Indians Of the White Earth reservation.
The couple arrived in the city yesterday
forenoon and Immediately after dinner
were married by Court Commissioner
Henry Gallick.
Their marriage certificate had hardly
been made out when telegrapnic advices
| from Washington told of their disappear
| ance and added that the bride had left
there on the eve OF her wedding with
DR.. J. Wilson Hope, of the National Sol
diers' home, Hampton, Va, and had left
Washington in company with Mr. Camp
bell, whom she had known and loved for
long time. The news of ner departure
was an entire surprise to her family, who
| for two long years had strenuously op-
posed her marrying the man of her choice
and had advocated the claims of the
young physician.
DR.. Hope is a resident OF Hampton,
where he has held position in the SOL
diers' home for several years, and met
Miss Rudd before she became acquainted
with her present husband. His suit was
favored by the Young lady's mother and
sister, but wasn't looked upon with as

self Recently he has pressed his suit
with such ardor that arrangements were
made for the marriage and the family
looked forward with pleasure TO seeing
the two united. But with the usual lack
of foresight, the matchmakers failed to
remember that the young lazy held the
balance of power, and 1t now appears
that the Doctors courtship was used as
a shield to more serious affair, which
resulted in the disappearance of the In
tended bride on Saturday with man

suit. Mr.. Campbell and Miss Rudd made
all haste and before the news of their

watching the railroad stations to prevent
the departure Of the couple they were
hurrying westward over the Chesapeake

about his flight and his marriage. He
