RETURNS HOME.
Laura Golfers Mother Comes
After Her.
The Girl Had Started Westward on her
Wheel, but Changed Her Mind
and Returned.


ran away from her home at
Minnehaha Park last Friday and
was taken into custody in this
city Thursday was released next morn
ing. Chief Bruels did not feel justified
in holding her longer, inasmuch as he
had received no word from Chief Doyle,
of Minneapolis. Chief Bruels tele.
phoned to Mr. Doyle yesterday fore
noon and was advised to hold the girl
until her mothers wish could be as
certained, but nothing further was
heard from him.
Miss Collier was glad to leave the Jail,
and after going to the city hall for her
diamond frame wheel she threw her
dainty foot over the cross bar, slid upon
the saddle and pedaled off up Front
street, caring nothing for the gaze of
score of men gathered in front of the
city hall. She had announced her in
tention of following the Minnesota
river to it's source, and will no doubt
spend tonight at New Ulm. She has
no desire to return home, as she says
she does not like her foster father. and
she lost no timesin getting out of the
city
Laura's mother, Mrs. Harriet K.
Eaves, arrived in the city on the noon
train over the Great Western road.
She went to the city hall, where she
learned that her daughter was gone.
She then visited the court house, and
while there received a message by tele-
phone that Laura had returned. 1t
seemed that the girl rode out on the
bottom road to New Ulm ten miles
through sand and mud She then re-
Tented of her purpose and returned to
Mankato, intending to go home. Mrs.
Eaves was glad to find her daughter,
and the latter seemed glad to see her
mother. They left for home on
the 4:45 p. m. train.
Mrs. Eaves states that her daughter
has always been peculiar, Before she
was two years old, she ran awey and !
hid in the hazel brush beside
Minnehaha creek while thirty peo
pie were hunting for her. A
year later she ran away again and
climbed nearly to the top of the dan
gerous stairway at the falls. She has
been running away since Although
seventeen years old she acts like aseven
year old child, and plays with small
children and wallows around in the
dirt with puppies and chickens. She.
does not care for the boys, but is un-
truthful and untrustworthy. She was
at the House of the Good Shepherd for
five months for incorrigibility, and
various ladies' societies have tried to do
something for her, but without avail.
Mrs. Eaves is poor woman, and con-
ducts refreshment stand at Minnehaha
Falls. She also raises sweet peas. Her
own family history has had its dark pa
ges. Her first husband turned out to be
man who already had one wife. 81
did not know this until after l had
kicked him out" said Mrs Eaves. His
name was Collier, and he never came
back. Mrs. Eaves has never considered
it necessary to get divorce from him.
Mrs. Eaves stated that she did not
know what she would do with her
daughter when she got home. Several
of her friends had asked her that ques-
tion, but she considered that it was her
duty to look after the girl, as she was
her only child.

The Washington Times Of recent date
says
Reginald Schroeder a newspaper
correspondent, just returned from Berlle-
ley Springs, brings the significant news
that at a rccent primary election in that
voting precinct the Democrats cast seven
ty-three ballots. -Four years ago at tie
Presidential election Mr.. Bryan received
at the Berkeley Springs poll, only twenty
seven votes. The voting population of
the place has undergone no material
change in four years The Democrats
did not understand the issues of the last
campaign and nearly fifty of them wander
ed off from the fold. There are no boilers
among them at the present, however, and
every Democrat in the precinct is going
to vote for Bryan. If this proportion
holds good through the State there can
be no doubt about West Virginia swing
ing back into the Democratic column
this year.
