noIncemeDt Is made today that AnIti
 Baldwin, daughter of the CalifornI
 millionaire Lucky" Baldwin, has el-
 oped with her second cousin, George w

 it is presumed they went north on q
 honeymoon, for they are married, hay
 ing been joined together in a cabin of
 the tug Elizabeth five miles outside of
 the heads on the morning of January
 9th. Five years ago George Baldwin,
 then a young man Of about twenty
 years came to this ely from Crawfords-
 val9, Mo. His father, ar uncle of Lucky i Baldwin O. this city, had consigned ths youth to the care of the proprietor of l the Baldwin hotel, and immsdlately | upon appearing here George WAS given | employment Tn the office Of .he hotel. | Two years ago t Is stated the fact | dawned upon the millionaire that tke affection that bound George and Anita
 was more than that which generally tied cousins together, and he made up his mind to keep them separated. Ac- cOrdiEgly Anita was sent Co Mills semi nary. However, early iD 1891 George proposed marriage and was accepted by
 Anita. The l8tleT knew her father
 would never consent to the marriage,
 but the prospective loss of an inber- l.ance did not trouble her. Affairs reach ed q ciImlx first Christians evening,
 when George Baldwin left hIs employ
 ment at the hotel. Auita was but l7 years of age and a marriage license could not be p poured, but 1t was agreei
 that the ceremony should take place,
 but far enough from shore to prevent interference of law, and George Bald
 win engaged the tug Elizabeth for the morning of Jan. ,. Millionaire Bald
 win was not Tn town at the time. Rev. Julius Fundeling of St. Marks German Evange ical Lutheran church performed the ceremony. he secret of the we'd ding hed zen well kept, and it would not yet beea known had not the hus band and wife become tired of living apart. After the wedding at sea she hoped to gain her fathers consent to prospective marriage with her cousin. She spoke Tn Ter own behalf and wrote long and atfectionate letters plea ling her cause, but the millionaire remained obdurate, and when last Thursday he started tO go to his ranch at Santa AnI ta the young couple resolved to elope and allow the secret of the marriage 10 become pablic. Friday and Saturday were spout in making arrangements for tEe tIiD north. Yesterday Mrs. Bald | win wrote letter to her father in which l she made confession and implored for | giveness for herself and husband. The | missive was mailed m the afternoon and | will be received by tNe millionaire at | Santa Anita tomorrow moruiug.

Tovrer involving land in Tucson | district, on application for repayment of | S2OO alleged to have been wrongfuhy | appropriated by one Smith, receiver of public moneys at Tucson, the secretary says the department Is only authorized to pay: First, when 1t appears that the tract of land has been enormously sold by the United States, and the sale can not be confirmed; second, where entries are cancelled for conflict; third, when from any cause entry has been errone- ously entered and cannot be confirmed" Fred w.
