Laird, Of Indianapolis, at the point OF
a revolver chased Joseph L. Fendrick,
who says he is a Philadelphia detect
i've, into the hands of policeman, who
took the two and the woman's daughter
Miss Della Maud Isgrig, to the Four
Courts, where the details of double
elopement were revealed. The young
lady told her story as follows:
Il am 19, and my sister, Grace Marie
Isgrig, is 10. We could not agree with
our stepfather, Geo. Laird, and we
wanted to get away. About four
J weeks ago we met two gentlemen at the
Dennison Hotel, in Indianapolis. One
OF them is Mr.. Frank Fendrick.
Mother sent us to Monmouth Mills TO
relatives last week, but the gentle
men wired us money from St Louis,
and we changed cars at Peoria fer st.
Louis.
I'VE arrived here Friday evening,
and the gentlemen met us at the Union
Station and took us up to the Planters
/ Hotel where we have been stopping

marrying Fendrick, and just wanted
to have good time
She said the name Of the man who
was with her sister was Lawrence
Dinklespeil, alias Larry Raymond, a
detective working for Fendrick's agen-
| cy in Philadelphia.
The girls mother persisted in say
/ ing that they were her nieces, that her
name was Mrs. Anna Rice, and her
home was at Lebanon, Ind. She after

st. Louis, April PA marriage
license was issued Tuesday to Mr..
Thomas H. Wickes, Jr., son of Vice
President Wickes, of the Pullman Pal
ace Car Company, and Miss Mana j.
Nelson. of Kansas City. Despite the
possessionof legal permissionto marry,
the young people will not enter the
matrimonial state until some future
date. This is on the statement Of the
young man himself
The fact that Mr.. Wickes has not
been a permanent resident of st. Louis
and that his bride-to-be comes from
another city, gave ground for the sus-
picion that an elopement was con-
templated.
When Mr.. Wicles was seen to-day
at the residence of his uncle, Mr.. Har-
rison, he denied this emphaticaliy.
Miss Nelson is in the house here
and there will be no marriage for the
present" was his statement.
Mr.. Wickes was unwilling to make
any explanation of this peculiar state
of things, but in answer to a question,
said that the marriage was perfectly
agreeable to the families of both.

Plunger j. A. Forsythe, Of Wheel

Oil men have been watching the
Holmes well to see if the Mckay gusher

KAY was taking oil out of the Holmes

The gauge shows that the famous
