HER FATHER IS HERE
AND GIRL is HAPPY,
Meeting Between the Two Was Quite
Affecting.
THE WARRANT WAS DISMISSED.
Dover Settled Bill of Costs and BE
leased From Custody Miss Taylor
Accompanies Her Father Back Il
Rochelle.

An aged and hesrt-broken father
and beautiful, penitent daughter, a
bunch of lawyers, q police chief and
a prisoner formed the dramatis per-
sonae in comedy in real life here yes
terday, which, however, ended hap
PLY and doubtless to the satisfaction
of all concerned.
The affair was one quite ont of the
ordinary here.
The Times-Recorder has told al
ready the story of the arrest of s. G.
Dover here on Thursday last and the
detention Of Miss Catherine Taylor, q
pretty young lady who accompanied
him to Americas.
The couple came from Rochelle, and
Immediately upon arrival were taken in
charge by Chief Wheeler uponlinstruc-
tioRs from the sheriff of Irwin county.
Dover was locked up at the barracks,
where he remained until yesterday.
while Miss Taylor went to Chief
Wheeler's home.
The officers at the other end of the
line were notified of the detention of
the couple. Chief Wheeler was advised
of their coming here at once.
And the concluding act of this come
DIV of errors was played yesterday.
Mr.. Taylor, the girls father, an aged
ana highly respected citizen of Ro-
chelle, accompanied by his attorneys
and the sheriff of Wilcox, arrived in
Americas at 10 o'clock. They imme-
diateIV had a conference with the
young lady, who was still at the resi-
dence of Chief Wheeler.
The meeting between father and
daughter was most affecting. With
voices choked with emotion, neither
could speak, but the meeting was a
happy one.
The case was then discussed at some
length between them.
The father was armed with warrant
for Dover and it was evidently the in
tention at first to take him back to Ro-
chelle. Evidently the father was better
satisfied with the status of affairs upor
arrival here as he consented to dismiss
the warrant, Dover paying all the costs
to date,
This was done, Dover was released,
and aboard the $50 p. m. train Miss
Taylor went back to her happy home
with her father. Dover is still in
Americus and may remain here.
