MOTHER OF GIRL RElENTS.
Permits Her Fourteen-Year-Oid Daugh-
ter to Wed,

Permits Her Fourtcen-Year-Old Daugh-
ter to Wed.
The police of Fremont had an odd
sort of an elopement on their hands.
Tuesday. Lon Mosley, a baker who.
has been making his home in Fremont,
1t is charged, took "a fourteen-year-old
girl named Pearl Luke from her home
at Norfolk and the enamourcd pair
came to Fremont. The mother of the
girl was much exercised and sent a
telephone message to the chief of po-
lice asking him to hold the pair until
she could arrive. The couple, very
penitent, stayed in the custody of the
police all night and in the morning
faced Mrs. Luke, who came in bright
and early. 1t appears that the mother
agreed with her daughter that fourteen
years is a proper age for a girl to wed
and merely wanted to see that the mar
riage ceremony was properly cele-
brated. After receiving the parental
blessing the nuptial knot was tied.

miles west of Donnelly, Mimi, shot his
twenty-three year old son, Russ, blow

shot himself through the heart. There

General SUMMONS vas severely, but
not dangerously wounded.
The battle was a brilliant success
The Beers got a reverse which may
possibly, fora time, at any rate, check
all aggressive action.
The British artillery practice in the
early part of the day decided the bat
tie. The seizure of Dundee hill by the
Beers was a surprise, for although the
pickets had been exchanging shots all
night, it was not until a shell doomed
over the town into the camp that their
presence was discovered. Then the
shells came fast. The hill a posi-
lively alive with the swarming Beers,
still the British artillery got to work
with magnificent energy and precision.
The batteries from the camp took up
positions to the south of the town, and
after aquarter hours magnificent firing
silenced the guns on the hills.
