HAS BEEN FOUND.
And the Young Man Who Was Thought
to Know Something About Her Has
Been Released.

The young man wha was arrested by
the police on suspicion that he had
something to do with the disappearance
from the city of a young and pretty
girl. has been released.
1t was discovered by the officers that
ne had absolutely nothing to do with
the runaway, except that he purchased
a ticket to Alamogordo for the little
miss and had already prepared to go to
Arizona himself. thus showing that the
young people had no intention of re-
joining one another and marrying. as
it was at first supposed.
The laws of this state are exceedingly
severe on young meE who marry girls
who are under the legal age without
first having obtained the consent of the
parents or guardian and for that reason
the young man ives held until the run
away incident could be thoroughly in
vestigated.
As for the young girl herself. she
was found safe and sound at Alamo
gordo and readily consented to re-
turn to her parents.
