Tuesday afternoon a very sensational
elopement was nipped in the bud by the
police. 1t was done quietly, in fact so
quietly that only a very few people
knew anything about 1t. The principals
in the affair We're a thirteen-year-Old
girl and a man between twenty-five and
thirty years Of age. The girl was evil
IDENTIFY much infatuated with the man
and ready to go to the ends Of the earth
with him. When the couple were parted
by the police she wept bitterly and came
very near making a scene. The case is
particularly sensational on account Of
the age Of the girl, who is little more
than a child. She still wears short
dresses and has her hair braided and
hanging down her back. She is a pretty
girl, and although a child, has much
knowledge OF the world and its ways.
The young couple live I'm Adams coun-
ty near Monroe, village a few miles
from Decatur. The girl is Lille, the
daughter Of Mrs. Potter. Her father
died some time ago and the child has
grown up altogether under the mothers
instruction. A year ago she made the
asduaintance Of Fred Amaker. a young
man living in the same neighborhOod,
Amaker commenced by walking home
with Lille from church or Sabbath
school He being man Of nearly thirty
years no possible harm TO the child was
ever dreamed of, but soon the attention
of the young man was very marked. He
came to see the girl and the two be-
haved very much as il Lille was a
grown up young lady and entitled to re-
ceiVe attention from young men. The
counsel of friends would not deter the
young girl and she finally. it seems, be
came completely in the power of
Amaker.-Ft Wayne Journal.
