HISBRIDE RAN AWAY
AN ELoPEMENT WHICH ENDED
IN A SHOOTING AFFRAY.


Portsmouth, Ohio. Aug 30.-At White
Oak. in Greenup county ten miles from
this city. Benjamin Baker. a sturdy
young farmer, and Miss Ellen Davis. q
well educated and popular young lady.
were married July 4. For time their
home appeared to be a veritable Eden.
but in this Eden the serpent crept In
the shape of JEFF Baker. an uncle Of
the young husband. JEFF was old and
twisted and crippled In manner that
made him repulsive to many. In addl-
tion he was illiterate and very sour Of
disposition. JEFF made a practice OF
visiting around among his relatives,
and the nephew supposed he would be
a guest of but few days. and resolved
to stand the afiiiction.
Tuesday the young man returned
from a business trip to this city and
discovered that his handsome young
wife and his ugly old uncle had flown
away together. Securing several
friends a search was made for the rum
aways, who were discovered last night
in an old hut on Shultz creek. Old JEFF
fired upon the pursuers with n shot
gun. The fire was returned and then
the men closed In upon the house.
When an entrance was secured. It was
found that the man had escaped. The
woman was captured after a severe
struggle. in which she badly cut her
husband with a bowie knife. She was
taken to the Greenup Jail, while young
Baker was removed to the home OF his
mother. His wounds are serious and
will probably prove fatal
1t is believed that the uncle was shot
as a trail of blood was followed next
morning to the creek. where II was
lost. A search is still being made for
him by the friends of the wronged hus-
band. and he will be severely dealt with
even II he escapes the lynching that is
threatened by the enraged Kentucki.

The veterans stopped a few moments
on arriving in front of Prince Bis

The chief of forestry appeared at the
gate and invited those In attendance
to enter. Bismarck. who appeared in
excellent health, walked firmly forward
to meet them, welcoming them cordial
ly, saying he was not able to express
the joy he felt at the thought they had
come such a great distance to see him.
He frequently had the opportunity of
welcoming Germans from America, but
to-day he felt especially glad to be able
to greet so many Of his former COM
rades in arms from the other side of
the water. He then invited the four
members Of the committee to luncheon.
AS they gathered round the table In the
dining hall, all the members Of Prince
Bismarck's family being present. the
conversation is said by members OF the
committee to have been most interest
ing, the prince relating many incidents
of the war of 1901. A letter was
handed him from lady in Utah ex-
pressing regret that her husband felt
an inability to visit Germany and say
ing that all Germans In Utah would
be glad to send greetings to Prince
Bismarck.
The prince then drank to the health
of the Germans in America, of the
Germans in Utah. mentioning espe-
cially the German-Americans Of Chi
cago. and adding as he spoke about
Chicago: ''If you like your mayor, I
will also drink to his health" Lunch
con over, the prince asked all of the
German-Americans to visit the park,
! which forms part Of his estates at
Frledrichsruh. After visit to this
park the members of the delegation
took UP a position in front Of the gate.
The prince walked up and down the
paths several times and greeted all
the members Of the delegation. He
conversed with many in reference to
the part they had taken during the
war with France. making many in
quiries Of a personal nature. At the
conclusion Comrade Schlenker called
upon those present to give a ringing
cheer for Prince Bismarck. All stood
with heads barred. Prince Bismarck
asked them TO replace their hats on
their heads. for a slight rain was fall
ing and he feared they might feel the
Ill effects of It. The deputation then
wheeled to the right with a soldierly
precision which seemed to please the
prince, and cheering continuously. the
German-Americans marched away.
The prince and the members of his
family watched the veterans of to-
ward the station.
