sent to the telegraph Office in charge OF
the groom and II it was forwarded or
not, is not definitely known.
ION the way from this city to Fosto-
ria the couple seemed very laxative
and their language conveyed the i'm
preston that both we're lar moro tnau
ordinarily intelligent. Judging from
remarks made during their conversl-
ton the couple had at various times
paid visit 20 this city, in fact the
bride seemed well acquainted here,
judging from the number OF names she
used during the conversation carried
on. 1t was also learned that the groom
is forty-two years OF age and the bride
twenty.four.
A FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE.
at is currently reported on the
streets OF this city that a picture OF
Mr.. Potter adorns the poster which is
posted at Chicago Junction and upon
which is the announcement that the
original OF the picture is fugitive from
justice and that there is reward OF
$500 offered for his apprehension, no
being charged with forgery committed
in Iowa,
"The enclosed letter from Conduc tor
Corwn was read TO DR.. Bigger and MIR.
Ritz to-day, and both stated that the
description it contained is identical
with the man with whom they came III
contact on Wednesday.
ut has been learned further that at
various times during the summer the
lady, who answers the description OF
the bride, who was rather tall and has
blonde hair, has been seen in this city,
and when here carried on Geographic
communication with Mr.. Potter.
"lhe Rev. DR.. Bigger, who performed
the marriage ceremony, states that the
suaye and gentlemanly Mr.. Potter said
he was a conductor on theSanta Fe, and
also a stakeholder in that worthy cor
poration, having in his name not less
than $50 shares OF stock. lie referred
to Il number OF prominent men, among
them Rev. DR.. Myron Reed, and said
that he had been singing in the Trinity
Episcopal church in Denver for nearly
a score Of years. When the apparently
happy groom left the residence OF the
minister he offered passes to DR.. Bigger
and family to Denver, or for that matter
to the Pacific coast, at any time that the
doctor felt disposed to address him ut
his street and residence in Denver, he,
OF course, being compelled to have the
passes sent from the head Office in Chi
cago. The groom aud bride seemed
perfectly frank, and were certainly con-
summate actors. The lady bore all the
marks in conversation, dress and man
ners OF cultured young woman.
AT Clark's livery barn it has been as
certained further that he told Mr.. Clark
that he was the owner OF large livery
barn in Colorado. In connection with
his having been robbed in Chicago Of
$500, he also told other stories, which
now convey the impression that the
assertion made in the foregoing is just
one
80 far as the antecedents or resi-.
dence OF the bride are concerned. there
is nothing to be given that would justify
our readers in believing that she has or
has not been severely duped.

groom reads A. b. Potter and Mamie
