SAN FRANclseo. March 21.-It leaked out to-
day that Anita. tho only daughter Of Million
aire Lucky Baldwin. had eloped with her
cousin and married him on tug Just outside
OF tho Golden Gate. What makes this elope-
ment noteworthy is that the girl was heiress
to $lO.0OO.OOO. II she had not married young
George W. Baldwin. whom the old man de-
tests. AS it is. Baldwin will probably give her
only few thousand dollars. Anita Is IL years
old. very pretty and accomplished. and about
the only human being that the old millionaire
really cares for. Ho was proud of her beauty
and intelligence. and said II she married to
suit him. he would give her his 7O.OOO-acre
Santa Anita ranch. which Is worth fully $1O.-
George Baldwin was brought from Maryland
clerk in the baldwin Hotel. He was handsome
and clever and about 20 years old. He and
Anita. then only II. became close friends.
When Lucky finally discovered that they were
lovers he sent Anita to II girls seminary. but
the lovers cOrrcsponded. and when they found
tho old millionaire wouldn't listen to their
union they decided to marry In spite Of him.
Baldwin forbade Anita to speak to her cous-
in. and when he found them together one day
This was about Christmas and George got his
revenge by ind lcng Anita to marry him on u
tug. As she WAS not OF age the marriage was
kept secret. and Lucky Baldwin does not know
II yet. A despatch will be sent to him to- day
on his ranch. He will be savage and those
who know him say the girl has made great
mistake. as hewill mover forgive her.
