Donna Davis, 17-year-old young lady
OF the same village, who is q sister Of
Mrs. Ed Bligh. The girls parents are
not living. but her other relatives are OPP
posed to the match and have endeavored
to break it off, but to no avail. Yesterday
morning the couple slipped away on the
Milwaukee train for Wisconsin. that
Gretna Green where lovers can wed with

some town Just across the line, and
will return tonight with the knot tied so
tightly that it can neither be united nor
cut-except by divorce court. The
young couple will make their home in
Stewartville, and will doubtless receive
the blessing of the brides relatives after
the first shock of surprise is over. 1t is

simple fact would not be considered
singular, but there is spice of romance
connected that makes it interesting.
