AN ELoPEMENT ENDS IN TRAGEDY.
An elopcment ended with tragedy in
Oil City, Ky, Monday night. When
the oil excitement came, the capitalists,
who said they were developing the
fields in opposition to the Standard Oil
Company, got the services Of an expert
in building an oil refinery John l..
Morton, well-known worker in the
Ohio oil fields, was secured. He brought
his family with him. Among his child
rem was pretty girl Of 1G. They ar
rived in Oil City last year. Several
days ago Frank Potts, a young mer-
chant of Findlay, Ohio, the former home
of the Mortons, came to Oil City and
asked Morton for his daughter Helen
in marriage.
Morton had repeatedly ordered Potts
from his house in their old home, and
when the cyoung man made bold enough
to approach him ON the subject of mar
riage TO his daughter Morton grew furi-
Gus. lie told Potts that he should not
even see his daughter, and if he at
tempted to Go so he would get his head
shot off. Potts tried to reason
with Morton, but was ordered to
leave the Office. Ii is supposed that
the Young man saw his sweetheart
secretly, for when Morton returned
from his office Monday night Miss Hell
en- could not be found. The neighbor
who had been watching her arrived
about an hour later with the story that
the Girl had eloped with Potts. lie had
seen her come from the rear of the
house dressed as usual and start Off to-
wards the suburbs as if for walk. He
followed her and saw her meet Potts,
who was in buggy with two horses at
tached. As the girl started to get into
the carriage her guard rushed forward
to prevent it. The lover drew re-
yolver and told him to stand oil or be
shot. Then they drove away.
Morton at once mounted horse and
started in pursuit He carried shot
gun, and declared that he would follow
/ them to Canada ifit should be neces-
sary to get the girl back. The elopers
went toward Cave City, but got lost en-
route The father reached that place
first, and, learning that they had not
arrived, decided that they had turned
off side road. is he was starting
home he met them in the road.
Morton called on Potts to surrender
Potts replied by attempting to turn his
I buggy and escape. Morton fired at
once. Potts fell from the buggy shot in
his breast. One of the horses was kill
ed by stray shot and the girl narrow
lv escaped a similar fate. 1t is not
thought that Potts's wounds will prove
fatal. His relations are Ell route from
