except in an official
capacity. The lovers managed to see
each other by strategem, however, and
one morning at daylight they were
missing. The household was instantly
aroused, the servants Intercepted and
search made, but nothing was elected
save that the door OF the stable was
open, four horses were gone, and their
tracks indicated a hasty departure.
Further examination OF the premises
showed that Lieut. George Wilson.
brother Of Thomas S. Wilson, of Du.
buque, Ia, and Miss Street. daughter
OF Gen. Street, had likewise suddenly
disappeared. There was but one con-
clusion, and in less than an hour every
man, woman and child in the village
knew all about the runaway m atch.
Col. Taylor was enraged and declar'
ed with an oath as strong as he evel
used, that under no circumstances
would he forgive Davis or become
reconciled to his daughters disobedi
ence. Sixteen years passed "Olt
